The board tends to vote to stay out of trouble. They do not want to defend themselves against a law suite. We as a club do not want to do something that will cause a legal action against the club. The rules for membership where changed and now we have to play by those rules. If the club were challenged over this membership they would loose they would be sued and Hunte would win. Our insurance would be in jeopardy. How many events do you think the Parent club could host without insurance. ZERO . So if Puppy Millers is your cause get out there and protest the pet shops, hand out flyer's stating the cause. PETA has someone out every weekend, that is why they continue to grow. You show me a puppy mill that I can photograph legally and I will come do it for you and give you the pictures. I only fight the battles that I have a half a chance of winning Terry Susan Madlung <stormygsd@xxxxxxx> wrote: Terry, isn't that a lot like talking out of both sides of your mouth?? On one hand trying to stop puppy mills but on the other having one of the biggest puppy millers in the country as a club member?? to the public, you , as a GSCA member represent the club.. you now also represent this man and his actions.. is THAT what you want?

You know what we need to do is to network with each other. Every puppy mill horror story needs to be made public on regional club websites. People need to know the difference between puppy milling and responsible breeding practices. They need to know that puppy brokers add to the puppy milling problem buy buying their pups. > >I don't think that we will have much help from the Parent Club on this. > >Congrats to the Review staff for putting the Review in the black Good Going!!! >Terry >Peggy wrote: >Thanks for the update, Helen. >In the midst of all this, and my own dismay that Hunte was going >to get in (it was sort of a foregone conclusion, wasn't it?), I can't >help but wonder... TERRY: PERSONALLY, IN MY OWN OPINION, YOUR ARGUMENT REMINDS ME OF THE MAFIA... YOU PAY THEM PROTECTION TO KEEP THEM FROM KILLING YOU, OR DESTROYING YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS. ( OR SUING YOU!!! ) SO ONE KEEPS THEIR MOUTH SHUT AND GOES ON AND STAYS SILENT... WE TRIED TO 'WORK FROM WITHIN' AND WHAT DID THAT ACCOMPLISH??? ALL OF US WHO PROTESTED, ' ALL GOT SCREWED..BUT NOT SUED..' THAT'S THE PRICE WE PAY?? WHAT'S NEXT???
