Title: USDA/APHIS Rulemaking Post - Comment period begins
Post by: SusanW on May 17, 2012, 05:55:03 pm
Although dogs sold for hunting are not affected by this rule, almost anyone else could be.   Comment period begins now and ends July 16


Visit http://saovanews.blogspot.com/ for the links.  Please read the transcript of the teleconference held by APHIS as the announced the proposed rule.

This is a proposed rule by an agency, not a law Congress will vote on. The comment period is only for 60 days and APHIS needs to hear how this affects you.

APHIS cannot make a realistic analysis without understanding the dynamics of conflict with existing state/local ordinances and potential impact to small scale breeders that will be created by revising the current exemption.
