HSUS is trolling parent club websites -
Subject: Code of Ethics
From: "Beau Archer"
Greetings,
I came upon your website today and in
reading through your Code of Ethics, I was thrilled to see that they are
very much in line with our consumer outreach efforts at The Humane
Society of the United States (HSUS).
The HSUS proudly supports responsible dog breeders, and in a variety of
ways. We publish several guides for the public to help them find and
identify a good dog breeder, including our Puppy Buyer's Guide and our
Good Breeder Checklist. These are available for free on our website or
by mail. You can see the Puppy Buyer's Guide at
www.humanesociety.org/goodbreeder and download our Good Breeder
Checklist at www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/Good_breeder.pdf.
We are also in the process of forming a Breeder's Advisory Council. With
this group, we will promote responsible breeding, fight pet
overpopulation and puppy mills, and guide people who want to acquire an
animal from a breeder to do it the right way. If more and more breeders
begin to come forward to say "I am against puppy mills," and say it
loudly and proudly, we have an even greater chance at helping the
animals in the facilities providing substandard care.
I also want to let you know that we have recently launched our Emergency
Services Placement Partners program. This program enables us to contact
pre-approved groups to take in animals when we are on-site during a
disaster (natural or man-made). If the breed club rescue is interested
in applying to this program, please let me know and I will send you (or
whomever) the materials.
If you would like to know more about our work with breeders, or anything
else, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would be delighted to
stay in touch with you.
Respectfully,
Beau
