I certainly hope it changes things in TX. We are long overdue. I had received some of the emails from people fighting it and I did not understand their concerns either. |
I was interpreting it differently because of the 'and' in the sentence below.
"Dog or cat breeder" means a person who possesses
11 or more adult intact female animals and is engaged in the
business of breeding those animals for direct or indirect sale or
for exchange in return for consideration
and who sells or
exchanges, or offers to sell or exchange, not fewer than 20 animals
in a calendar year.
I can see why show exhibitors would be a bit upset. I don't see why they would exempt those that show in field trials and not those that show in conformation.
