The vote for this has been moved to May 13th. Please read this & take action!
*HB 2803 TN Animal Abuser Registration, Verification, & Tracking Act*
*Sponsored by Representatives Sontany, Maggert, West, Briley, Hardaway, & McCormick.*
* As the 105th TN General Assembly prepares to close for the year, the Animal Abuser Registry (HB 2803) is still waiting its turn for a vote in the House. It is a very close count right now and we need your help to get this bill passed and make TN the first state in the country to publicly track felony animal abusers.*
* Without strict intervention, people who abuse and kill animals are more likely to target human victims- and significant percentages are spousal or child abusers. The Humane Society of the United States has worked to pass HB 2803 because it will serve to protect people and pets from violent and dangerous offenders by publicly listing and tracking those convicted of aggravated animal cruelty, felony animal fighting, and bestiality.*
* Take Action! *
*The vote is expected to take place on Thursday, May 8^th . Please make a brief, polite phone call to your TN state representative and urge them to vote "Yes" on HB 2803.
