Senator Rabon's appalling comments about House Bill 930 do not constitute an excuse to kill this vital bill. Common decency requires North Carolina to regulate conditions at commercial puppy mills and end the deplorable treatment of helpless animals. As a resident of this state, I strongly support this bill's passage and will be watching carefully to see how you act. Any concerns about the impact on agricultural breeding can easily be dealt with by clarifying the bill's language. There is no excuse to refuse to take action on this bill. Pass House Bill 930 this year!
