This topic was discussed on Pet-Law list and it is amazing how people have had to change their lives because of the Animal Rights Idiots who wish to take our rights to own and breed animals away from us. Here’s a sample.
We never leave town together. One of us is always home. And we have a list of instructions on our refrigerator to remind us what to do if someone comes knocking.
We don’t hire dogsitters anymore.
We don’t discuss future show plans with anyone but other exhibitors who might help us make points.
We don’t use Petco rewards cards anymore; or any other rewards cards for dog food purchases. Big Brother does not need to know how much dog food we buy.
When the cashier asks us for our zip code, we give the zip of a neighboring town. Big Brother doesn’t need to know where my dog food is going.
When we have to have a service person come to our home (gas & electric, etc) we shut the dogs in the kennel building (even though they are house dogs). We don’t know if they are AR-friendly, and we certainly don’t want to find out the hard way.
We don’t invite prospective buyers into our homes anymore. We used to. Now we only do if they are well-referenced and have been referred to us by someone we know, and someone who really knows them.
Unfortunately, this is what the AR’s want. They want to stop us from engaging in our passions and hobbies. And they are winning.
And we aren’t even doing anything wrong.
