If you can get media coverage, go for it. Present the rational viewpoint to the public.<BR/><BR/>Anon, the 'pet overpopulation' meme has been disproven many times.<BR/><BR/>It is not 'breeders' who are letting their dogs end up in care - it is unthinking people who get dogs without considering the commitment. They assume you just take him out of the box, wind him up and he becomes Rin Tin Tin, Lassie or Eddie. In other words, they believe in magic.<BR/><BR/>Blame a materialistic, disposable social attitude that doesn't preserve things, doesn't fix things, doesn't know the difference between the real deal and a knockoff. If it doesn't work, just throw it away and get a new one and make sure it's the cheapest you can find.<BR/><BR/>That's why most dogs in shelters are not puppies. They are usually 8 - 10-month-old large mixed-breed males or seniors needing veterinary care. And that's a fact.<BR/><BR/>I understand some BS is being spread about '25% of dogs in shelters being purebred'. Uh, no. They may look it to the novices at the shelters, but they are not purebred dogs with registrations, tattoos or chips going back to a recognized registry. <BR/><BR/>Actually, if I need a laugh I like to cruise shelter sites to see the wacky breed descriptions they attach to the inmates. Always hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35437039.post-91945929931981074352007-07-18T00:29:00.000-04:002007-07-18T00:29:00.000-04:00Add: CFoDCCalifornia Veterinarians Against AB1634Add: <BR/>CFoDC<BR/>California Veterinarians Against AB1634Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749536146989418883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35437039.post-33465151472596667502007-07-17T17:35:00.000-04:002007-07-17T17:35:00.000-04:00THIS WAS an ENORMOUS GRASS ROOTS EFFORT of pet and...THIS WAS an ENORMOUS GRASS ROOTS EFFORT of pet and non pet, registered and non registered dog owners combined! <BR/>You can add the following to that list of organizations fighting against this Draconian Bill.<BR/><BR/>COHA<BR/>UKCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35437039.post-71955467334757963532007-07-16T22:46:00.000-04:002007-07-16T22:46:00.000-04:00Who speaks for the pet owners?The orgaizations and...Who speaks for the pet owners?<BR/><BR/>The orgaizations and owners that are fighting this bill: <BR/><BR/>NAIA<BR/>PetPAC<BR/>CDOC<BR/>CFA<BR/>and even The AKC.<BR/><BR/>65% of anonymous Californians own pets, from the mutts to the alley cats and the purebreds.<BR/><BR/>America has awakened and is ready to preserve the our rights to decide when and if our pets will be sterilized in consultation with our vets. This is certainly not a government decision.<BR/><BR/>Incidently, there is no pet over population. The proponets figures are a gross exaggeration and that will be proved before this bill ever comes back to the senate.<BR/><BR/>George B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
