The notice below was sent to AU members who subscribe to the AU’s e-update newsletter….

 

 

 

 

 

This is to advise AU members that the AU Executive Director, Karen Clifton, reached a settlement with the prosecutors in the Oklahoma City Proceedings and that agreement was accepted by the judge in Oklahoma County District Court on August 13. As a result, after a one-year period, the records in her case will be expunged and the case dismissed.

 

 

The AU Board of Directors continues to believe that there was no wrongdoing on the part of the AU Executive Director or AU members at the 100th AU Convention. Rather, these outstanding individuals have been the subject of a direct attack by an animal rights activist organization whose sole goal is to destroy our sport using whatever means necessary.

 

 

Although we face a well-financed and ruthless opponent, our sport will survive and prosper so long as we maintain and promote high ethical standards and practices. The sport's future is in our hands. By standing on core values of family, friendship and community service - values that have typified the AU membership for over a century - we will prevail in the defense and advancement of pigeon racing.

Looks like good news to me!

Would be nice if a media concern or two would / could run with it eh!

In this day and age it is important to not only behave in a decent and ethical way which I believe most Pigeon Fanciers do anyway but it is equally important to make sure that we demonstrate this.

Couldn't agree more. We don't get a lot of publicity and the last thing needed is bad publicity. Typical that after winning their case in court, AU doesn't get deserved media coverage.
