I am having a real hard time with this one. In the legislative issues and Taking Command sections of the AKC website, there was...and that's the keyword here...was a list of the State Federations and hyper links to their web sites. Sadly...since most of the Federations are against PAWS...the AKC has removed they hyperlinks and the url address from each section. This was done to keep others that might go to their local or state federations from learning they are against PAWS and AKC's support of PAWS. I would hope as many of you as possible would email, call, or fax the AKC and tell them this action is beneath them. Yesterday AKC published several pro PAWS letters and endorsements. One came from a boxer breeder but the Boxer PC is against it. One came from a daschund breeder but the daschund PC is also against it. One came from a pug breeder...but you guessed it...the pug PC is also against PAWS. The last one came from a woman whose kinship with the ARO's is not a secret. Contact AKC folks...tell em to put the hyperlinks and the federation addresses back on the AKC site.
