In case you weren't aware, we have an HSUS state lobbyist in
Tennessee now. So, if you breed or show dogs, this person is working
in Nashville to get to know your state officials and to put forth the
HSUS agenda. I know that probably makes you feel just great,
especially since they are anti-dog breeder.
It would be a great idea if all of you try to touch base with your
own state representatives and senators to make sure they know where
you stand on dog issues. Tell them that you are opposed to increased
breeder regulation and licensing. Tell them that you oppose things
like mandatory spaying/neutering and breed specific legislation.
Tell them that you're a responsible person who votes and you're a
good breeder. You are not the way that HSUS tries to portray you.
Whether you breed, show, have hunting dogs or you're involved with
dogs in any other way, the things that HSUS is doing in our state
will affect you. So please contact your representatives and let them
know how you feel about it.
