NC is being devestated. The House passed the Governor's bill that was stuck inside a budget bill. Right now you will NOT be able to own more than 9 intact females. Right now these IS NO EXEMPTION for hunting dogs. Today we need action as it might be over tonight. If you live in NC call your senator immediately. Be nice on the phone and tell them you are against this bill. They want to move animal welfare to public safety. This will be the beginning of the end for hunters in NC. If this happens it will make it easy for this governor to pass his wife's personal agenda of getting rid of breeding. I have asked the UKC to take IMMEDIATE action and put word on all forums and their website. Please pass this on to PKC and all hunt clubs. Everyone needs to pick up the phone. This is a last ditch effort today or this could end the long history of hunting dogs in the state of NC!
