I just heard on the news that Rush Limbaugh has come out in support of HSUS
because he is against animal cruelty.....Would he would support them if he
knew about the money HSUS spends on their legislative agenda vs money to
help animals?? Perhaps not......I am of the opinion that one or all of the
national animal groups, ie: NAIA or SAOVA needs to present Rush and other
media figures with the FACTS about HSUS...not only about how much they don't
do for animals, but how they are pushing legislation that violate our civil
rights...ie: "animal control officers" having the right to enter your home,
without a warrant. (obviously only one example)
What do you think, Stormy? Would you pose my suggestion to the folks you
might know who could take this on? If someone on "our side" doesn't bend the
ear of the media figures, HSUS obviously will.
Bill O'Reilly writes about the "culture war"....We are now in a culture war
with the AR groups.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Considering quitting
Thank you, Terry... my issue of thinking about quitting came after I read
the Analysis of the upcoming CA bills yesterday. On the bill that caps
breeding animals (any age unsterilized with the AC able to take overages)
there were 4 or 5 organizations and a few letters. On the upcoming bill
that is worse than AB1634, (being heard in the first committee in a couple
of hours) there was negligible opposition.
And I KNOW all the people who are active (me, included) were email ALERTS
and information out on how important these two bills are. It was the same
in several other states. Making it easy for people to oppose. Hitting my
head against a block wall HURTS!
I don't show anymore, or breed.... I just care that our freedoms of choices
are being taken animal by animal, food group by food group, choice of
clothing, number of animals... (SHoot, even pet store by pet store!!) more
and more, by this (REALLY!) relatively small fringe group who is dictating
to the rest of us.
And many of you all are letting them! I was going to say "we are", but that
block wall with my "headprint" says I'm not................yet.

The time is coming when the decision to stop or continue will be made for
you by the dog legislation that is being passed. The one that just passed
the house in Oregon state will put a stop to much of the breeding that is
going on there by hobby breeders. Not that they are going to band it but
they will pass lemon laws that says if you breed a dog with a genetic
problem you will be responsible for the vet bills. Who is willing to take a
chance on that? The ironic thing about this is that the only breeders left
standing will be those that can afford the insurance that it will take to
continue, Hunte comes to mind. He will be buying our dogs
My advise is to enjoy your breeding programs while they last because it is
truly a dying sport. We have spent way too much time hoping and wishing that
the few fighters among us will win the fight. Our success or failure rest on
our own shoulders. No one to blame but ourselves. If we could have put as
much passion into fighting animal legislation that we put into fighting
amongst ourselves, then we might have won.
