Here is some background info and a sample letter for reference purposes:
The Columbus County Animal Control has an arrangement with Carolina Scientific to sell them as dissection specimens.
They MAKE money on every adult cat that is KILL.
I understand that they made $16,000 on the cats bodies last year and gave it to another department to spend
The least the county could do would be to reinvest it into the shelter
This Animal control In Whiteville,North Carolina does NOTHING to try to adopt out the cats at it's AC.
They have dogs listed on Petfinder but no cats.
Cats and dogs are poorly photographed, often appear sick and untreated.
Cats and dogs are held in nasty conditions and they Kill them within days of their arrival.
Now we know why.
Please take a moment to copy and paste the sample letter below to send to Governor Bev Perdue and CC the County Manager and other NC elected officials below.
We are on to their game as to why the Shelter cats of North Carolina are not kept in humane conditions and do not get a fair chance at being adopted as they are being killed for profit
AND THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY.
Pets should not be used as science projects.
What is this teaching our children!
Below is a sample letter to Govenor Bev Perdue to
edit with your name etc.
Feel free to add any concerns you might have but remember to be professional as animal welfare people are looked at as nut cases to begin with.
If you have a moment please email or print out and snail mail to the contacts listed below.
Or heck, pick up the phone and call like Ann did.
Sample Letter:
Dear Governor Perdue,
I am contacting you to voice my concern regarding the conditions the animals are kept in and subjected to in many of the Animal Control facilities in the State of North Carolina .
It has come to my attention through numerous pictures and information on social media sites, that the Animal Control in Whiteville North Carolina sells euthanized cat remains to research facilities.
It is reported that $16,000.00 was obtained by Whiteville Animal Control last year,for the sale of these remains.
It does not appear, based on photos of the Animal Control, that these funds were reinvested in adoption outreach measures or improvements to the housing conditions of the facility.
These funds obtained would not encourage Whiteville to maintain humane conditions for these cats, nor encourage the facility to make any effort to try to adopt these animals into loving homes.
I also have concerns that this may be happening in other Animal Control locations in North Carolina.
The conditions pictured on social media sites, reflecting how animals are kept throughout North Carolina at many of these Animal Control facilities is deplorable.
These pictures,taken by concerned citizens in each county, do not reflect well on North Carolina and have initiated a nationwide call to boycott NC for business travel and tourism.
I believe this lack of humane treatment at Whiteville, is possibly in violation of Section 19A-21 of the North Carolina Animal Welfare Act.
Please as an animal lover, consider an investigation to improve these conditions and assist to stop the selling of cat and dog remains to research facilities.
These animals have no voice to speak out for themselves.
We are going into an election year and we intend to speak very loudly in favor of those politicians that take action to support the dignity,welfare and humane treatment of companion animals in North Carolina.
I have personally canceled my annual fall vacation to Asheville and Linville until I can see some efforts being made to reform the conditions for companion animals at Animal Controls in North Carolina.
Many people worldwide, thanks to social media, are following and it is time for North Carolina to eliminate the gas chamber in Animal Controls,allocate necessary funding to restore humane conditions to the animals housed there and seek out methods for local community support to provide care for and assistance to help these animals obtain a home.
Pictures of the conditions at Whiteville and other Animal Controls in North Carolina
are available if requested.
Thank you,

I was shocked to learn that your company, which makes Nestea, experiments on animals simply to make health claims about your tea products and ingredients.
Experimenters injected mice with toxic chemicals to give them diabetes, then force-fed them tea ingredients before killing them. In another experiment, mice were force-fed tea extracts and then had their leg muscles cut open before they were decapitated. Your company also funded an experiment in which brain-damaged and rapidly aging mice were locked in dark chambers and given painful shocks to their extraordinarily sensitive feet before being killed.
U.S. and international regulators have stated that animal tests are not sufficient to prove health claims about food and beverage products.
The makers of Arizona, Celestial Seasonings, Honest Tea, Lipton, Luzianne Tea, Snapple, Stash Tea, Tazo, Twinings, and other leading tea brands have confirmed in writing that they do not test their teas or ingredients on animals.
Please stop these cruel and archaic tests and institute a policy against conducting and funding tea tests on animals.
I won't buy Nestea products and will support only those tea companies that don't test on animals until your company stops testing tea and tea ingredients on animals.
