Please do some research into the motives of the HSUS. Talk to the AKC who is a non profit organization devoted to canine health, breeding and responsible dog ownership. Look closely into the anti-dog legislation sweeping the country. As a citizen who enjoys the sport of dog showing please don't let the Animal Rights people take away my rights. We don't need more laws on our books dictating when we spay or neuter our pets. Our cities can't enforce the laws on our books now. If you add more laws and take away our rights our communities will definitely suffer. Thousands of dollars are spent on our pets and towns benefit from the people who go to dog shows and spend money. Look into the real agenda of the HSUS and PETA. I think you'll be horrified.
