i received this with a request to cross-post:
To those attending shows in TX during July. Dallas, San Antonio,
Houston, Longview, Corpus Christi to name a few.
Below is an email we received from a Houston Kennel Club member warning of
Animal Rights protesting at dog shows. Their website announcing a "warm up"
protest is below. Dallas is in the midst of passing more stringent laws
supported
by animal rights people.
Some years ago we had a warning like this; we drilled holes in the crates to
padlock the crate doors shut at the show preventing anyone from letting our
dogs out. Putting collars with nametags on dogs while they are in crates might
be a good idea too. Nothing may come of this but we need to be on the alert.
Better safe than sorry.
Mary
Keep our troops safe and God Bless America!

Warning re July TX shows - if you have dogs entered, including with handlers
The link
<A
HREF="http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/extreme-animal-rights/message/5949";>http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/extreme-animal-rights/message/5949</A>
is
to a Yahoo site (open entry so anyone can see it) with a request to "warm up"
the crowd for an AR protest at Dallas AKC shows on July 4, 5 & 6 (limited
specialties on the 3rd). Be aware they are attempting to mount a serious effort
to make a mess at these shows. Dallas is currently a major AR target and
apparently poised to fall to AR activity in the immediate future. This might
"inspire" dog show protest all the more with recent activity still fanning the
fires.
The quote forwarded below is from the Yahoo AR site.
Conveniently, the message talks about July 5th and 6th. The show site is
active from July 3 through the 6th. This 5 & 6th focus may be to lull people to
think the earlier days are "safer" than they really are.
With July 4th a holiday, attendance will be high and crowd control a factor
in permitting less obvious maneuvering than on a normal, slow Friday. July 4
appears to be a critical mass date too. Any of the days could be actual target
dates for activists. Details on the shows are viewable from the events page for
AKC <A HREF="http://www.akc.org/events/search/";>www.akc.org/events/search/</A>;
select conformation, TX and July and check by
date. The AKC shows on the holiday weekend are for three DFW area KCs at:
Dallas Market Hall
2200 Stemmons Freeway
Dallas, TX
Not just heads up, Dallas. Heads up, everyone, everywhere. Specialties start
on July 3, none for FTs, with KC all breed shows on the 4th through the 6th.
Please check with handlers also to determine status and whether you might want
to pull and/or keep dogs from traveling to the site.
Advise handlers of need to keep help stationed with all dogs on site, at all
times - at set ups, at the ring and in motor homes and vans. Trust no one
unknown, including ringside, since they use very insidious and often friendly
tactics to approach and gain release of animals.
They even use children to lend an innocence to their presence sometimes.
Be wary, very. These people don't hesitate to sacrifice animals to the cause,
though they try to keep their followers blissfully unaware and place the
blame on the sport or uncontrolled "reaction" on site, not their fault, and not
their doing. A dog reportedly recently died in KS after being released into
traffic at much smaller shows.
The "home page" for the Yahoo group includes the PeTA logo and a self
description. Again, be wary...
Description
The association for extreme measures to protect animal's rights.

AR's have a protest scheduled at an AKC show in DALLAS, July 5th and 6th
"It's important that we don't let these breeder/murderers of shelter dogs
have their fun at homeless dogs' expense." (Emphasis added.)
