As printed in the Lansing State Journal - April 28, 2010
Lt. Governor, John Cherry joined dog owners, breeders and
kennel officials today to announce the creation of a
statewide advocacy group to promote "pet friendly"
public policy in Michigan. Officials representing the new
coalition, Protect MI Dogs,
said they will advocate for animal welfare; responsible
dog ownership, breeding and training practices; and sound
science and choice in veterinary medicine.
Cherry, who has bred and raised Springer Spaniels, was at
the Capitol to
help announce the formation of the new group.
Officials said the American Kennel Club licensed and
sanctioned nearly 550 events in Michigan in 2009. More
than 82,000 dogs participated, 65,000 of them from
Michigan. Mark Jaeger, President of Protect MI Dogs, said the group will make sure "policymakers realize that responsible ownership and pet friendly policies can help boost our economy." |

From the AKC Government Relations Toolbox:
As
you talk with legislators and candidates about canine
legislation, it is important to make sure that your message
is effective, and that you know what to do when
disagreements arise. In the past, the AKC has provided
brochures entitled Disagree Diplomatically and
Prepare
for Action to help you be a successful communicator and
advocate. The new Communicating Effectively with
Your Legislators handout combines these two brochures
into your choice of
a
one-page, printable handout
or
a
colorful
brochure that can be distributed to clubs and fellow
breeders to help ensure successful and effective
communications with lawmakers and candidates. |
