Action | Promulgate New Regulation to Replace Chapter 140 |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 4/1/2011 |
The change to the current regulation is important to help alpaca breeders sustain their business (incoming alpacas for breedings, shows, sales) in this difficult economy. While we are all interested in maintaining the high health standards expected of alpaca breeders, it is a financial hardship to have to have animals rrepeatedly tested in order to come instate for the above-mentioned reasons, particularly from states that are already TB, Brucellos or Blue Tongue free. Please give strong consideration to this amendment to help the alpaca breeders in VA and those wishing to enter the state of VA.
