I talked to my local humane society today. HSUS is out to gather information. Under the FOIA, they requested all names and addresses of anyone in our county that owns a kennel. They also wanted to know exactly how many dogs were there. Our director had to send them the info but said that they would have to call to see how many dogs are there. No differentiation between commercial (such as a boarding kennel, which I have) or private (which I also have but we aren't talking about that). My husband has been instructed if anyone shows up at our gate that is not picking up or recieving a dog or is known to him as is our director or animal control officers, to not let them in and to answer no questions put to him, to tell them to leave a phone number and I'll call them.
Just a heads up for you all. I am going and changing my "breeder info" on all the clubs I currently belong to. This is sheer madness....

Just got this in my email. I assume if they are doint it here, they could be doing it elsewhere. We all know PETA and the H$U$ are radical groups known to harass breeders and trying to bust the average breeder or boarder as a "puppy mill" and have their animals taken away. They also have been known to flat out lie to get warrants and by the time the owners are cleared in a court of law, their dogs have been euthanized, adopted out, sterilized and/or spent months in cages going insane while waiting for judgements to be handed down. Be careful!
