There has been lots of coverage in Dog News of Pedigree's blackmailing breeed
rescure's to join AHS by offering them $2000.. The proceeds were to come
from the $1.6 million Pedigree received from promoting Shelter Dogs on the
Westminister Broadcast.
They received a lot of criticism for gathering so much money for "shelter
dogs' on a venue designed to promote pure bred dogs, with nothing going to pure
bred rescue. AKC and Wisminister have both taken a lot of criticism for
allowing PEdigree to do so.
If they donated $2000 to 200 rescues, that amount only come to $400,000 or
the $1.6 million they received. However, they added the crevat that the rescue
must join the Humane Society of America. I don't know for sure, but I am
guessing that most refused.
This is information I have gather from DOg News in the last 3 or 4 weeks.
