In Regards to Pet Breeders and Owners
We want to educate the public in how to get involved in current legislation. Certain organizations are lobbying away your rights to own a pet, or animal(s) of any kind. Only you have the power to stop your rights from being taken away from you.
We, as responsible breeders and owners ourselves, understand the need to expose and correct substandard conditions in the Pet Industry. We too empathize with the images across the TV screen of a neglected or abused animal, and want to help improve the breeding industry so that there are no more substandard breeders (puppy mills - not our words but the words of HSUS), and we want to do this by encouraging efforts to improve conditions with substandard breeding practices in a realistic approach.
The word “puppy mill” is a slang term used by animal rights activists against anyone who breeds dogs no matter how clean the facility or healthy the dogs. It is derogatory, highly offensive.
We want to help the public become aware of the donations they give for this, and how they are used. There are many large organizations asking for your hard earned dollars. Many people are not aware that they are able to donate directly to their local pet shelter, or local Humane Society, which truly need those dollars.
Is It Freedom of the Press, or Is It Really Trespassing
We hear it so often-animal rights groups institute an animal seizure based on “their opinion” that the animals are being neglected or cruelly treated. Along with the ensuing seizure, area media outlets are invited to film the action, which you can be certain will be used as evidence, primarily in the court of public opinion, but possibly in a court of law.
Alpha Tex Kennels Wins Case!
“The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.” Louis D. Brandeis
On Friday, January 20, 2012, a jury in the 181st District Court, in Canyon, Texas with Judge John Board presiding, found that no animal cruelty was found in the controversial Alpha Tex Kennels case. After hearing four days of testimony, the jury took just less than an hour to reach its not guilty verdict.
USDA Internet Mining
Just how much is Big Brother watching over you? Probably much more than you are aware of. If you are a pet breeder, large or small (for commercial sale), or are in the horse business for shows, sales, exhibitions or auctions, you are about to be monitored even further.
Facebook and the ASPCA join forces
To the powers that be at Facebook:
I think your action to bow down to the ASPCA, a known animal rights group, to ban any forum on puppy sales is an unjustified act. To label all pet breeders as "puppy mills" is deplorable. Have you actually done your research on this, or are you merely taking the ASPCA's word?
Socialist Farm Production in America?
How many of you remember working the family farm? If President Obama had gotten his way, that tradition may have come to an abrupt end.
