[pyrnet] Violation of Club Policies, the Law, Rescue (Was Beau, Antler, & Breeders)

["kdbooth" <kdbooth@mindspring.com>]

I'm newly involved in rescue and experiencing the dilemma first hand.  I
fully agree that a breeder violating club policies in regard to taking back
a dog he or she has bred should be exposed to the public.

From a legal standpoint:

Slander, defamation, and libel refer to FALSE statements made about someone.
In order to sue for any of the three, the breeder would have to prove the
accusations false.  If spoken or written statements about the breeder are
true and can be documented, there's little he or she can do except get mad.
