U.S. Canine Registries (USCR) Make History
NEWS RELEASE - Inaugural Meeting
of United States Canine
Registries
Purpose: U.S. Dog Registries gather for
exploratory meeting to consider a coalition to combat anti-dog laws and
animal rights extremism
Kalamazoo, Michigan, October 19, 2006 – With
the future of dog ownership in America potentially hanging in the
balance, dog registries from across the country met last week for
what is being called a "historic and successful meeting" to voice
the concerns of millions of dog owners and develop a response to the
rise in anti-dog legislation and animal rights extremism.
Meeting under the flag of the United States Canine Registries (USCR),
several U.S. based dog registries, collectively representing more
than 300 breeds of dogs and over a million dog owners, came together
for an historic first step to develop cooperative initiatives to
address common goals, as well as develop efficiencies of scale to
support and strengthen the role of dogs and responsible ownership in
traditional and contemporary lifestyles.
During the landmark two day conference, attendees discussed
issues such as anti-dog legislation, radical animal rights
ideologies and the disturbing increase in extremist philosophies
toward animal ownership found in America's current legislative
environment.
The inaugural conference
of the United States Canine Registries resulted in the
identification of common goals among the varied member registries
and also yielded consensus that there exists a need for further
development of the association. Organizational meetings will convene
in the coming months, with two national assembles of the United
States Canine Registries scheduled for February and July of 2007.
The initiatives resulting from the inaugural meeting of the United
States Canine Registries (USCR) promote the interests of the
estimated 68 million current dog owners in the United States and
will benefit canine well-being for generations to come.
