“The
signing of the PAWS Act represents a victory for everyone who cares about
animals in our state, and those who have worked tirelessly to champion this
legislation. Now we have stronger penalties and a clear message that if you
abuse an animal there will be serious consequences.
Puppy

happened. Yet now, motivated by those cases, we have taken strong and
continuing steps to prevent it from happening again.”
