Some food for thought:
(In the vernacular of the whimsical Penn & Teller â??Bullshitâ?? TV series)
We all have had the benefit of reading some very excellent thoughts,
viewpoints, arguments and pleas (i.e. Peggy, Christine, Margery, Jeff, Dan,
Tony
just to name a few) expressed on this List regarding the Hunte approval
issue.
All of whom emphatically voiced their dismay, disgust, distress, and
disbelief over this matter, and others surely are nodding their heads in
approval
while reading the opinions of many that have voiced great concern over this
issue. Some may have the bravado to classify it as bitching, however, it
would
be careless to underestimate the level of distaste that many have perceived
regarding this issue. One thing that is clearly palpable from the majority
of
the membersâ?? reactions is that they are â??P.O. â??dâ?? that this happened,
and
it won't go away until itâ??s fixed!
In fact, if one were to venture a guess that if put to vote by the
membership today, the Nays would prevail by a very conservative estimated
margin of
80%-20%. So then, if one believes that this is the case, why was it such a
difficult decision for the BOD when it seems so clear to the membership?
Are
we to believe that these high functioning Board Members possess great
vision,
unveiled facts, and with their profound clarity, know what is best for all?
Mind you, all without the benefit of an intelligent, or even plausible,
explanation. Sorry folks, that corny Joe Friday bit didn't quite hit the
mark for
me! â??BS!â??
Are we to believe that given all of the attorneys, savvy business men and
women, entrepreneurs, insurance professionals, etc., that have previously
served or are currently serving on the Board never recognized until now the
great
liability that existed for their individual and collective decisions? Is
it
now, and only now (after the Hunte vote) that we are to believe the
unveiling of this great disparity in insurance coverage is a viable
justification? â??
BS!â??
Most recently, we are now to believe that this is â??no problemâ?? as the BOD
is quickly working towards rectifying this matter. In short, they will
basically change the Bylaws, inserting specific language thus â??
targeting/excludingâ??
this newly admitted member (i.e. Andrew Hunte), and simply kick him out!
Well, this negligent and nonsensical concept sounds more fraught with
litigation than not letting him join in the first place! We are now to
believe that
the same Board members that were deeply influenced by personal litigation
initially will suddenly now have the strength of their conviction to â??Just
Say Noâ??
! â??BS!â??
We have even heard such nonsense as â??we should lock arms with Hunte Corp.
in
an effort to fight against anti-dog/breeder legislation given their deep
pocketed lobbyists and vast resourcesâ??. Hey, while we're at it, maybe we
could
engage â??Daâ?? Enron executives to manage our investment portfolio.
Brilliant!
â??BSâ??!
Despite the cloak of secrecy, we now know who voted Yes and/or No on this
issue. Many of these No voters have substantiated their position in
writing to
this list. Conventional thinking would tell one that they are being
truthful with their assertions. So then, where the hell are the Yes
voters? As you
know, only one brave soul has come forward with her reasons to cast a yes
vote. While remorseful and genuinely concerned, a very well thought-out
and
truthful response was conveyed! Moreover, the honesty implied, coupled
with a
timely response, has appeared to maintain the trust of the membership for
this individual. However, are the rest of you so remiss in your business
skills
that we are to believe that this individualâ??s response is a blanket
statement for all of you? Or should it be apparent that a basic
explanation, much
less a plan of action, is not required? â??BS!â??
We have all heard the standard marketing infomercial that Andrew Hunte is a
really nice guy that runs a highly profitable business with a beautifully
sterile facility, with a great new incinerator, and shiny trucks, etc. etc.
blah, blah, blah��.. And oh, by the way, he really "loves" his GSD!
Therefore,
don't judge him based on the business he runs as itâ??s two separate issues,
the man and/or his business! Sorry folks, no matter how you slice it,
Andrew
Hunte or Hunte Corp. (the largest puppy miller, broker, agent, etc. in the
USA), is one entity! It is my understanding that this guy brokers so many
puppies he purports to need an incinerator. Why would anyone need an
incinerator? Do you think they are burning leaves in there or just maybe,
their unsold
product? You can't separate the two! Itâ??s like polishing an old sneaker.
Polish away, at the end of the day, itâ??s still a sneaker. Or better yet,
itâ??
s
like dressing up road kill in an Armani suit, it still stinks! â??BS!â??
Similar to all positions of leadership/management, a great deal of
responsibility is implicitly expected. With this responsibility comes
accountability. The BOD is ultimately responsible for the outcome of this
decision.
Specifically, those who voted in favor of the Hunte membership are clearly
accountable, individually and collectively!
So tell me, what happens when leaders, politicians, managers, employees
screw up in epic proportion? Ah, just ask old Donny Rumsfeld! They get
fired
(not to be confused with incinerated), or they are quickly asked to tender
their resignation! Many times, for the sake of PR, one individual, the â??
mouth-pieceâ?? of the botched plan, is offered up for the cause to â??fall on
the swordâ??
! Hmmm��..����.no BS here!
Don't be misled to believe that a quick fix will solve this issue, folks.
The vote must be nullified! The image of â??ourâ?? club is now damaged, and
our
sport is at greater risk than ever! Therefore, enough Bullshit, just fix
your mess!
Regretfully,
Randy Darnell
