AS Legislative Agenda <br />November 21, 2018 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />North Carolina Dangerous Dog Law (67-4.1): A provision is needed to allow fighting dogs to be further <br />assessed to determine whether their behavior warrants their declaration as a dangerous dog. <br />Support legislation to change current law so that dogs from dog fighting investigations and seizures are <br />not automatically deemed dangerous without further determination that the dogs alleged to have been <br />owned or harbored for fighting demonstrate an increased potential for unprovoked attacks on persons <br />or domestic animals, in order to alleviate the requirement to destroy these animals “sight unseen.” <br />Additionally, clarify at what point in the legal process a dog is “owned or harbored…for fighting,” be it <br />upon seizure, arrest, indictment, or conviction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Approved by the Animal Services Advisory Board <br />November 21, 2018 <br /> <br />Contact: Bob Marotto, Orange County Animal Services Director (919.932.4963) <br />
