2019-APHIS-06199-F kavin, Kim - 8/23/2019 9/23/2019 Requesting copies of all letters, emails and other communications between 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the following individuals between 

April 15, 2018, and August 1, 2019: 1. Jane Rosenthal of Storm Lake, Iowa; 

2. Carol Armbrust of Cleveland Heights, Ohio; 3. Renee Eden of Anna,

Peyton, Colorado and/or Colorado Springs, Colorado; and 12. Shannon 

McKenzie of St. Louis Park, Minnesota. According to the documents received 

for FOIA 2018-APHIS-04840-F, there were communications between APHIS 

and the individuals listed in the new FOIA request that helped to determine 

what, and what would not, be regulated under the federal Animal Welfare 

Act. I’m trying to access those communications (which I assume are emails 

or snail mail, but I don’t know for sure) to understand why some individuals 

buying dogs at auctions and then reselling them as rescued are now being 

regulated while other individuals doing business the same exact way are not 

being regulated. The names listed in the new FOIA 2019-APHIS-06199-F are 

doing a high volume of business, but have been told they don’t require 

license while others conducting the same type of business were required to 

be licensed. Please provide the emails, memos and letters between these 

individuals and APHIS that led APHIS to determine that licensing was not 

required.
