HELP
FIGHT ANIMAL ABUSE IN MISSISSIPPI!
The bill
to make animal abuse a felony has now been filed and is
Senate Bill # 2623.
Our Senate Bill is here! Please support SB2623, sponsored
by Senator Hewes! Please contact YOUR Senator and ask
him/her to support this bill when it comes to the floor
for a vote.
If your Senator is on the Judiciary B Committee in the
MS Senate PLEASE politely let him/her know that SB2623
will be brought up in committee and you would like support
to bring it out of committee as quickly as possible.
It is VERY important that we let ALL of the Senators
know that we want this bill to pass the Senate quickly
so that it can be taken up in the House. That message
is best received by Senators when they are contacted by
someone who lives IN THEIR DISTRICT! If you are unsure
about who your senator is please go to www.ms-fact.org
and click on the "how you can help" link. There
are instructions there for finding your Senator.

A
Cat's Prayer |
I
ask for the privilege of not being born
...not to be born until you can assure me
a home and a master to protect me, and the
right to live as long as I am physically able
to enjoy life.
...not to be born until my body is
precious and men have ceased to exploit it
because it is cheap and plentiful.

Please
contact your local animal control officer if you suspect that
horses or other livestock are being abused or neglected. If your
county doesn't have an animal control officer just call your local
sheriff or police department. If the dispatcher tells you there
is nothing they can do, which some have done in the past, ask
to speak to the shift sergeant or deputy in charge. If the owner
needs to get rid of the horse but is unable to for any reason,
they can contact one of the following rescue agencies and surrender
the animal. A person will not be charged with animal cruelty if
the animal is willingly surrendered. Listed below are links to
