Centex Kennel Club in Waco has organized opposition to Mandatory Pet
Spay/Neuter and the Intact Animal Permit that will be voted on next Tuesday.
They need your help. A "Protest Rally" is being held at 9:00 AM Saturday
morning in front of the Waco City Hall. They need a big turnout at the
Rally Saturday and for the vote by City Council next Tuesday. If you can
help, contact Tina

Hey everyone!
See what is going on in Waco. We are NOT going down without a FIGHT!!! Click
the weblink.
There's a lot more happening to fight this, such as a "call-in radio show to
discuss this issue coming up, hosted by us in the club." If you are
interested in what is happening and/or want to help out, please email me and
I will make sure you get the updates. Even though you may live out of town
and do not receive our radio program, you are still encouraged to call in to
the radio station during the program to voice an opposition to mandatory
spay neuter programs in our dogs. PETA people are behind all this. They had
their people at the previous council meeting and they spoke very harshly
against breeders and all that we do. They lumped us all in together with
"irresponsible puppy mill breeders".
The city council has been working with the shelter and PETA for months
preparing all this without any of us knowing about it. They had intended to
"pass this ordinance" secretly and without opposition. I found out what was
going on 45 minutes prior to the first meeting of the council on the
subject. I called everyone I knew and 3 of us were there for the first
meeting at 3 pm. The vote was to be at 6 pm. By that time we had recruited
10 people to talk in opposition; but due to no notice, none of us were
prepared (or dressed appropriately); but we all issued a "passionate plea".
However, we have been working endlessly for the past two weeks, and we are
amazed at the help we are receiving to fight this. This time we will be
armed with TONS of facts and statistics to counter their arguments! We may
not win; but we won't go down without a fight! And I really don't think any
of them are expecting all this. Pray for us. Root for us.
Spread the word. And please help us in any way you can.
Ways you can help:
Send emails and letters to the councilmen and mayor.
Call into the radio program with your objections and examples of what "has
not worked in the city where you live".
Those that are able to do so, come attend the meeting and testify at the
meeting of what does not work where you are from, etc.
Anything else you can think of would be greatly appreciated!
We are optimistic . . . We CAN DO THIS!!
Thanks a lot!
