Animal Rights groups are pushing our legislators now more than ever to further their cause of total animal liberation. These groups are, state by state, targeting breeders through the State Legislature to impose restrictive laws on breeders. Their goal is to force breeders out of business. Animal rights groups such as: People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Humane Society of the United States (HSUS, not to be confused with local animal shelters), Animal Liberation Front (ALF), and Animal Protection Institute of America use misleading and often false statements regarding domestic animal breeding and ownership. The AKC offers information on which states are currently being targeted by these groups. If you will take the time to visit , www.akc.org, you will see "Legislative Alerts" on their page. If your state is listed, please take the time to carefully read the proposed legislation, then call your Legislator and tell them that you do not support laws that infringe on your rights of pet ownership.
All pet owners need to stick together to protect our rights to own pets and to buy those pets from a quality breeder. Please remember, there is a a difference between animal welfare and animal rights.
