The Dog Press Headlines
August 4, 2005 Special Edition - Only PAWS
PAWS & Laws; Registry's Position Statements, AKC Campaign Trips, Chairman's Report, what does it mean to YOU?
Most of us brush off things we don't want to deal with. Human nature. We believe what we want to believe. Sometimes we even believe cable news! But please, If you think you already know about PAWS, or like me, you took a quick read and it sounded okay, you are in for an unpleasant surprise.
PAWS only affects YOU. Not the already regulated commercial breeders and puppy mills! Do you co-breed? Take donations for rescue? Do you care if AKC and federal agencies look at your checking account, your "sales" records?
Did you know about the NY Times ad campaign for PAWS? That the AKC President/CEO is on the campaign trail with Senator Santorum? Read the law the way other registry's Legal and Legislative experts read it. You don't have to read between the lines, you just have to read the ACT itself, not what HSUS, DDAL and AKC say it says! PAWS is the most threatening legislation ever to confront pet owners and hobby breeders. No, it isn't sensationalism, this is for real, it is here. If PAWS passes, it is the end of the fancy as we know it.
I subscribe to The Dog Press, there is a lot of good info. here. another link to investigate Paws is : http://www.thedogplace.com/library/P...and_Issues.htm Just thought this might interest a few YT members. I find The Dog Press very informative. But I just want to share this with you.
