For some interesting reading, skim through some of the petition comments. Below is an interesting tidbit from a recent signee: "As for AKC support of this bill, what a reversal of their mission statement. At the airport the other day, a lady told me she tried to advertise her litter of puppies on the AKC breeder page, but they emailed her and told her she could not advertise with them, because she was USDA liscensed, and their organization was strictly for hobby breeders. Now, just 2 months later, they are saying just the opposite. What do you suppoes is behind that? Oh, by the way, AKC kept the lady's 60 dollars it cost to advertise her litter, but removed her listing" www.petitionspot.com/petitions/pawsoppose And remember, it takes up to 2 weeks for some of the letters to clear securitiy for committe members, so get them in the mail NOW! House AND Senate. If PAWS is on for 9/7, subcommittee and full committe members should be inundated with opposition letters before then. They are getting many more supportive than opposing at this point. :-( Stormy *^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^**^*\/\/\/\/*^* Dog's love is different, it requires no return www.FairhopeGSD.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
