Wisconsin?????

A new Florida law took effect this week that requires the state to maintain a public database of people convicted of or who pleaded guilty to aggravated animal cruelty charges. "Dexter's Law" was named for a dog adopted from a shelter and killed just days later.

The database, now live on the Florida Department of Law Enforcement website, lists 1,668 names and will be updated monthly with information from local agencies.

It can be accessed here: https://web.fdle.state.fl.us/dexter/about.jsf

By knowing the right lies to tell and which truths to omit, convicted animal abusers can potentially acquire animals from people who lack access to valuable information to help them make better, more informed choices. An “Animal Abuser Registry,” modeled on laws now protecting children, strips abusers of this advantage by requiring those convicted of cruelty and cruelty-related offenses to register with the state.

The No Kill Advocacy Center has model legislation for individuals seeking to enact a similar law in their city, county, or state: https://nokilladvocacycenter.org/the-toolkit/the-prevention-of-cruelty-to-animals-act.

Quick reminder ! If you live in a classic winter weather area and your pets go outside - the salt on the roads and sidewalks is toxic to them. Many pets lick it off their paws because it burns and strings. But then they ingest it!

If your pet goes on public roads or walkways wash their paws when they come in. This includes cats!
