Comment Period | Ended on 4/1/2011 |
As a Virginia alpaca farmer and member of the Virginia Alpaca Owners & Breeders Association, I fully support the repeal of 2VAC5-140-140 and its replacement with 2 VAC 5-141.
Many breeders will not participate in our VAOBA show because of the current testing requirements and the expense involved. Both, alpaca and llama breeders need to be able to bring their animals into the state of Virginia to participate in our shows without the burden of unnecessary and expensive testing. Most other states have already made these changes. Virginia should as well.
