Libby Am I to believe that the 18 people on the Board will decide this? If so, this will not fly! We did not (or did we?) vote these individuals in to decide for us on matters as important as this without membership input. This is way too important for a few to decide. Why do we have to use pictures of any animal? Could not an artist rendition of the perfect specimen be used? God knows we have enough talent just on this list to accomplish the job.
