Subject: PPA Removed from Farm Bill

The following is from the AKC site -

"Puppy Protection Act Dropped
April 27, 2002
The American Kennel Club is pleased to report that the House-Senate Farm
Bill Conference has taken very positive action and agreed today to drop
the PPA from the final bill.
The AKC opposed the Puppy Protection Act because no hearings were held,
no debate occurred, and no opportunities were offered to discuss puppy
protection issues and enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act. These
issues deserve extensive study so effective and enforceable resolutions
can be proposed. This must be done through normal legislative procedures
and the AKC will gladly take a leadership role in that process.
The House-Senate Conference agreement comes as a result of the hard work
by dog fanciers across the country who responded to AKC's numerous calls
to action since this issue first arose in October 2001. Responsible
breeders nationwide let their members of Congress know that the PPA was
bad public policy and would weaken the Animal Welfare Act rather than
improve it.
The AKC worked directly with conferees in both the House and Senate to
explain the shortcomings of the PPA. Numerous meetings on the Hill and
letters and phone calls to the conferees helped achieve our goal.
The Conference Report now goes to the House and Senate for final
approval before being presented to the President."
