For all of you animal lovers: An animal is abused every 10 seconds 10 SECONDS!!! how could we as a community let something like this be tolerated?! It is just flat out disgusting. Currently the following states only see animal cruelty as a misdemeanor.
Arkansas
Colorado
Hawaii
Idaho
Kansas
Maine
Mississippi
Nevada
New Jersey
North Dakota
Ohio
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
Wyoming.
I can guarantee that a large majority of people living in those states own a dog, cat, or horse so how could people who have a pet actually stand by and allow other pets to be harmed? Or how could they live with themselves and harm their own pets themselves? And even worse how can the state allow it to only be punished by a simple slap on the wrist?! I have had animals in my life since the day I was born, my mother does amazing work with a group called HART (https://www.facebook.com/HARTIdaho?fref=ts) nothing is worse to us then a helpless animal being neglected by someone who has the voice, and the power to really make a difference. We wouldn't want child abuse to only be a misdemeanor so why do we let animal abuse be?
