Some of you said that Mr. Hunte is not hurting you or me. How narrow minded! Are those people thinking in earnest that his involvement does not have an impact on our good name or the GSD in general? Please, think beyond your horizons. Yes, I have heard of GSDCA members with bad breeding practices. But two wrongs do not make one right. Lee -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dawn Restuccia Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 11:09 AM To: gsd Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] The Hunte corporation Mr. Hunte's business is not just one that is distasteful...it is one that goes against the very fiber of what we as GSD breeders/exhibitors hold dear. He negotiates with puppy mills and traffics in misery . Very recently, one of his trucks carrying puppies burned here in Lowell Ma killing all of the innocent babies. Could an accident happen to any of us? Yes, but I doubt we would have had the volume of souls in OUR van that his corporation had put into that vehicle. We are having enough of a problem in the court of public opinion as being painted with the same brush as the mills or volume dealers...do we really need HIM giving that opinion credence? If a person who conducts business with a pet shop (even on the fringes) is a member of our club, how can the general populace believe us when we say never to purchase a pup from a pet shop? Fully understanding that we may not have the legal wherewithall to DENY him membership, we need to address this issue so that if confronted with a similar situation, we can LEGALLY refuse the application.
