How does your child going to a NC public school have any
connection to my volunteer work as an Animal Advocate? I’m about to show you the direct connect and
why I would welcome any support to help my cause which in turns helps your child’s
education here in NC.
First of all please view the first screen shot from the NC
School Board Association of NC. Pay close attention to the line that states “ North
Carolina Constitution requires that public schools receive “the clear proceeds
of all penalties and forfeitures and of all fines collected in the several
counties for any breach of the penal laws of the State.”
Then view the second screen shot from the NC General Statues
Articles 31 A 115C-457.1 Creation of Funds
Now please view the 3rd screen shot from the NC
Dept of Agriculture site for civil penalties and fines accessed. When you view
this screen shot or link for full view, you will find very few civil penalties placed
and even less collected by the NC dept of Agriculture due to their lack of due diligence
to uphold the current NC General Statues 130A-192 or the NC Animal Welfare Act.
This shows a lesser amount of money going to your kids education here in North
Carolina that what should be and therefore shows the connect of my work as and
Animal Advocate and your child’s future education in the State of North
Carolina.
Whether you have an animal or even care about animals in
general my hopes are with me explaining how our NC School System could be
awarded more money to keep the classrooms with teachers, with the much needed
supplies or even the security to keep them safe while at school, I might be
able to get you to view the issues and concerns some of us have with our County
Animal Shelters in a different light.
I understand many people want to label all animal advocates
as extremists, but if you look past those extremists you will find a large
amount of caring individuals who work for the animals and their better care
from their hearts and their own wallets. With any concern or issue in our world
you will always find extremists, people who only scream and yell profanity’s
and run without correct facts. However there are those of us that work only
with facts, we work to help change the inhumane conditions that many of our homeless
animals find themselves in even those that make their way into some of our
failing county animal shelters.
We do understand that some wonderful shelters exists in NC along
with a caring and humane staff, and this is not to taint those and their
efforts. But sadly we do have a high number of county animal shelters that
refuse to be humane to the animals in their care, who refuse to follow the
current Animal Welfare Act as it’s written, and we do have a high number of
shelter employees that need to be re-trained or possible be moved over to a
different county positions.
We have county animal shelters that are feeding animals mouldy
food, not removing the fecal matter from their water bowls, not going in on
their weekend shift to care for the animals locked inside those cages, we have
county animal shelter employee’s refusing to take pictures of the animals in their care, those who refuse vet care to
sick and injured animals along with a high number of shelters who are euthanizing
animals every day with no weigh scales prior to injecting them with fatal plus
or another narcotic which you can view in the below screen shot needs to be
followed.
We are more than halfway into 2013 and still the NC General
Assembly still has been unable to move forward in correcting their own mistake with
SB 467 ( GS 130 A-192 ) signed into law
by then Governor Bev Purdue on July 7, 17, 2009.
4 years later, with many major agencies and overseeing
offices being made aware on this issue, they have sat by and allowed a law to remain
on the books under the incorrect enforcement office and done little to nothing
to correct their own original mistakes. My question is how many other laws are
on the books in NC just as this one under the incorrect enforcement office and
basically making them null and void?
