Without this law, convicted animal abusers can obtain animals through legitimate channels and continue to abuse them.  An Animal Abuse Registry Law would post the name, address, and photo of anyone convicted of animal abuse to an online registry.  Pet sellers, shelters, rescue groups, and individuals would have to check the registry before allowing anyone to have an animal.  It would be a crime to turn an animal over to anyone on the registry.

The League of Humane Voters - LOHV - would like to see this law passed locally and at state levels throughout the country.  Your signature gives us more strength when demanding that this law be passed.  Please sign here and visit: www.lohv.org
