Holddddddd Uppp! Wait a minute. Seriously? The sheriff's department is taking over the animal control? Did they purchase it as a business? Or was it given to them? I don't understand. How can the Sheriff's Department take over other businesses? Might they be looking into a Krispy Kreme franchise next and run that? Or maybe a shop at the mall? This is weird. Are they going to change the name to New Hanover County Sheriff's Animal Control Department?
