      In the old western movies the hero would cast a look around the
campfire and quietly tell his compadres, "It's too quiet out there." It is
not in the nature of the animal rights adherents to be so quiet following on
the heels of a setback, or defeat of their plans. Take it from me, it is too
quiet out there in AR land. I have a very strong feeling that rather than
quietly licking their wounds, they are in fact laying plans, and circling
their wagons for another push from a different direction.

      California pet owners must take this opportunity to contact their
legislators and get them to initiate legislative protections for animal
ownership. They must call for the California Shelter system to be brought
under the constraint of the California Department of Agriculture, with some
very stringent guidelines. The shelter systems across this country have had
too free a hand for too long.

      Responsible Dog Owners of the Western States requests that cities,
counties, and states call for the following changes in protocols for laws
governing animal control agencies, and for shelters that are supported by
public funds;

        a.. Only dogs/cats that come into animal control with registration
papers from a pure-bred registry to be identified by breed.
        b.. Dogs/cats will be identified by size, weight, sex, intact
status, approximate age, color, and markings.
        c.. Every dog/cat taken in will have a record of where it came from,
and its final disposition.
        d.. All dogs/cats imported from outside of the locale of the area
served by animal control or shelter must be quarantined separately from
local animals for a period of six months prior to being offered for
placement to the public, or being transported to another venue.  Their city,
county, state, or country of origin must be prominently displayed on the
gate of the quarantine quarters. No public moneys shall be used for the care
and upkeep of imported animals.
        e.. Only local animal intake figures will be used to cite unwanted
animals in each animal control agency, or shelter?s locale. No imported
animals will be used in intake figures.
        f.. No animal control agency, or shelter shall breed animals, or
cause animals to be bred for the purpose of adding to intake figures.
        g.. No owner reclaimed animal shall be spayed/neutered without
express permission of the owner.
        h.. No animal control agency, or shelter shall cause any legislation
that mandates against the ownership, or use of animals, as it is a conflict
of interest.
