Animal Cruelty a Felony in Washington State

Animal Cruelty a felony in Washington State.............
It's a FELONY in the state of Washington to intentionally abuse &/or kill an animal (so worded for cattle ranchers, dairy farms, egg farms, and research labs to avoid charges)
But it's a step in the right direction!

Here is the case that led to this happening in 1992 (it actually took almost 2 years for the bill to go through):

Also, here is the home-page for Pasado's Safe Haven, along with info and help with starting animal rescues and safe havens in other states:

I am going to visit sometime next month, and will post some pics

Oh! I remember the Pasado case........so sad and angry.
I was not aware there was a sanctuary, so thanks for letting me/us know. I will have to drive up there some time, and it's so close!
