Message to leave: “Hello,my name is _____ _____ ,I am a North Carolina citizen. I saw a investigative report on NBC 17 recently that said that the Farm Bureau,NRA,American Kennel Club and the Pork Council are preventing a commercial breeder law being passed in the General Assembly. Are these organizations and companies priorities more important than the wishes of citizens of North Carolina? North Carolina Citizens,majority legislators,Sheriffs Association,County Commissioners support regulating large scale dog breeders in North Carolina. Our current laws are not sufficient to protect our animals in bad breeder situations. Animal control has to wait until dogs are suffering so badly that the case falls under animal cruelty. Thank you for your time.” |  |
