jeg sakser noe fra en ´mailliste´ jeg er medlem av. Det gjelder forhold for HUNDE og katte oppdrettere i noen stater i USA. Beklager at jeg ikke oversettr for de som ikke forstår engelsk. Håper det gjelder et lite fåtall.

>Joan Miller forwarded to me an piece which was aired on Dallas station
>WFAA-TV a few months ago. It seems that AR activists, posing as pet buyers,
>are making the rounds to shut down ´puppy mills´ in the Dallas area.
>Although this story was about dogs, there is no reason to believe that the
>AR nuts are not interested in cat breeders too.
>
>PLEASE be careful to screen people before you let them into your homes. I
>have a few suggestions listed below. Most are common sense. They are good
>ideas no matter where you live. Remember, the AR movement is international
>in scope.
>
>1. Always keep your cattery clean and take good care of your animals.
>
>2. Consider a P.O. Box or other address for business cards and
>advertisements. Keep descriptions of your location general (i.e. Texas,
>rather than the name of the City or County where you live). The Internet
>can provide anonymity for initial contacts. You can even buy a ´remote
>prefix´ to get a phone number from a nearby community forwarded to your
>phone or to a voice mail.
>
>3. Avoid local newspaper classifieds, they are often monitored. The Dallas
>AR group *IS* monitoring newspaper ads.
>
>4. Screen any potential kitten buyers carefully. Always be alert that they
>may be Animal Control or Animal Rights working under cover.
>
>5. Don´t allow strangers into your home until you have screened them.
>
>6. Anything about you that can be observed in ´plain sight´ can become
>probable cause for a warrant. Be cautious and limit kitten buyers to
>certain areas of your home. Also be aware of which areas of you home are
>visible from the outside, and plan accordingly.
>
>Please be careful out there.
