From staff reports

Gov. Bev Perdue's Facebook fan page is being bombarded by animal rights activists who are urging her to investigate claims of abuse at a Robeson County animal shelter.

The posts, many by people with profile pictures that feature dogs or cats, began sometime before noon Tuesday and have continued an unrelenting assault.

Comments ask Perdue, a Democrat, things like "Have you ever heard the scream of terror from a dog being gassed to death?" or make suggestions such as "Perhaps this would be a good time to order your minions to CEAST AND DESIST already!"

So far Perdue has not responded on her Facebook page. The activists have warned repeatedly that they will not stop.
