I am really offended by this.  There is NO comparison between Fred Lanting 
and Andrew Hunte.
Fred loves his dogs and treats them very well, better than many on this 
list.  I will NOT pay anyone for using his name.  Fred Lanting screwed up 
and got caught selling a dog at a dog show; I have seen many on this list do 
the same thing or worse.  Fred Lanting has never been anything but a 
gentleman whenever I have spoken with him or competed against him.  When I 
have shown in the same ring with him he was always a gracious winner and/or 
loser.  He never failed to congratulate me before he left the ring, when I 
won, and, when he beat me, he always accepted my congratulations with 
humility and genuine delight.  That is a lot more than I can say for many of 
the people that I have competed against over the past 4 years.  When I 
competed against him in the obedience ring, and got my usual mediocre 
scores, he never denigrated me for it, just congratulated me and always 
treated me with respect.

I guess we all see things differently, mostly based on our own personal 
history.  I am amazed at how many people were surprised that Paul Root voted 
to admit Hunte.  He was the only person I knew must have voted yes, when the 
story first broke.  The Paul I know is tenaciously, blindly passionate about 
destroying PETA and their ilk; I would have been disappointed in him (and we 
do NOT agree on his way of destroying PETA) if he had not gone for the gold, 
as he perceived it.

I don't think Hunte is the answer to Raleef's goals; I believe that others 
with a strong economic interest in companion animals are: PetsMart, Petco, 
Merial, Purina, Dodge, etc.  The pet industry in America is a multi-BILLION 
dollar industry.  These companies, and their shareholders, do NOT want the 
Aristas to win any more than we do, probably more.

Great  Plan! I particularly like you linking Hunte to the other person who I
won't name, other than the fact he somehow managed to judge at the  national
one time! I won't even type his initials.
