Several days ago I had a email forwarded to me from another show breeder. Apparently this email has been sent around to several other show breeders that are sharing it. Here is the email:

Subject: change of policy
Our policy of inviting potential new owners into our home
to see our puppies has been changed as a result
of the Animal Rights anti pet activity in our community.
Animal Rights is a movement led by PETA and the HSUS
subversively dedicated to the eradication of all domestic
animals, and particularly aimed at the most staunch
animal lovers in our society - dedicated and reputable
breeders of well bred, purebred dogs and cats. Because
of intimidation tactics, harassment, and outright
(and wholly illegal) raids on reputable breeders and law
abiding citizens by misguided disciples of these terrorist
affiliated groups, we have reluctantly found it necessary
to institute a policy of meeting with and interviewing potential
new owners at locations other than our homes, lest our homes
be made vulnerable to attack at a later date. We are very
sorry that our society has degenerated to the point that these
subversive groups have forced us to make this change.
We, of course, still stand behind our breeding program
one hundred percent, and are most ready to supply you with
references from our veterinarian, owners of pets from
previous litters, show judges who have evaluated our animals,
and the obvious superior health and condition of the animals
themselves. We thank you for your interest, for your love
of our chosen breed, and for your support for all those who
seek to protect and promote well bred, purebred dogs.

I left off the show breeders name but she is from California. Have any of you heard of PETA going to breeders homes and causing trouble. I guess if I lived in California or a populated area it could be more of a problem.
