Strengthen Regulations To Include Any Form of Animal Cruelty in the Registration Act!

Tennessee has created an Animal Abuser Registry that currently includes all felony offenders of animal cruelty. This is a program that should be implemented on a national level but needs to have stronger bearing to stop the many forms of abuse, neglect and cruelty that animals endure on a daily basis.

This new law is aimed at preventing future animal abuse but the current registry is limited to felony animal cruelty offenders. Animal advocates are fearful that this law is not strong enough, saying "In my opinion it's not strong enough to be able to capture the group of people we want to look at, which are the animal abusers; whether it's neglect and abuse or something much more serious."

Animal abusers on all levels whether a felony or misdemeanor, offenders of hoarding or neglect; anyone that mistreats an animal need to be placed on this animal abusers registry. As stated by a spokesperson for the animal advocates, "people who abuse animals still go to shelters and adopt more animals. That's a fact. It's well documented that people who do this progress onto other things like murders and serial killings.” Don’t wait until a felony is committed to save the life and well-being of an animal. Most abuse starts minor but never stops there!

Help us in our efforts to encourage a stronger law involved in this animal abuse registry in Tennessee by signing and sharing this petition. We have got to be a voice for those without one and help to save them from abusers.


Tennessee State Legislators – You need to strengthen your animal abuse registry law. Not only abusers charged with a felony animal cruelty should be on this registry but anyone that has abused an animal in any capacity, whether it is hoarding, puppy mills, dog fights, neglect and all types of abuse and cruelty! Be a voice for those without a voice and save animals from future abuse by punishing all abusers in any category from minor to worse. Whether a misdemeanor or a felony, all violators need to be on that registry and prevented from repeated offenses.
