Just when you thought you've had your fill of
fake news and relentless attacks on animal breeders... a new website
masquerading as a pro-dog breeder publication is resorting to disturbing
tactics to disparage dog breeders, dog breeding, and the AKC.
Last week, a new publication launched called, The Canine
Review. Sounds familiar, right? Not to be mistaken by Canine Review,
Canada's oldest independent competitive dog show magazine featuring Canada's
top canine handlers and dog show enthusiasts, founded in 1978.
An imposter, The Canine Review,
was launched recently by an Emily Brill, former writer for BuzzFeed andThe
Daily Beast. Emily Brill is not a credible source for issues surrounding the
hobby and profession of dog breeding. Her organization and website is nothing
more than an anti-breeder, animal rights hit job on dog breeders, while
resorting to the all too familiar scheme of publishing lies and misinformation.
In preparation for the launch of her dupe publication-website, Emily Brill
called several individual breeders and interviewed them under the deceptively
familiar-sounding name of The Canine Review. In HSUS fashion, Emily
Brill twisted the truth, taking inspection reports and breeding protocol out of
context and used it to smear these breeders on her new website.
Ms. Brill makes
access to these smear reports on her website to subscribers only. So, for
$19.99 a year, anyone can pay to read the lies she purports.
So much for
transparency and legitimacy in Ms. Brill's new "publication."
Brill Tweeted about the logo design for her new website which calls into questions whether there are copyright infringements with the name being almost identical to the Canadian publication, Canine Review.
Brill has also posted an advertisement on the Berkley Journalism website seeking freelance writers to produce "feature stories for paid subscribers who will have access to a database of profiles of breeders and animal shelters across the country."
This post is to serve as a warning to all dog
breeders to avoid speaking with Emily Brill or anyone from The Canine Review.
The Cavalry Group will release an article soon which will set
the record straight about the misinformation and lies that Emily Brill has
published.
To those who are members, thank you for your
membership and support.
Your friend in the fight,
Mindy Patterson
