Dear Ms. Bischoff,

I just read your article in the Dayton Daily News, and had a couple of comments I'd like to share with you.

In your article you wrote: " The administration received just 20 emails and letters from opponents of stricter regulations, saying they didn’t want to lose their animals." I believe the opposition number is understated, and not all of us that oppose the ban even own animals on the "hit-list" to lose. Many of us are just disappointed that this administration would so glibly forfeit Ohioans liberties and forsake his commitment to include "all stakeholders" in his solution, in lieu of political expediency and succumbing to the pressure of the out-of-state Animal Rights special interests, the Humane Society of the United States. Speaking of the HSUS, how is it that they can defraud so many people out of so much money, lobby to effect policy and the political process in direct violation of their IRS tax-exempt status, and spread so much misinformation and propaganda with impunity? How is this not the story that you actually SHOULD be reporting? The HSUS in NOT the organization most people believe it to be! It is an Animal Rights (as opposed to Animal Welfare) organization that has the stated objectives of ending all animal/human interaction, with pets and agriculture at the top of the list in Ohio. Read it in their own words!

When asked if he envisioned a future without pets, “If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don’t want to see another dog or cat born.” ----Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 266.

“I don’t have a hands-on fondness for animals…To this day I don’t feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and I’m kind to them, but there’s no special bond between me and other animals.” ---Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 251.

“ One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals.” ---Wayne Pacelle, quoted in Animal People, May, 1993

“My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture." ---JP Goodwin, employed at the Humane Society of the US, formerly at Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, as quoted on AR-Views, an animal rights Internet discussion group in 1996.

Also, have you seen Senator Moran's speech from the Senate Floor about the HSUS?

There is way too much smoke for their not to be a fire of some sort... How can the deceit and deception that IS the HSUS not be your story?

Please, don't take my word for it, do more research.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Mark Pollard
