Protest the AKCs Deal With Petland Stores

NOTE: THANK YOU EVERYBODY! AKC LISTENED AND HAS CHANGED ITS MIND- NO DEAL WITH PETLAND. THANK YOU ALL! WE SENT YOUR WORDS AND I KNOW IT HELPED

To:  American Kennel Club

We, the undersigned, encourage the American Kennel Club (AKC) to rescind its proposed business relationship with Petland stores. We are alarmed because the sale of dogs at chain stores encourages the volume breeding of dogs. This type of breeding does not encourage the betterment of any breed.
Additionallly, when a dog is sold from a retail store there is minimal if any screening of potential homes.
As the AKC explains in its fact sheet, AKC dog registrations have decreased recently. In an effort increase AKC registrations and its income, we believe that the AKC's proposal will sacrifce the standards, health and temperament of purebred dogs.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
