California: Support Public Registry for Animal Abusers!

If passed, SB 1277 (http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_1251-1300/sb_1277_bill_20100219_introduced.html) would require criminals convicted of felony cruelty to animals to be listed on a public registry. Requiring convicted animal abusers to register would prevent countless animals from being abused by alerting law enforcement and the public to their whereabouts and by allowing animal shelters to thoroughly screen potential adopters for criminal histories.

Please make a brief polite call or e-mail to your state representative and senator and urge them to support SB 1277. Click here to look up phone numbers for your state legislators (http://192.234.213.69/lmapsearch/framepage.asp).
