MEOE - Save the Hungarian Kennel Club: The Hungarian government must recognize MEOE !

From: Magyar Ebtenyésztők Országos Egyesülete (MEOE)

Considering the current situation that our member in Hungary, MEOE, is facing, the FCI members and the FCI General Committee wish to reiterate their full support to our very long-standing member that has been sharing our wonderful existence since 1933. Talks and negotiations will take place with the Hungarian political authorities to envisage the future but we want to insist to the world dog community that MEOE can count with our unconditioned support and friendship. H.W. MüllerFCI President

We ask all members of the FCI to help save the MEOE - the Hungarian Kennel Club by this petition

The MEOE has a long tradition, established in 1899, of Pedigree registration, FCI International Shows, Breedclubs and all kind of canine activities for the benefits of its members !....Let us stand together and show the Hungarian Government how many people that supports this club all over the world !! ......

The Hungarian Government wants to control dog breeding in Hungary. Only organizations approved by the Government are allowed to make pedigrees, arrange shows and judge.   

Everyone else not approved is NOT allowed and will be penalized with very high fines. The government does not want to approve the MEOE ! and FCI does not want to approve any other organization in Hungary than  the Meoe.

So if no solution before 15. May 2012 the MEOE is not able to run a club and FCI  will have no activities in Hungary any more !! …. 

We are in chock that a government is able to do this and think it is has nothing to do with European democracy !! The MEOE have existed since 1899 so a very long tradition and history that we will not accept to loose in the FCI !!  …That is why we are asking all members of FCI – especially the European members to help in this fight and save the MEOE !

Who knows this could easily spread to other eastern European countries with the loss of many fine breeders, gene poles and shows !
