It's not a mandatory thing. We voted the board in, and entrusted them to vote on these matters. We do not have to agree with them (I personally don't) but we need to show the world that we have taken steps to remedy this by forming a committee to clarify the procedures and criteria for membership within the P&P. I want to point out one more thing. I know we agree to not forward posts, but I know people do. Anything said here can be forwarded on to the entire show dog and animal welfare/rights world. And, frankly, some of it has been quite inflammatory and not factual. Do we really want to tarnish the club's reputation as one of the largest and most respected breed clubs over one man? That sure gives one man a lot of power over us. We are stronger than that.
