CFA's Letter to AKC re;
PAWS
Monday,
June 13th, 2005 is a critical time - the AKC Board of Directors will meet with their
Delegates in Chicago to hear a presentation explaining the reasons why AKC is
supporting the Pet Animal Welfare Statute, PAWS bill. Dog fanciers are working
hard to reach all Board members to persuade them to not support federal
licensing and inspection of breeders selling at retail.
This bill gives the Doris Day Animal League
everything they were unable to achieve through the courts in 2003. If you know
dog fanciers who can reach either Board members or member club delegates please
ask them to urge AKC to withdraw their support for this bill. Calls and emails
to the Board from dog fanciers are important now. An updated contact list
is below.

Editor's note: the Letter AND CFA's Postion Statement have been
"permanently removed" no reason stated. We considered removing
this page from TheDogPlace but instead, we apologize to readers and
leave it as a reminder of how and why memory is short :) We
will leave the contact info and names below as a reminder of who was
on the board during the PAWS Battle. See links below for The
International Cat Assoc. (TICA) position.

Your voice may have helped persuade Dr. Battaglia, Patti
Strand, Ken Marden and Tom Davies to OPPOSE the PAWS Bill. They need our
support to stand fast on their position. CFA has given us a valuable tool.
It takes only a minute to compose an email, copy and drop each of the email
addresses below into it. For or Against, let AKC know how YOU feel about
PAWS. AKC has joined two of the most prominent anti-breeder legislative
forces in the U.S. You will remember our fight to defeat the legislation
pushed by the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) and the Humane Society Of The U.S.
