You will also see many of the AKC state and national breed clubs sending money to Rick Berman ally NAIA, and reproducing Rick Berman propaganda from their clubs in their literature, in contacts to the media, their lobbying activity with their legislators, etc while posing as "show breeders" or experts in dog care, all the while simply lobbying for puppy mill protection and opposing regulation via Rick Berman propaganda.
Some of these AKC breeders have also infiltrated local animal control advisory boards and citizen groups, where they use Rick Berman propaganda to oppose regulation and oppose anti-cruelty laws on behalf of themselves, their industry, and their lobbyist Rick Berman and the puppy mills.
Some breeders have formed front groups that they call "Responsible Dog Owner" groups to do Rick Berman lobbying for the puppy mills, etc. They try to trick the public with the "responsible dog owner" line that hides their for-profit business interests.
This is how Berman attempts to control. He gets the "little people" to do his work for him locally.
Typical, when it affects the rich countries everyone is up in arms - we forget that we are constantly causing the same damage elsewhere, out of sight, out of mind.
Learn lessons and punish the people involved.

Many people do not know that the AKC is involved with Rick Berman, because the AKC makes the majority of its income from puppy mill registrations, and supports puppy mill cruelty for profit.

The AKC also has a business relationship with Petland, the largest purveyor of puppy mill puppies, and a Berman client.
The AKC, of course, detests humane groups that push for regulation of puppy mills and anti-cruelty laws. Without the puppy mills, the AKC would go bankrupt instead of raking in millions and millions for huge salaries, dog shows, breeder promotion, and lobbying..
AKC board member Patti Strand, responsible for a large amount of the AKC's puppy mill business and on the AKC Large Volume Breeder (puppy mill) committee, has herself a front group, NAIA, that works with Berman and Center for Consumer Freedom smearing humane groups.and passing out Berman propaganda.

This is why you will often see AKC breeders posting propaganda from Rick Berman on websites, comments, letters to media, etc.
Some AKC breeders have even infiltrated smaller shelters, and use the cover of the shelter to issue Rick Berman propaganda against humane groups.
In 1998 BP smugly promoted the following ad.
"We are bringing oil to the shores of America"
If this resurfaces now and is circulated on the internet, it will be interesting to see how their PRs deal with it.
