A New Illinois Law Will
Stop Abusers From Living in the Same Home as Animals.
Tell Minnesota to Do the
Same! | | |
A crucial new
law in Illinois makes it illegal for convicted abusers
to own an animal. Perhaps most importantly,
though, it also makes it illegal for abusers to
even live with an animal at all, even if the
pet is not legally in their possession. This amazing
piece of legislation makes it much more difficult for
perpetrators to simply transfer pet ownership on paper
and then continue their violent animal abuse.
Research shows that animal abusers tend to be
repeat offenders, so removing their ability to
come into close contact with helpless creatures is a
vital step towards reducing future cruelty. Such a law
deserves to be replicated because it could save
countless animal lives elsewhere!
The Humane
Society estimates that more than 1 million
animals are abused every year in the United
States, but recognizes this might even be an
undercount. Additionally, various types of animal abuse
are normalized in the U.S., meaning many abusers get
away with their crimes — so we desperately need
new policies that can reduce perpetrators' proximity to
animals in the home. The state of Minnesota has
taken some steps to meaningfully protect
animals from abuse, but its laws are nowhere near strong
enough. Minnesota should follow Illinois's lead by
crafting similar evidence-based legislation to improve
animal welfare and reduce abuse! Sign the petition to
help save innocent animals from lives of
terror. | | |
