Washington state legislation on animal cruelty

S.B. 5352 and H.B. 1304 are in the Washington state legislature right now. The bills would make animal cruelty in the first degree a class C felony (right now it's a misdemeanor).

If you live outside of Washington state, you can e-mail and call the WA state legislators. When legislators know a law is gaining a national spotlight, it can help. If you're a resident of Washington state, you can target your letters and calls to your legislators - and they DO make a difference.
