In all due respect to everyone else involved I would like to try and dissect the thinking process of those who voted YES in plain English just to get things straight in my mind why they chose to vote this way. While I am trying to follow their train of thought there are obviously one or two who have made up their minds right from the start to choose Hunte above all. Then there are those who were thinking of retribution or possible financial loss in case of a law suit. The third group, if there is a third group, is a little more complex. They might have assumed that, if "merging" (I chose this word loosely) with Hunte there may be a better chance of fighting the other bad guys who wish to abolish owning and breeding of animals altogether. So, what we have here is a so called alliance with one faction to fight the other. In my opinion, this is the wrong way of going about it. You will use one to eliminate the other and once the other is eliminated what happens then? Will we need to unite with all the breed clubs if we have not done so already to fight against 1. Hunte who hopes for more puppy mills so that he can exceed his millions or 2. those who want to do away with dogs in particular and animals in general? If this was truly why the third group voted YES I hope they redirect their thinking. I am hoping that there may be a happy ending to this fiasco but we also would like for all YES voters to understand why the membership was so upset over the outcome of the Hunte voting. I have a feeling we will see a different picture after the next Board meeting. Keep your faith, y'all. Just remember, the above are only my thoughts. So, now you can go ahead and dissect ME, if you wish. Lee Fossland - not Lee Brown ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
