-----Original Message----- CROSS POSTING ENCOURAGED Our legislators have chosen to follow the ugly tide of animal rights legislation by passing H2098--Say goodbye to due process of law, the presumption of innocent until proven guilty, and quickly put a savvy attorney on retainer-they are here, and "we" are their targets. Say goodbye to foxpens and rabbit pens--that will be "baiting" and you will be charged with a FELONY! No more Earthdog trials-baiting those terriers with rats....shame on you--FELONY! Could this law be used against your herding or livestock dogs? While there was an addition for the lawful taking of animals, the wording of the bill still leaves too much room for interpretation. The only chance now is to bring this to the attention of the Governor, and ask that he VETO H2098. In North Carolina, call 1-800-662-7952. Outside of North Carolina, 919-733-4240 or 919-733-5811. Ask the Governor to VETO H2098 and save us from our Legislators. Ask him to protect our freedoms and traditions. Call every day-send this to friends and relatives....cross post to NC dog lists!!
