AZ Needs Better Emergency Animal Welfare Response Laws And Follow Through

“We've had many instances where we've called the police and the Arizona Humane,” Hoffman said. “They'll come out and they'll assess the situation, and they leave. And the animal stays in the horrific situation.”

 

AZ needs to empower and fund better emergency and abuse response for animals in distress and abuse situations. This has been a known problem for a long time. This requires new laws, more funding, and a reorganization of those who should be empowered to do the investigations, rescue, seizures of distressed animals, transport, communications, medical care, and public relations. 

 

I recommend contacting State Senator John Kavanagh, (R) District, office. He has been a consistent animal welfare champion, and has “previously gotten animal protection laws passed, and he plans to bring more to the next legislative session.” Legislators need public support to see proposed legislation become law. Write or call his office and offer your support.
