                        A Dog Barked. So Officials Wanted His Vocal Cords 
Removed. Ban Debarking Procedures Now!

                        One official in North Carolina recent gave a family 
a shocking ultimatum: cut the vocal cords of their beloved pet dog Leo, or 
face huge legal consequences. The situation escalated after county officials 
repeatedly singled out Leo's family, targeting them with multiple fines for 
their pup's bark. But Leo's not alone in his exuberance. The family has 
multiple nearby neighbors with dogs that bark, and live in a suburb where 
houses stand apart from each other. His people have made it clear that 
they'll entertain alternative humane options, but that this request is 
abusive and they won't abide it. Leo is lucky to have such committed 
parents, but many other dogs are not so fortunate.



                        Removing a dog's vocal cords is done through a 
grotesquely inhumane surgical process called "debarking" or 
"devocalization." You could imagine this might be a painful and traumatic 
experience, and you'd be right. In many places, such as the United Kingdom, 
the procedure is considered so cruel, it's even illegal. The American 
Veterinary Medicine Association has also come out against debarking, calling 
the practice "unethical" and confirming that it "negatively impacts the 
welfare of the dog." Unfortunately, debarking is still allowed in many U.S. 
states, including North Carolina. This incident just proves how few rights 
pet dogs have in North Carolina — and how quickly an animal could be abused. 
Lawmakers in North Carolina must protect pets, now. Sign the petition to 
demand that lawmakers ban the inhumane practice of debarking dogs throughout 
the state!
