Dog's view of the Capitol

According to the ASPCA blog…Hard work by legislators, the animal welfare community and animal advocates helped bring many wonderful state-level bills over the finish line in 2009. Many states continued to pass anti-animal fighting laws, multiple states passed laws to restrict tethering, increase penalties for intentional acts of animal cruelty and allow pets to be included in court-issued orders of protection.

Check out details on all the passed laws and see what kind of progress your state made. The full list is on the ASPCA website HERE.
