By the time of renewal, we will know what use he has made of his membership. Other than losing any credibility as a club who does not support puppy mills, so far I have seen no harm from his membership. While a passionate issue, I don't know what his membership does to this club. We may have problems in the future obtaining funds to fight animal cruelty, etc. I wonder how this will affect contributions to RALEEF, which was founded to fight exactly what Mr. Hunte supports. Other than those problems, raising funds, I don't know what harm his membership does to the club.
