 Letters
To The Editor
Like all Bullies,
DoodleDog's nose is permanently bent out of shape so keep your letter
succinct or he'll bury it! He
selects only the best and most original letters, and he likes them
signed but if he knows you, and you ask real nice, he's trained to withhold your
name.

Response to Gina; It’s almost impossible to discuss this
subject with someone who dismisses the Bill of Rights as “abstract.” In
America, so far, we consider human rights inviolable. We tolerate many
unpleasant things in our society in order to protect the rights you
dismiss so casually as “abstract.” We ask our young sons to fight and
die to preserve those rights, so I have to say that they are more
important than the lives of individual dogs. We can punish criminal
abuse and neglect of dogs without giving up our God-given rights.

Response to Gina; I would like to know what an apparently AR
person is doing visiting a site dedicated to exhibiting and breeding
dogs? It is obvious that Gina is a closet animal rights person who
does not know at all what she is talking about. I know many people
that are dedicated to helping animals and have a deep concern for
dogs. Obviously Gina has been brainwashed by HSUS into thinking
that all breeders and exhibitors are bad people and only in it for
their ego. She wishes we would all collect art? Well I wish Gina
and people like her would stay out of MY business because it is
people like her who are supporting all the dog legislation that is
being passed. Janet/Akiba janet@akibaaussies.com |
Dog just objects:
It is so sad to see the dog fancy continue to consistently focus on
abstract human rights with hysteria and continue to make it clear
that its members really don't care about dogs at all. To all of you,
dogs are just objects to manufacture, collect and display -
extensions of the personal ego. There is no more concern for their
welfare than for that of a nice car or table. If something happens
to "it" - the problem is the loss to the human, not the suffering or
death of the dog. No wonder more and more people are turning to dog
rescue and adoption. It can't happen fast enough.
Reading about your attacks on AKC Judge Ted Paul was depressing, but
no more so than watching the behavior of the "fancy" for over 20
years. The fancy has not only refused to participate in trying to
solve any dog welfare problem in society - no matter how large or
small - but has opposed every attempt to help reduce the suffering
of dogs anywhere in the nation. I wish you all collected art. Gini

Response to Pam: Shelter population issues tend to be local. In
Michigan, for example, we have a state law that requires all shelters to
report intake and disposition. Those figures show a steady decline of
dogs being euthanized each year. Shelters in New England and in some
western states are importing dogs from third world nations because their
domestic intake has declined precipitously. Without sad little canine
faces behind bars, conflict-based fund raising organizations like HSUS,
SPCA, AHA and others have a harder time raising money. Here’s a figure
for you—more than 70% of all female dogs in America are already spayed.
If dogs were wild animals, they’d be an endangered species.

Response to Pam:
Pam, I can only assume you aren't familiar with the
real reason why shelters
are overcrowded--it's almost always
a case of shelter mismanagement, and
not a true pet overpopulation problem. In fact, many, many
shelters around the US are actually
importing dogs from other states and even Puerto Rico and
overseas (!) to meet adoption requests. You might want to read Nathan
Winograd's "Redemption," or Google his findings (all fact-based, and not
driven by hysteria or conjecture) for more information.

Shelter and Animal Rights: When's the last
time you went to a shelter? If you don't believe they are full, then
you are clueless. You are part of the problem! DISGUSTING!

Judge Takes Exception: As the head
of ASSA Sheltie Rescue (parent club) I take GREAT exception to your
lumping breed rescues in with HSUS and PETA. Our people are well aware
of what HSUS and PETA are all about and we are aware that some shelters
import dogs from other countries to satisfy the public demand for small
and cute rather than big and black (lab type). you talk about these
organizations smearing breeders yet you see nothing wrong with smearing
the many purebred rescues in this country, many of them affiliated with
AKC parent clubs. I doubt I will get a reply but had to vent. You just
lost my respect. - Dorothy Christiansen, Founder/Coordinator ASSA
Sheltie Rescue Network judge #4808
Editor: If there is any statement in
the article that is untrue, please
help by pointing it out. Otherwise, we ask that you take a deep breath
and read it again. It is a condemnation of HSUS and PETA,
not what YOU do. It was written to inform the public; to expose the
fraudulent representations by animal rightists and the unfair picture of
dog breeders painted by “commercial” shelters and rescues. I’m sorry you
took this personally but surely you do know there are countless corrupt shelters
and individually operated “breed rescues” that are operated for profit. If we stay in denial,
how will the public know there’s a difference? |
