Lawmakers out to toughen animal abuse laws in Rhode Island

We need everyone's support to urge their representatives to pass HB-5522 SubA and SB-92 SubA with more powerful language. Alone we can do little but together there is nothing we cannot do. This is the time for all of us to come together and finally speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Together we can truly make a long overdue difference. The passage of this bill will put Rhode Island on the map as being a state that will not tolerate animal abuse. Too many people have worked too hard and for too long for this not to pass. Your voices will be the voices of those who depend on each of us for their safety, please do not let them down in the 11th hour. 

Please email your Senator and Representative in the General Assembly voicing your support of this bill.

EJ Finocchio, DVM
President, Rhode Island SPCA
