SB 297, the bill that makes the deliberate torture of a cat or dog a third-degree felony on the first offense and leaves the current animal cruelty code intact, HAS PASSED IN BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES! Utah has become the 44^th state in America to have a felony-level animal protection law on the books!

Independent polls showed that the majority of Utahns wanted a law with some teeth in it, and we finally have it because YOU CONTACTED YOUR LEGISLATORS. This bill could not have gone through without the huge outpouring of public feedback you gave your lawmakers on the issues.

Thanks to each and every one of you who showed your caring and concern by letting your legislators know how you felt about the animal-related bills introduced in this year’s session — thanks from the Humane Society of Utah, and THANKS FROM THE ANIMALS. You’ve made a massive difference for them.

		Thanks to all of you for your help.
