I know this was on the list after Westminster, but I have received various emails (from pet leg. lists) that state that AHA is indeed a 'soft" Animal Rights group. I went to their site (link below), and did see on THIER links a link to Animal Defense League (a biggy right now on the Arista list), but could see nothing more that identified them as tied to Peta, DDL, HSUS, etc. OR anyplace that advertised an agenda as an agenda to end all breeding of dogs, hunting and competitive dog events. So I'm asking y'all (A native Californian, but I slip once in a while), for any info that you may have. Following is an excerpt from the email that I received: " This is also posted all over the WKC's website. What you may not be aware of is that Pedigree is donating ....delete..... to an animal rights organization, the American Humane Association (AHA). The AHA is part of the coalition that includes HSUS, Doris Day League and the Animal Fund. The AHA has openly advertised as their agenda to end all breeding of dogs, hunting and competitive dog events. http://www.americanhttp://www.http://www.amer ; http://www.charitywhttp://www.charih Investigate before you donate," "You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
