How You Can Help
Find out what you can do to change the laws
For links to state laws and statute excerpts,
go to Laws on animal cruelty.
If you have a question about suspected animal abuse, or how to report animal abuse,
go to the Fighting animal abuse forum.
Some states have felony class laws for animal abuse when the animal involved is a police animal, but for other animals, it is only a misdemeanor. I have not included those in the "felony" states.
