The Possum Right-To-Work-Act has been signed by the Governor of North Carolina. This is a clear cut example on how backwards North Carolina is let alone how much work is needed to fix the issues that are at work here. We are an embarrassment and a joke for all. North Carolina do you not have bigger issues that need to be addressed versus a backwards bill such as this? How many man hours were spent on this bill? What did this cost the taxpayers of NC? Well from the latest lawsuit filed by PETA, and the courts ruling atleast $74,446.00 must be paid back to PETA and this is just the beginning of this legal battle.

Now for further embarrassment please watch this video clip of the NC Senators voting on this bill, their pokes and jabs at Bob Barker, the immature comments about Spay & Neuter and further unprofessional behavior coming from the NC Senators while in secession. Please wait and listen to the first few minutes which is about a separate bill, but directly after the Housing Bill you will see how the North Carolina Senators acted while in secession.

If the North Carolina Senators act this poorly while in secession on camera, heavens forbid how they act while off camera in their own groups.

 

Why did North Carolina need to create a bill such as this? Why not ask the people of Brasstown about their New Years Traditions of dropping a possum held in a glass box as their symbol on how to start the New Year off. All of this money and time used so one town in NC can have their tradition versus being more humane and less self absorbed and not using NC Wildlife in such an event. Who lives in this town that a bill needed to surround one event? As long as you write the check you can have any bill signed into law that you want in North Carolina it seems.

North Carolina clearly shows with this one bill their lack of compassion and humane treatment for their own Wildlife. Maybe this is why North Carolina is listed as a HIGH KILL STATE for their reckless behavior for the 340,000 domestic animals they euthanize in their county animals shelters each year along with their lack of Spay & Neuter Requirements to even attempt to reduce their euthanasia's numbers.

Update on NC Animal Shelter Events: In late April 2013, most is not all NC County Animal Shelters were sent a reminder to NOT be transporting or euthanizing our wildlife unless they show signs of rabies. And if they shows signs of rabies then other steps must take place, not just euthanasia. If your NC County Animal Shelter is still euthanizing our wildlife for lack of knowledge or for the “ thrill”, please step up, write down the events that took place and contact both the NC Wildlife Commission( POC is Gordon Myers)  Phone: 919-707-0010   email   wrccomments@ncwildlife.org or gordon.myers@ncwildlife.org  and the NC   Dept of Agra at  AGR.AWS@ncagr.gov                            

Opossums are not vicious creatures,  their only means to frighten you is to show their teeth and play dead. Please respect our wildlife in NC and let’s learn to co-exist. Same for foxes, skunks, bats, beavers and so on.
