    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

    YAY! I sure hope more states follow suit!! Animal cruelty needs to be treated as the horrendous crime/felony that it is!!

    That's awsome that you're going to visit Pasado's Safe Haven. Are you going for one of those seminars?? I would love to do that someday. Do take lots and lots of pics and fill us in in detail on your experience there!!
    **hugs**

    I heard about that last week also (which is what made me think about the whole Pasado thing again)
    I have not heard if they have found the person yet :conf
    I DO KNOW however that they have said he/she will be charged with a felony!

    Animal lovers in Arkansas are also fighting to make animal cruelty a felony. It's going to take a lot of work, but I hope we win!

    to add a note

    Besides the obvious creulty and senselessness in hurting animals, people who do these sorts of things are likely to eventually take it a step further, and hurt people. Get the pyschos off the streets, I say. Let the innocent creatures live their lives in peace!

    Very true! Most serial killers started with animals

    Yorkster,

    Hi. Just wondering if you got to go to Pasado's Safe Haven,
    and if you have any updates to post, pictures, etc.? Also have
    you been following the story on Freckles the dog? I have and
    the last update was dated July 11th. Sure hope they nail that
    man in Freckles case. What a monster, he's even poisoned his
    small children's minds to believe that cruelty to animals is as
    natural as breathing

    In what part of the state is the city/town of Chelan ? Thanks.

    I agree with everyone here 100%. The laws on animal cruelty need to be changed NOW!!! Animal cruelty has reached astronomical proportions.

    The case in CT is still continuing. The next hearing for the cat murderer and her accomplices is scheduled for August 16th. I'm grateful that I'll still be in town for it. I HOPE she gets sentenced that day, but I highly doubt it. Lawyers are notorious for playing "continuance" games. Doesn't matter though, cuz I'll be in that chick's face and all over the news.

    NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE!!!!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!

    I have not made it out to Pasados Safe Haven yet (been REALLY busy with sick animals and putting in a garden/yard at our house).
    For sure planning on it soon, and will definately post pics!

    Lizbud, Chelen is about 150-200 miles east of the Seattle area. It is east of the Cascade mountain range and the climate there is completely different- hot & dry.
    I will find out the latest on poor Freckles.
    What is WRONG with people??!
