Project: PAWS 2005

More Clubs, Judges, and Delegates are gathering up their courage and common sense every day.  There are already close to 900 pages of reliable, factual information and more being added every week.  No-PAWS and Pro-PAWS articles and PollingPlace returns, updated weekly. There is only OnePlace to get the whole picture - TheDogPlace!

Project: Bad Medicine 2000
We first demanded prescription inserts to prevent deadly reactions.  Then reports began to flood in; leading the wave, Revolution, Rimadyl and heartworm preventatives, but soon followed by a long list of prescription drugs, both human and veterinary, with seriously dangerous side effects.  It is totally up to you to protect your pets - and yourself!  No one else will, least of all the drug companies.  Read and learn....

PETA has begun a campaign to scare children into becoming vegetarians.  The group.. is producing comic books that portray fathers as homicidal maniacs.  The handout, titled "Your Daddy Kills Animals," features a grinning lunatic gutting a fish, and warns kids to keep their puppies and kittens away from Dad because he's "hooked on killing."  "... This is what PETA does — it paints caricatures of ordinary people to try to convince the rest of us that we shouldn't want to emulate them," said David Martosko, Center for Consumer Freedom.  But PETA insists that its comic is not outlandish…..

Project: Vaccines 2001
A personal crusade by Andrews began in 1981, supported by Dr. Erbeck, eventually acknowledged in 2002 by the BVA.  It began with Parvo, led to rabies vaccine, and the expose' of unnecessary risks for needless vaccines, as finally admitted by the AMVA in 2004.  By 2005, a class action lawsuit was filed by Bob Rogers, DVM.  Results?  You betcha!  But this project is far from over.  Childhood vaccines now exposed...

Virginia Mandatory Spay/Neuter Bill - Proposed Jan 2006, state-wide, no exceptions for show or breeding animals.  AKC publicizing but question is; will AKC fight this "tooth and nail" as it has so vigorously fought the No-PAWS groups?

Project: KATRINA 2005
Your response has been tremendous.  Contacts, where to donate, who is doing what.  TheDogPress Exclusive Interviews "AKC On-Scene" and a real "God-send" is just the beginning.  This is not going to end tomorrow, the dogs left stranded are all dead, even the cats have succumbed to starvation and disease.  Some hoofed animals were able to get to city parks and grass but according to the CDC, they will begin dying from the contaminated water as September draws to a sad close.  On-the-scene reports and updates, Needs & Wants notices, and now - RITA!!!
