Actually, Bill received a warning in writing about an action that was in
violation of the standards the AFA has set for judges.  That along with
numerous written complaints from the ferret community about his handling
of ferrets in the ring and yearly review of his judging ability in the
ring by evaluating the judging sheets and comments, lead to the decision
of non renewal.  Two strikes and your out, simple as that.
 
>There were several judges that had long lists of complaints about them
>and they were not removed either.
 
Several judges have had their licenses revoked or suspended due to failure
to follow the judging guidelines and procedures.
 
>The president of the AFA ad the AFA Judge's co-ordinator broke AFA judge's
>program rules and invented a "non-renewal".  That was done on a day when

Please send this information in detail, via snail mail to the AFA office
for review.

?????
 
>There has been some slander from the President of the AFA about Bill but
>as of yet no valid reasons have been given for their action.
 
This is also false.  But, please also send these allegations, via snail
mail, to the AFA office.
