I’m a little tardy in getting this exciting update posted, but better late than never. A big thank you to everybody who called, wrote letters and emails and spread the word, an effort that lead to the animal torture bill to pass. The law was signed into effect by Governor Beshear on Monday, May the 28th after having passed 90 - 0 in the house and 31 - 2 in the senate. An especially big thanks to the governor and those who gave it such a strong voice in both the house and senate. Kentucky is now not so ridiculously far behind in animal rights legislation.

I’ve gathered HB 58 made it to law a little picked at and modified compared to how it was originally written but not as watered down as it could have been, still strict enough to make a difference.
