the Prez Sez
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) leaders had a battle plan they could have used to potentially prevent the recent horrific attack made on music festival goers The IDF had received intelligence but essentially ignored it because they felt the attack was “aspirational” and would not happen. I reached 80 years a few days ago and am still lawfully able to raise puppies. Goldie’s Act and the Puppy Protection Act are two recent articles of legislation that are being pushed hard in congress to become law. They would require the USDA to ramp up inspections and require tremendous changes to breeders’ housing space, care of their animals, and feeding regime, among many other vital functions. If they are signed into law, will Goldie’s Law and the Puppy Protection Act affect your ability to raise puppies if you reach 80? Or is it “aspirational’? You have the “intelligence”. Action is needed or the attack may happen. Ann Quinn, MPBA Publicity Director Well, another year is over, and it’s time to get started planning for the 2024 MPBA Educational Conference.
