Organizations verified as opposing PAWS posted last month include Ashville Kennel Club (NC) Arapahoe County Republican Party (CO) PAWS is still a threat. It added two House cosponsors in March. Rep Towns, Edolphus [D-NY10] - 3/7/2006 Rep Rush, Bobby L. [D-IL1] - 3/28/2006 Three AKC parent breed clubs continue to play a very dangerous political game, trying to walk both sides of the street on PAWS. In August-November 2005, their boards voted to oppose PAWS. Public announcements and club website postings to that effect were made, but they never implemented S119-HR2669 opposition positions with communications to legislators. Those membership-defying club officers control the Maltese Club of America, Staffordshire Terrier Club of America and Vizsla Club of America. What goes around comes around. Staff owners in particular should be concerned, as that breed requires the sympathy and support of many other dog owners. Vizsla owners are also subject to special threats, as the non-comitting sighthound clubs are discovering in California. Clubs need to united in their opposition to animal rightist trash legislation, such as PAWS. Those that choose to play political games and let others fight their fights should suffer reduced event entries. Moreover, volunteer firemen are known to be slow responding to the burning houses of those who repeating refuse to support them.
