Abstract:

The General Assembly of North Carolina ruled that banker ponies, as well as any other wild live stock on Core Bank, must be removed due to beach erosion directly related to the animal's presence. On a similar note, previous bans on cultivation of the indigenous plant, the Venus fly trap, have been lifted. Although still illegal to harvest wild specimens, the Assembly ruled that nurseries and individuals may cultivate the plant on their property for commercial sales.
