has a bill filed they say about commercial breeders,but it has HSUS,AHS, guidelines about its entire strucsure by reading it.
I know its close to what they been pushing across the country.
Go to the NC General Assembly PAGE and you can see your reps. for your area.Jeffus,Dickerson,are two that are pushing it.If this would pass could it open the door for more.I think yes.Get a hold of your area senetors and let them know what you think about HB 460. I OPPOSE IT!
