no, we aren't fighting...but it did look a little scrappy there for a post or two. You are right...we all have to fight, not just locally but everywhere we can... Just tonite one of my other lists had a post from someone who carried on about fighting the LA bill...she could see nothing wrong with having breeders licensed, because she thinks it will get rid of pit bulls and puppymills. This is the kind of mentality that gets us divided...which means we are defeated before we begin. She, like so many others, just doesn't believe this legislation will ever have an impact on her or her breed... I had another email from someone in California who said the legislative liaison to AKC for her all breed club doesn't want to write any letters or take any action at all, since she is against puppy mills. Why anyone would take a position as a legislative anything and not understand what we are facing is beyond me...unfortunately, both those women (who wrote) haven't "got it" yet, and probably won't until the dog police come knocking at their doors........... We can't be jealous, we can't argue, and we can't jockey around for position...we have too much to lose.
