I have maintained or worked with domestic <br />and exotic animals in captivity for most of my life. The North Carolina Museum of Natural <br />Sciences is the designated recipient for venomous reptiles that are confiscated in violation of the <br />State s Article 55 legislation pertaining to public endangerment with venomous reptiles (captive <br />venomous snakes maintained in captivity in unsafe conditions). As such I have experience with <br />working in coordination with law enforcement and animal control in responding to cases of live <br />animals (in this case, venomous reptiles) being kept as pets inappropriately by members of the <br />general public. (I know that Orange County has its own county-level legislation banning the <br />keeping of live venomous reptiles, except as it pertains to research at UNC Chapel Hill). <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />I am a life-long animal lover and wish to offer my experience in helping to ensure that live <br />animals are maintained appropriately (legally, humanely, and safely) in my community. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Only in that my job may require that I consult or assist law enforcement/animal control with <br />confiscations of venomous reptiles in cases of Article 55 violations. <br />31
