Help Us Make Utah Number 44

Currently, 43 states have felony provisions in place for those who intentionally abuse animals. Our goal is to make Utah the 44th state.

The current law in Utah carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $2500.00 fine for torturing an animal. Help us substantially increase these penalties.

This is an outrage--cruelty is cruelty, whether it is directed to an animal or a human! Animals are family members, no different (in a lot of people's eyes) than a human family member. A simple slap on the wrist (or turning your head all together) when someone is cruel to an animal is the same as saying this cruelty is OK. It is NOT.
