please except my apology

[concerned for our future]

Hello

I'm sorry if offend anyone yesterday. It was exciting to say the least, I really enjoyed be able to express my concerns for our breeds future.

It is not my goal to make enemies among fellow breeders or breed lovers. Maybe it’s the age I'm at when I've seen so much despair and control that it really starts to get to me.

I have a wide variety of friends with various breed types. We talk we share ideas and express future concerns. It upset me a little when I was approached and asked what fellow breeders felt about this particular ban on docking.
I had to admit that we really were not worried about the ban that it did not really affect us most of us already know how to dock and due dock on our own.

This point was brought to me, "that's all fine and dandy for you. But do you think for one minute the ban will stop at the vets. HAD TO THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE. The obvious answer was no.

It was then explained to me that the vets association was being hit hard by various animal activist. These being the reason why dock and dew claw removal are considered cosmetic practices.
These are the same groups that took my friends pit bulls away. And for what bite prevention. The results were just in Toronto, the bit bull ban has done nothing but extinct a breed. Bites have not resided after ban of pit bull. Another example of how animal activist have been able to remove breeders rights. I never signed their petition because it did not affect me.

We as breeders are going to be easy targets. Today no tail docking tomorrow no breeding.

So please except my apology, I only have best interests at heart. Everyone should have a choice to have a docked or undocked pet. Just like everyone should have the right to dock or not to dock.
If we chose to dock than I would like to think that it’s being done with the utmost intentions of animal welfare in mind.
Thanks for your time
Jean
This is why I thought others maybe interested in this petition as well as other information.
