Lawmakers are trying to make life difficult for animal abusers.
After a proposed law that would declare cruelty to animals a federal felony
in Florida and a Pennsylvania law that authorizes felonies to dog owners
who leave their pets outside in extreme weather conditions for more than
30 minutes, it could be Colorado’s turn to introduce a law that would
definitely state made more acceptable to animals.
Denver lawmaker Representative Alex Valdez introduced HB19-1092, a bill that if approved :
+would give judges the ability to ban people convicted of misdemeanor animal abuse from taking care or
+owning an animal of any kind for a period of 5 to 10 years.
In addition to that:
felons would be charged a minimum $500 fine!
Animal lovers from across the U.S. praise this proposal,
and many hope similar measures to counter animal
cruelty will be taken by more states across the nation!
