Absolutely, we as a National club, as well as every regional club, should join in this, Leslie. My regret went back a few years, but that's water under the bridge. Perhaps now an enlightened and new board will pursue the need for a STRONG legislative stance AGAINST the Animal Rights groups and FOR proactive measures to create new bonds with legislators at any level of local, state and national levels. It has what I've been harping on for quite some time now.... And if we don't do it, who will? The Rottie Club and the Dobie club put down the challenge, shall we take them up on it??? Let's do!!
