North Carolina General Statute §67-2 "Permitting Bitch at Large" :

Quite right, too. Thanks for the heads up.

While we're on the subject, kindly refer to Title 10, Section 10-219 of
the Municipal Code of Ordinances for Dyersburg, Tennessee:

10-219. Proud bitches to be confined.

Every owner of a proud bitch is required to confine her for twenty-four
(24) days during the time she is proud. Every person violating the
provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be
subject to a fine under the general penalty clause for this code. In
addition, any person working under the supervision of the public health
officer, the chief of police, or the rabies control officer shall be
authorized to destroy any proud bitch found at large in violation of
this section. (1978 Code, § 3-219)
