please look closely at who is sponsoring this bill. 1/2 of the senators co-sponsoring S329 are also FOR HB460 (commercial dog breeders).

some of them appear to be playing both sides.

guess they are trying to play both sides of the fence.

BTT

A NC Constitutional Ammendment that states a "Right to Hunt" is a huge step forward for our state.

If this bill is voted on and does not pass then you could lose your hunting rights all together. Tennessee has one coming up in 2012 and it could be a scary thing. Think about this: How many people in the big cities hunt? But how many vote? The HSUS will be pushing hard for this not to pass. Watch for the ads to appear on TV and on billboards. Just hope we win and not them.

and the sad thing about most of these is that they are entered by people in urban counties.

S515 - prohibit penning of wildlife - started by sen from Wake county - think Raleigh. how many pens are in raleigh?

Good Luck

I guess you all see that EVERY propsed bill that went through March 4th 2009 PASSED! U know from the WRC of NC. Good Luck trying to get all the "some one else will take care of it for me" hound owners out there to stand up for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! I have already learned that ALL of NC hound/ beagle hunters are to sorry to get off the couch and attend a meeting... better yet, to sorry to get online and vote ...you know push buttons. More Rabbit hunters showed up in my district than hound owners ps there was 2 of us!!!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! I KNOW I WILL BE THERE
PS Everyone who wants to fuss bout these issues won't try to change them so get up and do something or give in a sell your dog

if you cant go to a meeting, flood the email boxes. I have sent 4 in the last 2 days: Sen Kay Hagan (who ran on the position of helping hunters in NC), Sen Neal Hunt (sponsor of S515), and both my district Senator and Representative. I cant get to a meeting, but I do know how to write a an email or make a phone call. Maybe others will do the same or we can all go to other states to watch and remember what hunting with dogs was like....ahhh the good ol' days.

Posted by LMBEDDINGFIELD on 03-11-2009 08:23 PM:

Misha,

Unfortunately you are correct!!!

We can not make anyone do anything, all we can do is to the best of our ability make as many people as possible aware of what is going on out there. Ask them to help and provide them with the information to be able to help.

We do have so many people out there that assume that someone else is going to take care of it for them...... but the sad truth is it takes us all.... Please if you are on this forum it means you have computer access and it will only take you a few minutes to use the links supplied to find your district representatives and send the emails to them.

It is not to much to ask and if you do not and the bills pass then you have no one to blame but yourself. Your representative that did not hear from you could have be the deciding vote.

PLEASE HELP NOW!!!!!!

Already have my friend.

These officails think they are slick gonna vote both ways in hopes of keeping all of their votes! Below is an example of how easy it is to email our reps!
