Micheline Hellwege :
re: PAWS -- S-1139 -- HR 2669.
I urge you, Please do not support this bill.
This legislation introduced by Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) called
"Pet Animal Welfare Statute" of 2005 will put undue restrictions
on hobby breeders such as myself. This is just the first step in the
Animal Rights movement to severely restrict and eventually eliminate our
rights to pet ownership.
On the surface, this bill sounds reasonable. However, when you factor in
co-ownerships(common practice), small litters (2-3 pups per litter) or 3
large litters (11-13 pups per litter) you will see that even the most
responsible, occasional breeder can fall under this regulatory control.
This bill is a huge victory for PETA, HSUS and other such fanatical groups.
Also, this bill will do nothing to curb the abuses of puppy mills but
instead will give them greater economic incentive by severly restricting
the law-abiding, responsible breeder's ability to supply good quality,
healthy puppies to the public.
This bill is a huge victory for PETA, HSUS and other such fanatical
groups. Again I urge you, Please do not support this bill.

As a responsible breeder and dog show supporter I do not feel this bill is
in the best interest of dogs or dog people. |

As proposed, this bill will have a needlessly adverse effect on responsible
toy dog & cat breeders + will not have the desired effect on irresponsible
breeders of both species. Please do NOT pass this bill! Thank you! |

There are many laws on the boks that are not enforceable on the exact
people they are for. The only laws that work are the ones we have for
ourselves. Ethics. |

considering supporting this. I know many toy breeders that this would
affect badly. |

better the breed. Please do not pass this bill. This is exactly the type
of regulation PETA wants. |

David K. Calderwood :
This bill will have an eventual negative affect upon AKC registrations as
well as upon many breeders.
Also, most areas only allow commercial businesses in appropriate zoning.
Being considered "commercial" by the USDA will force many
successful show breeders to move to a commercially zoned area, at great
expense -- which is in line with the animal rights agenda of making it more
and more expensive to own animals.

Erroneous animal rights being the concern..what about the rights of the
American people...the voters, who will not forget the passing of such
"rights" violation bills come election time!! This reaks of the
fanatic PETA folks who revert to violent extreme methods to get their point
across..even terroristic attacks on peoples lives! |

It is easy to forget that the USDA's primary concern is our FOOD!
'agri-terrorists' and BSE as well as other diseases and threats to
our safety must take precidence. Homeland security extends to our dinner
tables as well.
We do not need our tax dollars funding the 'puppy police'. |

As a concerned citizen and voter, Please Do Not Pass This Bill. It will
only hurt the quality of purebred dogs, because Puppy Millers will go
underground and find a way around the law.
It will also hurt those who rescue the unwanted stray ones and make life
better for them.

Debbie Johnson :
The serious breeders of pure bred dogs in this country are the very future
of each breed's survival. These hobby breeders are the backbone of the
breed, and it is their passion and unwavering dedication that keeps their
breed's
standard onsistant over the years. It is for the sake of purebred dogs
that I urge you support the AWA as it was previously written. |
