17 <br /> AS Legislative Agenda <br /> November 21,2018 <br /> Page 2 <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 /> Approved by the Animal Services Advisory Board <br /> November 21,2018 <br /> Contact: Bob Marotto, Orange County Animal Services Director(919.932.4963) <br />
