If that is true, I can only wonder why reason and common sense seem to have eluded them. It is as plain as can be that no one wants this man in our club except possibly a very few people who may think there is something to gain personally from associating with him. It has to be personal gain, because it is certain that the GSDCA will only be harmed by allowing this membership to remain in effect. There is no reason why Hunte's membership should have been approved in the first place...threats of law suits, implied or in fact, and insurance liabilities have all been blown away. Using the by-laws as an excuse holds no water, either...the man stands for everything that is anathema to the dog fancy. Such a sad state of affairs - however, an issue like this should be voted on by the ENTIRE board if there is a revote - even if the Yes voters won't change - there is still one member who didn't vote and the President who could only vote if there were a tie - sooooo, maybe they would be the No votes needed? The situation need to be addressed and remedied - as Peggy has contact with many more of the other breed clubs than a lot of us do - she knows how others out there feel about our club.
