Dennis Foster . Dennis is the Executive Director of the Masters of Foxhounds of the U.S. and an Advisory
Board member of the NAIA and a Trustee of the NAIA Trust. He is an avid sportsman and defender of the
rights of dog owners. He will be speaking on the danger to the sporting and hunting communities from
overzealous animal control and humane societies.

Patti Strand. Patti is National Director of the National Animal Interest Alliance fighting against
unreasonable laws restricting ownership across the country. NAIA and the NAIA Trust have provided
support in the legislative area and through support for lawsuits in many states. They are champions for our
rights and serve to maintain the human-animal bond across many species, not just dogs and cats. She will
be speaking to debunk the myth of pet overpopulation.

Charles Geffen. Chuck is the attorney for Wendy Willard of Murder Hollow Bassets who had her dogs seized by the PSPCA. He will present a summary of the case focusing on the issues, claims and defenses with respect to the defective warrant, unconstitutional search and seizure, unreasonable and misapplied limit law, unauthorized spay/neuters and the use of so-called surrender agreements.

Bill Bruce. Bill is the Director of Animal and By-Law Services in Calgary, Canada and has developed a
service model for animal control in North America. His license fees are based on data reflecting what people
are willing to pay for the service he offers. He has the highest licensing rates for dogs and cats anywhere in
North America. His city has no limit law, no breeding restrictions, no mandatory spay/neuter laws, no
breed specific laws and has the environment most of us want in our City's. He will be spreading the word on
how to make animal control user friendly.
