Thanks for the feedback, Rick. And on behalf of the Austin Animal Advisory
Commission, I apologize for Cathy Olive's rude and unprofessional reply to
you. Unfortunately, it is not the first comment like this from Cathy to a
citizen of which I am aware.
Please understand that Cathy is very much a minority voice on the Animal
Advisory Commission. She certainly does not speak for me.

Please take a moment to re-consider this one.
Take note that the money that you are attempting to make off of this bill
will be lost ten fold by the loss of vacationers and people that would
normally come to your wonderful city for dog shows. I live in Tucson and I
actively show dogs across the country and let me tell you this is currently
such a hot issue with everyone across the land that it's amazing!
Now read this response from Cathy Ann Olive (trzoo@xxxxxxx) an Austin
Committee Staff member. This was in response to a dog hobbyist stating that
people will no longer come to Austin for shows.
"Fine. We only have one dog show a year. Not a big deal."
This was a very bad response. Guess what?
This has also made across the country already.
YES, there may be only 1 show a year in Austin but there are other clubs
in Austin that have their shows close to Austin (Hutto, San Antonio,
Leander, Montgomery) and they will also be effected by a ban by dog
hobbyists that will no longer come to Austin.
Austin Bulldog Club
Collie Club Of Austin, Inc.
Greater Austin Doberman Pinscher Club
Austin Kennel Club, Inc.
Austin Golden Retriever Club
Austin K-9 Xpress Agility Club
Capitol Dog Training Club of Austin, Inc.
Travis County Kennel Club
Honestly, is this what you are really trying to accomplish?
I believe that I can understand what you are attempting to accomplish but
I feel that there has to be a better way.
Good luck with your future endeavors.
