A bill that would strengthen New Mexico’s animal anti-cruelty laws recently passed the state’s Senate Public Affairs Committee. Now we need to make sure this crucial bill is approved by the Judiciary Committee, and gets to the full Senate for a vote!
The current wording of New Mexico’s current anti-cruelty statute has made it difficult to obtain convictions in some clear-cut cases of cruelty to animals. S.B. 348 will remedy this serious problem and make sure offenders convicted of extreme cruelty to animals receive felony punishments and undergo psychological counseling.
