Message: 4 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 10:23:14 -0700 From: "Cherie Graves" <paragon@xxxxxxxx> Subject: AKC Clubs Opposed to PAWS CROSSPOSTED FROM PET-LAW The number of parent breed clubs that have verified their opposition to PAWS with a letter to Congress has been stuck at 28 for a while. These clubs represent 57.3% of all AKC registrations. See PAWS opponents http://saova.org/1139opponents.html If the following clubs verified their PAWS positions that same way, we would be able to show the Senate and the media 44 clubs representing 69.8% of all AKC registrations oppose this ill-conceived and devastating bill. Poodle Club of America Miniature Pinscher Club of America Boston Terrier Club of America American Maltese Association Doberman Pinscher Club of America Collie Club of America Staffordshire Terrier Club of America Field Spaniel Society of America Borzoi Club of America Silky Terrier Club of America American Chinese Crested Club American Belgian Tervuren Club Sussex Spaniel Club of America American Fox Terrier Club American Bouvier des Flandres Club American Manchester Terrier Club The National Beagle Club of America Board of Directors meets on November 11, 2005 and may take a PAWS vote. Should the beaglers oppose PAWS, the percentage opposed would jump to 74.4%, an astounding repudiation of PAWS. Over 320 clubs have already taken this KEY verification step and we need more to do so to effectively lobby against PAWS. Please spread the word far and wide. Contact Congress to oppose PAWS. That contact qualifies your club for inclusion on this important list. See NO PAWS http://www.nopaws.org for more information and helpful tips.
