13 Jun US States and Counties Introduce Registers of Animal Abusers

Animal welfare has become an increasingly familiar notion in today’s world.

Though shocking acts of animal cruelty do still occur – sometimes on a large scale – it would be fair to say that our society is far more enlightened and aware of such behaviour than previous generations.

Though some might consider the plight of animals a secondary concern, there is surely no reason for the extended suffering of the creatures with which we share planet Earth, particularly at the hands of humans.

Celebrities – perhaps most notably Ricky Gervais – have done much to raise awareness of animal cruelty and its perpetrators, though clearly there is still much to be done to protect animals that are relatively hapless in the hands of their human owners.

It would seem that the United States has taken steps to improve the ways in which animal abusers are monitored, after reports emerged that an ever increasing number of states and counties are introducing an official registry on animal abusers.
