OOOps! PAWS doesn't say "more than 25 dogs bred on the premises." I
was writing two responses at the same time and got that mixed up. What
it says is flat out..."sells not more than 25 dogs or cats at wholesale
or to the public" with no reference to where those dogs or cats were
bred (which is the part that bothers people who co-own and co-breed).
The reference to "only dogs or cats bred or raised on the premises of
the person directly at retail" refers to the 6 litters. The $500 limit
on "other animals" is gross, not profit............
Peggy, just to clarify;
If you breed 7 litters (here's your "OR")
OR
sell 25 dogs you didn't whelp/raise on your premises
OR
sell $500 worth of other furry friends (non dog/cat)
you would need a license under the proposed legislation.
*************************
Therefore, (in a rrrreeeeaaaalllyyyy ridiculous example) if
I whelp/raise/sell 6 litters
AND
sell 24 stud fee puppies (OMG!)
AND
sell $499 worth of ferrets and I would
ESCAPE regulation.
Now, good, bad or indifferent, let's just at least get the facts straight.
And where on earth besides the hysterical e-mails that are flooding all of
our e-mail boxes did you get AKC making $$$ off of this? All I saw was Jim
Holt "hopeful" that one parties (USDA) inspection would satisfy the other's
(AKC) and visa-versa? I don't get a conspiracy out of that. I suppose
somebody
has to bear the costs of inspections, but the AKC does it now for folks who
have over 7 litters, and I always thought they made it up on registration
fees. I guess I just thought the USDA would pay for inspections from
licensing
fees and whatever fines they imposed.
Again, I'm not saying it's good, bad or indifferent (I've said for me in PA
and many, many locations it's a non-issue because State & local regs are MUCH
stricter than the proposed PAWS legislation), but let's at least get the
facts correct. All this misinformation and hysteria are like nails on a
blackboard to me <G>. Or, as long as we are looking for conspiracies, maybe
all the
stuff I'm getting from lobbying organizations I've never heard of are
attempts from the same to deliberately misinform, stir up emotions and get
folks to
open their pocketbooks, lol:)
