Nice site. Shambala and the wolfdog owner - BEWARE!!!
Posted Sep 1, 2000 3:32 PM
I have posted on several sites the invitation I now state again to Tippi or her appointed representative. I will be glad to debate or discuss the Shambala legislation at any time, place or location on the internet that you name, as long as I am available. I will be going on vacation for a few weeks and will be out more than in. We can come to some manner of agreement on the arraingments, I am sure.
Shambala is flawed in many areas, IF the intent is for responsible owners of exotics to be able to keep their animals in a responsible manner.
Shambala is just right as rain if the intent of Shambala is to rid the private sector and now permitted USDA folks of their animals and make these private owners PAY for the upkeep of the animals in facilites that are NOT up to or are constantly having problems with health laws and other violations of USDA/AWA regulations. I would not want one of my animals to go to a facility that was subpar - just because they have a "certificate" declaring them to be a sanctuary.
Discussion is good. Asking questions is even better. Getting answers to questions that were ASKED FOR would be even better. The ball is in Shambala's court. "WE" will get the answers before the hearings committee or from those that wrote the legislation. Silence is NOT golden in this case. "WE" are waiting for your reply. Thank you.
