We have been fighting (telling people about it) for years now. There are PeTA
ads that say that for every dog you buy, a shelter dog dies, which is even more
disgusting… and a lie. Of course, shelter dogs are 'bought,' just the same as
other types of dog purchases, but by using the word 'adopt,' it comes off
better. Encouraging people to buy shelter dogs is great and correct, but to
disparage purebred dogs is more of the AR campaign after breeders and to have
all dogs not owned.
HSUS is beginning to go after AKC and pure bred dogs, much the same way that
the Kennel Club (UKC) has done, with comments about how the dogs are being
bred. The most recent rant of the HSUS about AKC is that AKC is 'encouraging'
all these new and rare breeds from Europe because the AKC breeders are
'ruining' the established breeds. (FCI recognizes 343 breeds, AKC about 180).
