Currently New Hanover County offers space to fairs which raffle live animals to contestants. The raffled animals range from baby iguanas to goldfish.
People who win these animals receive little or no information on how to care for them. They may not even want them. The futures of these animals is unknown. It is possible that they are mistreated or even abandoned.
The signatures and names below are in support of this proposed ordinance. The petition will be going before the New Hanover County Commissioners on August 30, 2007.
Proposed ordinance: No live animal shall be given away, raffled or offered as a prize, premium or advertising device, or an inducement to enter any contest, game or other competition involving skill or chance. This ordinance does not include auctioned animals.
