North Dakota: Protect Your Animals!

Urge North Dakota to adopt stricter animal protection legislation.

11/15/12: Voters in North Dakota have rejected Measure 5, a ballot initiative meant to enforce stricter punishments for animal abuse. In light of this fact, let the Governor know that animals deserve our protection, including the full support of the law.

We hear of animal abuse cases all too often: from pigs kept in tiny cages with no room to move around before ultimately being sent to the slaughterhouse to puppies mass-bred for profit and kept in sub-par conditions before they are sold in the puppy mill trade.

While most states in America have strong animal protection laws, North Dakota still stands as one of the few that regularly doesn't prosecute instances of animal abuse. North Dakota is a state in which livestock and agriculture play a huge part, so it's vital that the state strengthen its animal welfare laws to protect against farm animal and pet abuse.

Sign the petition to North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple.  Follow the link below...

Tell North Dakota to get with the times and start protecting its animals!

As of 5:30 PM EST on November 25, we have over 16,000 signatures.  Our goal is 25,000...
16,816 signatures - goal of 25,000
