MICHIGAN RESIDENTS: Please support bills to establish Registry of convicted animal abusers

[momcat]

We have a similar bill pending here in New Jersey. I don't know for sure when it might come up for vote in the legislature but will check when I get back to work. From what I understand, support in favor of the bill is tremendous. A few months back, our legislature passed a bill that allows judges to issue protective orders for pets in domestic violence situations.

After 30 years on the job, I'm going to retire in September. From there I plan to team up with two friends in animal rescue and do legal research for animal welfare. Maybe this can be my contribution to improving the quality of life for animals everywhere.

Michigan - go for it!!!

That would be wonderful if New Jersey would enact similar legislation! And Elyse is going to contact her state legislator in Illinois too. How good would that be if these efforts caught on across the nation! (And in other nations too.. )

And thank you so much, Eileen, for your post-retirement plans of putting your skills to work on behalf of the animals. God bless you!
