Commend Senator for Strengthening Animal Neglect Laws

"Many states have animal cruelty laws that are far too lenient. Individuals who harm animals via unlawful neglect should be punished to the full extent of the law. Commend one senator for strengthening his state’s animal neglect laws.

 

Nebraska legislators recently passed a bill that will enable judges to impose stricter criminal penalties on individuals convicted of animal neglect. The previous penalties were too lenient to dissuade perpetrators of animal neglect from repeating their unlawful crimes. Senator Ernie Chambers needs to be commended for introducing and fighting for legislation that strives to protect animals."
