June 9, 1987 <br /> Rt. 4, Box 357 <br /> Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 <br /> Shirley Marshall, Chairperson _ <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 106 East Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. <br /> Dear Ms. Marshall, <br /> I am writing in support of the proposed ordinance to prohibit <br /> the use of the steel jaw trap in Orange County. This device is <br /> an.abanination to the humane treatment to animals no matter what <br /> the goal of its use. Moreover, the trap imposes a real safety hazard <br /> to domestic animals, pets, and humans. There are alternative <br /> humane and safe means of hunting and trapping. Please help Orange <br /> County set an example of mature conscience and responsibility by <br /> voting for this ordinance. i admire very much the states and <br /> counties that already have. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 0. rJ <br /> Patricia T. Edkins <br />
