To The List: I received this e-mail this evening and thought it was interesting enough to sent to the list. I was told that Carmen replied and I'll send the reply to you later. The person who sent this to me, gave me permission to forward this.

I heard that you voted in favor of Hunte's membership. Is this true? Did you disclose to the parent club that you have been a feature speaker at the Hunte Corp conference prior to your vote? Did you receive renumeration (monetary or other consideration) from the Hunte Corp, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates? Did anyone ask Hunte about the circumstances surrounding the Hunte Corp's purchase of DoBoTri Kennels? According to my preliminary research, Doug Hughes,operating under the license of DoBoTri Kennels, settled charges of violations of the Animal Welfare Act with the USDA by agreeing to a license revocation and a $7,500.00 fine. According to my research, Hunte Corp then hired Doug Hughes as a Director of Breeder Support and in 2003 promoted Hughes to the position of Vice President of Breeder Support. Were you aware of any of this? No officer, director, or member of the club should be intimidated by veiled threats of litigation by Hunte's attorney. I have gat hered information that I am willing to share. I had the utmost respect for you Carmen and I hope the parent club will immediately recall the vote. I had planned to join and become active with the local and parent clubs . Unfortunately, I cannot and will not be able to join based upon the decision of 9. My greatest respect goes to the courageous 8 that had backbone to take a stand for the integrity, character and respect that the parent club deserves. Jewel Farlow 336-327-0390 Check out the new AOL.
