Justice for Animals Week
The ALDF files high-impact lawsuits to protect animals from harm, provides free legal assistance and training to prosecutors in their fight against animal cruelty, supports animal protection legislation, and provides resources and opportunities to law students and professionals to advance the field of animal law.
From animals used in research to captive animals and farm animals, wildlife and companions.
The Crows are this year's representatives.
I found this topic timely as just last week, a man who was convicted of animal cruelty in 2015, was denied parole. He was sentenced to 28 years, the maximum under Nevada law. His acts were torturous, brutal - someone who is a danger not only to animals at this point. But he will, eventually, be released.
Nevada ranks in the middle for animal protection laws. The five best are:
Oregon, Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois and Colorado.
The five worst are:
Mississippi, Kentucky, Idaho, Alabama, and North Dakota in last.
"Every state and territory has room for improvement," says Senior Staff Attorney Kathleen Wood.
