I just sent this email to the GSDCA Board: Don't you think it is the responsibility of the GSDCA to respond to these AR sponsored bills no matter what the State of issue? I know I sure do and I would hope that we as a Board would support a plan of action and maybe we should discuss this fully in April. However, April is too late for the IL Bill #1790 which must be stopped now or the German Shepherd Dog will be listed as a dangerous Breed, have to wear an orange tag on its collar and be either spayed or neutered. Doesn't sound like there will be anymore German Shepherd Dog Clubs nor shows in IL if this bill passes. It is time the GSDCA became very active in these matters.
