Want to read a bunch of baloney??? http://www.akc.org/canine_legislation/paws_QA.cfm excerpt from American Kennel Club Statement on the Proposed Pet Animal Welfare Statute 2005 As currently drafted, PAWS amends the Animal Welfare Act. The legislation offers a reasonable balance between addressing a changing marketplace where dogs are sold en masse over the Internet and imported from foreign countries, and protecting breeders from excessive regulation. After a detailed analysis of the legislative language, we have reached the conclusion that PAWS will adequately protect the autonomy of breeders, while enforcing reasonable industry standards for breeding and selling dogs.
