What I thought was ‘the end’ about the topic of animal abuse and neglect turned out not to be.
I keep thinking each time there is a comment or a specific point gets some good discussion going, that flyballers who read this blog will say that all-encompassing thing that clicks the light on for everyone.
By ‘george’ I think I’ve found it. Did you see it, too?
Bottom line for NAFA flyballers is out there. If you are a flyballer who agrees that animal abuse and neglect related to a flyball event is OK in your interpretation of your world, just sit tight as you are in good hands with NAFA leadership. They have spoken and they have taken action accordingly. Your dog’s ONYX plaque will look good next to the person’s convicted (which, coincidentally, your tourney entries and hostings have/will help pay for.)
On the flip side, if you are not OK with this entire scenario you are the one in charge of your interpretation of your world and you have the capabililty to tell NAFA and to do or say something to change it.
Enough said, I trust.

I’m kinda tired of the NAFA bashing blog. As far as you have reported, at least NAFA has contacted you back. What about U-fli?
To Anon –
I agree with you about ‘kinda tired’…me, too. I posted the latest from U-FLI on the previous blogs. At this time, it is either with the Rules Committee or the Board. Of note is there has been only 1 U-FLI tourney the person/dogs were in and that was well before the conviction and before U-FLI became aware of it. The person has no longer been participating in U-FLI since that 1 tourney (as far as I could tell).
NAFA on the other hand has been aware of it (as far back as has been made public) since the Spring, along with post-conviction they allowed the person to participate and they took no action until the original blog article in October. Since that time they have continued to allow both the person and/or the person’s dogs to continue to participate. These are the facts. Hence, I disagree with the comment “NAFA bashing”.
