Thanks to Law Enforcement and Squeaky-Wheel Citizens

Despite how disheartening the increases in animal cruelty have been, one good thing is that there are more laws protecting them now and more law enforcement being given latitude to get the bad guys (and girls). Never underestimate how important it is to tell your local legislators that you expect animal cruelty to be met with stiff penalties and jail.

Enjoy; I hope this balances the post on animal cruelty last week. It made me have a better day.
