<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">FILING OF FEDERAL INJUNCTION EFFORT AGAINST APHIS RULE<br><br><br> PLEASE CROSSPOST!<br><br><br><br> Keep Our Domestic Animals<br><a href="http://www.keepourdomesticanimals.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://www.</font><font color="#0066cc">keepourdomesticanimals.com/</font></a><br>
<br> Because of years of experience in fighting bad legislation instigated by<br> animal rights (AR) groups such as the Humane Society of the United States<br> (HSUS), the ADCNYS does not feel comfortable with a "wait and see" strategy<br>
regarding APHIS intent to implement this rule. ADCNYS does not trust the<br> influence of former employees of the HSUS working within this agency to be<br> "fair" with regards to selected breeder/seller targets.<br>
<br> It is felt that a "legal" opposition to this Rule is the best strategy for<br> all clubs, organizations, businesses and individual breeders/owners at this<br> point. The fact that improper PROCEDURE was followed by APHIS to pass this<br>
rule has the best chance of stopping its implementation by legal injunction.<br> ADCNYS has pledged the first $1000 toward the effort to be named as<br> plaintiff in the filing of a federal injunction against the recently-passed<br>
APHIS rule. Other clubs, organizations, and individual breeders are<br> following suit. NOTE: Organizations only will be named as plaintiffs, and<br> are urged to pledge both name and monetary support; while donations from<br>
individuals are badly needed as well, their donations can be earmarked<br> either in the name of a club or organization, or to a general injunction<br> fund. Should the required $10K for filing not be met by <span tabindex="0"><span>Nov 14, 2013</span></span>, each<br>
donor will receive a refund of their money, minus attorney's out of pocket<br> fee (receipts substantiated), if necessary.NOTE: Legal fees by lead<br> attorney are pro-bono; retainer is for DC attorney that will file the suit.<br>
<br><br> DONATIONS TO SUPPORT FILING OF FEDERAL INJUNCTION EFFORT AGAINST APHIS RULE<br><br><br> Please send all supporting donations by check to the following, earmark for<br> APHIS INJUNCTION EFFORT:<br><br><br><br> Jeannette O'Hanlon, ADCNYS Treasurer<br>
