What do listers think about this?
In many cases recently, the cases have been thrown out of court, or
the charged found to be innocent. In the case of the handler and the
dogs in the van, she was found to be guilty. So there are many
variables.
Stormy Hope asking opinions.
There was recently a case in Penn involving two AKC show judges, a man
and a woman.
Now the AKC has adopted a policy that appears to be a response:
>>When an AKC-approved judge is charged by a government entity with
cruelty, inhumane treatment of animals, or similar offense involving
inhumane or cruel treatment of dogs, or charged by a government entity
with any crime involving moral turpitude, especially as it concerns
dogrelated activities, AKC may temporarily place the judge on
referral, which would have the effect of temporarily holding the
judge's approval to judge or accept assignments in abeyance. The
purpose of this procedure is to prevent the judge from judging or from
accepting assignments to judge while the charges are pending. If and
when the charges are resolved and AKC's inquiry into the matter
determines that no action will be taken by the AKC to cause a
suspension of judging privileges, the temporary judging referral will
be removed.<<
