I post bills for information too all dog owners and all hunters.

I'm apposed to all puppy mills even the back yard crosses of unproven dogs.

But when a bill effect any dog owner or hunter I feel we should join together to help any way we can to stop the bill because in the future the rules can be changed and #'s can be lowered.

Did any one read who will be on the board enforcing this law, if it becomes one??

      Sec. 802.101.  ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP. The Dog and 
   Cat Breeders Advisory Committee consists of seven members appointed 
   by the presiding officer of the commission with the approval of the 
   commission as follows:
                (1)  two members who represent the public;
                (2)  one member who represents the interests of 
   commercial breeders;
                (3)  one member who is a licensed veterinarian whose 
   primary practice consists of the treatment of dogs and cats;
                (4)  one member who represents the American Kennel 
   Club;
                (5)  one member who represents a humane society or an 
   association of humane societies; and
                (6)  one member who represents the interests of animal 
   control authorities in this state.

Any time any in involved with, one member who represents a humane society or an 
   association of humane societies;  Peta gets a foot in the door I feel it'll be bad.
this will be trouble for the hunter that has dogs.

I know we can't always agree but we should discuss and still stand together as a united front, as dow owners and hunters.
