RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Gov. Beverly Perdue says an inspector has been sent to Robeson County in southern North Carolina after her Facebook fan page was flooded with messages from animal rights activists urging her to investigate claims of abuse at an animal shelter there.
The posts began Tuesday and have continued into Thursday morning.
Some of the posts also call for the staff at the shelter to be replaced.
In a response on her page dated Wednesday afternoon, Perdue said she appreciates the "passionate calls for action." Her response also says she's contacted the Commissioner of Agriculture's office and that the department's veterinary office has sent an inspector to Robeson County. Perdue said she trusts they'll ensure state laws are being followed at animal shelters there.
