Ozarks Kennel Club was honored to welcome Karen Strange, President of MOFED (Missouri Federation of Animal Owners), to speak with our membership.
MOFED is on the front lines protecting the rights of responsible animal owners, breeders, exhibitors, and sportsmen by fighting legislation that threatens animal ownership and working to keep animal rights activists from writing or influencing our laws.
Karen shared the challenges they faced during this legislative session. While not every bill could be stopped, MOFED successfully kept provisions out of proposed legislation that would have allowed animal rights activists to influence or determine what constitutes animal abuse.
MOFED also works closely with the AKC Government Relations team, providing valuable input and collaborating to combat harmful anti-animal owner legislation.
A huge thank you to Karen Strange and the entire MOFED team for their dedication and tireless work protecting our rights as responsible animal owners.
