Oh yea, that "federal legislation" was PAWS... and we we're NOT lied to....
at least not by "large breeders".... Someone should ask her why HSUS spends
next to NOTHING on actually helping dogs in shelters.

Oops left off the most important part of it....here it is again.
" I worked hard on federal legislation last year that would have closed
down the worst of the puppy mills and that tried to make life just a bit
better for the poor dogs who spend their lives in cages serving as puppy
factories. That legislation was killed largely by small breeders who were
lied to by some large breeding advocacy groups. Unaware of the real
story?that we were trying only to make life better for dogs in commercial
breeding facilities?they were frightened by the scare tactics and wrote me
letters that were full of inaccuracies. And no matter what I said, no matter
how many times I explained to them that they were not the ones being
targeted by the legislation, and no matter how many copies of the actual
language I sent them, they still didn?t believe me. I had no credibility
with them; I was the enemy, even though I had talked to breeders when we
crafted the legislation. I had talked to Mim and others who?d said ?any
half-decent breeder would support this,?
?you should do more,? ?it?s too weak,? ?get rid of those puppy mills.? But
Mim and the others knew and trusted me, and in hindsight I realized that was
something I needed with more breeders. If I had worked on building those
relationships years before, I would have been able to get the correct
information out. But I didn?t, and I couldn?t, and the animals suffered for
it.
We may differ on some things, but a good breeder loves her dogs, and we
should use that love to work together. So if you haven?t already, reach out,
meet some breeders in your community, call the local dog clubs. Tell them
what you?re thinking, and see if they?re interested in talking. And then
maybe, just maybe, the next time you can?t persuade someone to get her dog
from you, you?ll at least keep her from supporting pet stores, puppy mills,
and backyard breeders who don?t know a thing about dogs. And you?ll have
made a powerful friend along the way."

worth the read...but here is a small clip of it
