Action | Promulgate New Regulation to Replace Chapter 140 |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/1/2011 |
As an alpaca farm I am opposed to the restrictions currently in place to import alpacas(livestock into Virginia. I show my animals and won't enter any show that is in a state that does not have the "free" transport of animals with normal regulations like my state(Ohio) . Alpaca showsare a strong economic boost to the state that has them and many owners, myself included, will forego the extra expense that the additional veterinary requirements create for us. Since veterinary inspections are conducted, both at the farm's state, as well as at the show sites, this onerous extra expense is not necessary, and only reduces your state's income from shows. Please replace it with the proposed new version. Type over this text and enter your comments here. You are limited to approximately 3000 wIRords.
