JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – 2010 could be the year where a compromise is
worked out and felony animal abuse legislation is passed in
Mississippi.

Farm Bureau, which has killed the proposed laws in the past, says it
is willing to support laws which only deal with dogs and cats.

Mississippi is one of only four states in the nation which do not have
felony animal abuse laws. There is plenty of animal abuse in this
state

A puppy mill was broken up recently in Lee County in northeast
Mississippi. There have been dog fighting arrests and WLBT gets
numerous complaints about animal abuse.
