Updated OPPOSITION LIST TO APHIS PROPOSED PET REGULATION


The clubs and organizations continue to line up in opposition to the APHIS proposed rule changes that would require small hobby breeders to be regulated the same way as large commercial breeders. These groups represent tens of thousands of dedicated animal breeders, people who have devoted their lives to breeding good dogs, cats, rabbits, and other pets. You only have a week left to make a comment on the APHIS site and tell them that you oppose this proposed change.


OPPOSITION LIST TO APHIS PROPOSED PET REGULATION


Urge Congress to take action to help American pet breeders stop APHIS from regulating us out of existence. To add your organization's name to the SAOVA Opposition List send an email signed by an officer of the organization to: Susan Wolf cubhill@earthlink.net. Please include organization's address.
