When PETA and HSUS were pushing the House Bill through the Texas legislature, that limits breeding females to 10 dogs, or you need a commercial license, they were overheard saying "if we can get this one through, next year we will come back and get the total number of dogs down to 3!". That is EXACTLY what they are doing....they are effectively putting ALL breeders out of business, under the guise of "animal rights"....they are not really concerned about the issue of "animal WELFARE"...they are strictly trying to get ALL breeding of animals illegal, and they have started with dogs and cats, a little at a time...and next on the agenda, will be farm animals that are raised for food...hogs, chickens, cattle, etc. This is cause for concern for everyone, NOT just breeders. The government and PETA and HSUS are aiming for the day, and it wont be off in the too distant future, where no one will even be allowed to own an animal as a pet, or raise animals for food. I know it sounds absolutely crazy, but it is coming.....I have fought this legislation tooth and nail, for at least the last 6 years...it is now snowballing for rapid pushing through government legislation, while attention is diverted to so many other areas, they are going to slide this in under the radar, while no one is looking.....what is the link to protest this Gail....these activists must be stopped. There is a distinct difference between "animal welfare" and "animal rights"....

This is a new federal regulation purported to address the issue of "internet" selling of puppies.
Please read this for yourself. It will apply to you if you sell even *one dog*, without the buyer personally coming to your home to see the puppy.
It will also apply to Rescue Organizations. If anyone needs a link on where to comment on this proposed new regulation I can supply one.
All breed clubs should be already aware of this; if not make sure your breed club is! |
