> Wayne Pacelle, president of what is called the "Humane Society of the
United States" -- although it operates no animal shelters -- would have more
credibility in protesting the cloning of a pet dog ("The problem with cloning
Fido," Aug. 9) on humane grounds if his organization was not at this moment
doing its utmost to make impossible the careful breeding of dogs, cats and
just
about every other common pet.
> Quietly awaiting the end of the August recess in the agriculture
> committees of Congress are twin versions of a Humane Society-promoted bill
with the beguiling name of the "Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005," or PAWS
for short. Claimed to be needed to combat a tidal wave of deceptive selling
of imported dogs (although there are no more than a few reports of such
selling and the bill contains no meaningful import control provisions), the
real
effect would be to federalize essentially all breeding of small pets. >

One of the best newspapers in the country ... They WILL run a
selection of contrary views. I'll post links as they show up.
Newspapers reach a big slice of your community; we learned that this had
appeared from a Wal-Mart customer assistance guy to whom Sharyn mentioned that
we bred whippets. EVERY congressman and state legislator knows what's in the
newspapers in his area, and if it concerns a law, that law is on his radar,
ready for you to call and give your opinion.
If you haven't yet written a letter to the editor (or a longer piece)
for your area paper, give it a shot!
