Hi! This page is designed to knock down the "Iron Curtain" surrounding West Virgina fairs, chicken shows, etc. You see, the state code of West Virginia states in Chapter 19, Arcticle 9 that, ""Out of state birds must have a negative Avian Influenza test within 10 days of import/exhibition". This has to be done at a cost of Twenty-two dollars, and is VERY cost prohibitive to ever exhibiting at a fair, etc. That HAS been. what WILL be is up to us, and to you. Print out this letter, sign your name, and send it to either Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, Senator Byrd, Or Senator Rockefeller. TOGETHER, we can bring this law to a stop. LETS GO!

Greetings, Senator Byrd. My name is _______, and I would like to invite your attention to
Chapter 19, Arcticle 9 of the state code of West Virginia, In which it states that "Out of state birds must have a negative Avian Influenza test within 10 days of import/exhibition".
Now, it may sound rather strange to you, but there are many people in WV and the surrounding states that would be interested in having a Poultry show in WV, and this law is very cost prohibitive, as the testing fee is twenty - two dollars. I realize that this law was enacted to protect commercial poultry farmers (Perdue, etc), but the act of having a chicken show in WV would in no way cause any potential threat to commercial growers. We take pride in our birds, and would not willfully bring a sick bird to a show, plus, those companies do not show, thus, their birds are not exposed.
This Letter is a request that you please repeal this law, as this would allow us to instate a chicken show. There would be several benefits to the State of West Virginia, such as Increased tourism, etc.
Again, I would really appreciate it if you would give this some consideration.
Thanks!
