As you are probably aware, an outfit calling themselves "Truth" is running an anti-smoking ad featuring a snarling, "vicious" GSD in a cage. I and several other Listers, both on Showgsd and Germanshepherds4Show have emailed to protest this campaign and all we get back is a form email stating that the GSD was not harmed during the filming of the ad. This might be a good place for RALEEF to step in and help educate the public about the inaccurate portrayal of our Breed in this ad. I have no doubt that some of the funding for this ad came from the AROWackos; this type of crap plays right into their loathsome claws. Is RALEEF set up to counter this kind of garbage? This is not an anti-smoking issue as far as I'm concerned; it's a totally biased and inaccurate portrayal of our beloved Breed. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
