The NRA and many of the dog hunting organizations are out in force to fight against bill 460 I think mainly because HSUS is for it. Seems to me current laws if were enforced would take care of the problem of puppy mills without the need of adding on additional laws.
The anti-hunting extremists at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) have turned up the pressure on the North Carolina House Finance Committee in an effort to pass Senate Bill 460, or another bill to which they can attach its language. Time continues to run out on their ability to pass this attack on responsible dog breeders, including those that breed dogs for hunting. While some have tried to claim that hunting dogs will not be affected by this bill, the statement is completely false. All breeds of dogs will be affected.
NRA-ILA Alert
Is 460 a “anti hunting” bill? I’m not sure I guess in a round about way it may be. I’ll let my readers decide for themselves the NRA link has the information on who to contact.
I’ve now learned of a local NRA blog for the NC 2nd District that has been all over this bill that you may want to check out as well. There is a lot of information on this “anti hunting” bill but surprisingly silent on the more clearly anti hunting bills in my view like the anti Sunday Hunting Bills, the bills to block crossbows, and the bills to block a second week of muzzle loaders.
We certainly welcome the added support of the NRA standing up for hunters rights at the state level. That was clearly one of the goals they made to many of us hunting bloggers at the convention in Charlotte this year.
