American Shetland Sheepdog
Association
Statement on PETA/HSUS
People and
dogs share a deep and
abiding bond. Selective
breeding has produced a
wonderful diversity of
well over one hundred
specialized breeds which
benefit people in a host
of economic and emotional
ways. We deepen that bond
by competing with our dogs
in conformation shows,
agility, herding, and
obedience.
ASSA
supports humane treatment
for all dogs, education,
voluntary spay/neuter for
non-breeding animals,
genetic research, and
ethical breeding
practices, including
health screenings, which
mean longer, happier,
healthier lives for dogs.
ASSA opposes the most
radical portions of the
agendas of groups such as
HSUS and PETA. These
agendas are not intended
solely to promote the
welfare of dogs, but seek
to bestow on them rights,
in some cases equivalent
to those of human beings.
They want to ban breeding
of all domesticated
animals, including
purebred dogs.
Join us in
fighting radical animal
rights legislation!
