Please call your House Representative right now and ask him/her to VOTE YES on SB 762 and inquire on what his/her position on the bill is. Please report back to us on what you hear!

You can find your State Representative at this link.
Unfortunately perpetrators of animal torture and abuse in our state are often given a slap on the wrist. The FBI now tracks animal cruelty offenses and the link between animal cruelty and domestic violence is well documented. The last time the Texas Animal Cruelty Statute was revised was in 2007 -- and the time to strengthen the law is now!

When animals are safe from harm, communities are safer. Thank you for speaking for the voiceless!
