Mr. Hefner's phone number is 636-949-0956; everyone should call him. I asked about the BSL, told him it was Breed Profiling and he told me he didn't care and no matter how much I talked he was not going to change his mind. =========================================================== The specific concern I have about this legislation is that it is aimed at the locality where we hold our National Specialty show (planned for 2006). We will be leaving a significant amount of our monies at this locality. Politicians need to understand, as Peggy M. has said, the monetary impact that dog activities bring to their constituents. My opinion is that if they want to kill our sport then they should not benefit from it. I say, threaten them with withdrawal of all activities in their area and see if it makes an impact in their opinion.
