At the September 3 meeting of the Orange County BOCC, Exhibit L 
was a "list of publicly owned animals operated on between 6/28/02

September 3, 2002 letter from Ann Peterson to Dr. Herbert A. 
Justus and members of the N.C. Veterinary Medical Board.

"It recently came to the attention of APS that a part of a 
program we had developed ... may have violated state laws 
relating to the ownership and operation of a veterinary practice.  
We have stopped offering that program until we can determine if 
it can be operated in a manner that complies with State law. ... 

This program operated successfully until March or April of the 
year. It was stopped completely at that time when we determined 
that it may violate State statutes and could not be easily 
redesigned to comply with State statutes ...

We hired counsel to investigate and in March or April determined 
that our current Low Cost Spay Neuter Program violated those 
statutes and could not be easily redesigned to comply.  As a 
consequence, it was stopped and has not operated since."
