AMERICAN CANINE FOUNDATION LEGISLATIVE UPDATE MAY 2007

WILL WE BE ABLE TO SHOW AND BREED DOGS IN THE FUTURE ?

Breeding restrictions are being passed everywhere, "MANDATORY SPAY AND NEUTER" laws are surfacing all over.

Breed bans are being attempted all over the United States.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO STOP OUR RIGHTS FROM BEING TAKEN FROM US ?

Can we as Dog Fanciers win the fight against the animal rights campaign intended to stop canine ownership ? (YES)

Mandatory spay and neuter serves no legitimate governmental purpose, it does nothing to protect the public, it is unconstitutional and needs to be correctly litigated in court to stop it.

Why is it unconstitutional ? Neutering or spaying a canine will not reduce human aggression, when its mandated to the public animal control agencies end up seizing so many canines that shelter intake numbers increase over 100%, budgets to maintain attempted enforcement increase and tax payers money is wasted. Mandatory spay and neuter of your pet forces you to have a surgery performed on your pet that can cause serious medical problems in the future development of the canine. Forcing you to alter your pet with surgery is violating your rights and causes damage to your property without a rational basis. Mandatory spay and neuter is promoted by the animal rights movement to aid in ending domestic pet ownership. When governmental agencies enact mandatory breeding laws they target the Dog Fancy, the responsible breeders who obey the laws. The Dog Fancy is forced to obtain breeding permits with requirements that can't be complied with which in return stops purebred dog breeding. Irrational thinking is behind the mandatory spay and neuter campaign fueled by PETA/HSUS and other animal rights organizations.

In California at this time animal rights legislation is passing taking all breeding rights of Dog Fanciers away and placing it in the control of animal control agencies !!!! LA County passed mandated sterilization laws with breeding restrictions, Riverside County is proposing it, Kern County is proposing it, Sacramento and Orange County are being lobbied by AR Organizations. AB1634 was introduced this year to stop canine breeding.

From: ACF

The American Canine Foundation was founded in 2000 to protect the Dog Fancy’s rights to own canines. ACF is the only organization to successfully litigate constitutional challenges against breed bans

2001 ( ACF v Pontiac ) Case settled breed ban repealed.

2002 (Tack v Huntsville) Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court decision that no breed of canine is inherently dangerous

2004 (Margolius v Denver) ACF proved Denver can’t identify a breed of canine (Amstaffs / APBT’s )

2006 ( Tellings v Toledo ) BSL was ruled unconstitutional by the Sixth District Court of Appeals. The case is appeal and will be appealed to the US Supreme Court if needed

ACF has filed a federal lawsuit against the State of California and Los Angeles County to challenge mandatory spay and neuter laws with breeding permits that require turning all registration papers over to animal control who then can either approve or deny your right to breed your canines. (ACF v Ben Sun, Los Angeles Co, San Francisco) Northern District Federal Court.

At this time AKC Kennel Clubs are being forced to turn over their data to LA County AC and must provide their member data bases.

The American Rottweiler Club, the Shorline Kennel Club, the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles, the Western Rottweiler Owners, the Lake Matthews Kennel Club, the ADBA and countless Dog Fanciers from California and other states have donated substantial amounts to fund ACF’s California lawsuit.

ACF AGENDAS 2006 / 2007

In August 2006 ACF through their Colorado attorney filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Aurora citing several constitutional rights violations. The Commerce Clause is being argued regarding the 10 AKC breeds and anything that looks like them that Aurora banned. Plaintiff's in the case are ACF, Tina Villani and Florence Viazon. Experts used will be Dr Brisbin PhD, Dr Milani DVM, Dr Al Stinson DVM Professor of Veterinarian Medicene, Jim Crosby, Jan Cooper, Glen Bui and Dr Estep PhD.

ACF is filing a federal lawsuit in the State of Washington, King County passed a mandatory spay and neuter law several years ago, its failed and cost tax payers wasted money.

ACF is filing a state level lawsuit against LA County in the Los Angeles County Superior Court asking for a temporary restraining order. LA County has been enforcing their mandatory spay and neuter law and has targeted an ACF member in LA County who will be named as a Plaintiff on the case. The case will be filed before April 2007 with a Plaintiff who owns an AKC registered Poodle.

ACF has pending a constitutional challenge in Ohio where the Sixth District Court of Appeals ruled BSL violates equal protection, substantive due process, procedural due process and the vague doctrine along with the right to be heard. The case is in appeal and ACF is prepared to take the case to the United States Supreme Court to stop BSL.

You may think that your breed of dog is exempt from animal rights legislation in your city, and everything is just fine? If you do you would be closing your eyes to the real problems of today. Laws are being passed by the animal rights agenda to change owner to guardian , ban breeds of dogs, restrict breeding and end domestic dog ownership in our country every year.
