Based on the success of the drastic changes the state of Ohio has made in the exotic animal ownership regulations, their platform for change is one to model. Ohio was once a state with no restrictions on exotic animal ownership prior to the 2011 incidence of Terry Thompson, who set free his exotic animal farm of fifty plus animals before committing suicide. This incident pushed the already in question exotic pet ownership regulations into national limelight. Our task force has researched the current restrictions and the process of implementing them along with the undesirable potential side effects of these new laws. With this information, we were prepared to present a solid foundation for the state of Missouri to create a new movement in the exotic pet

The law now holds both the owner and landlords accountable for just the one specific breed of dog creating complications for many families and many animal shelters. Families are being torn apart under this new law causing them to have to make

Thesis statement: Dog breed-specific legislation should be lifted in Colorado cities because such a repeal would save money wasted on enforcement, increase public safety, and spare innocent dogs of improper care and even death.

Imagine you are a proud dog owner, having adopted a puppy from a local rescue not knowing what breed your new “bundle of joy” is. As your puppy turns into an adult, it becomes obvious that your dog is a mix or full-bred American Pit Bull Terrier. You run into trouble moving into certain communities, ranging from neighborhoods with homeowners associations to apartment complexes. Even your insurance company is placing regulations and additional fees on you based solely on the breed of your dog. If you are living in a town that places a law forbidding your dog’s breed following a high profile dog bite case, you face the problem of having to move or the possibility for your dog to be seized and possibly euthanized.

Imagine someone has just moved to a different town and the townspeople decide that the person that just came to town is a threat, so the town creates rules that say the new person is not allowed to do certain things or go to certain places. This is how I suspect the following dog breeds feel nowadays: Pit Bull, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Jack Russell Terrier, Spaniel, Collie, Saint Bernard, and Labrador Retriever. I feel strongly for our furry friends and when I found out about this legislation I wanted it shut down completely. Dog Breed Specific Legislation is a problem that not many people know that and I wanted to make it known to hopefully help stop

Rotting flesh, burning skin, chopping toes, cutting tails, and slicing ears are all forms of body modifications performed on those without a voice. Animals of all kinds are subjected to these awful treatments nationally and internationally on a daily basis in animal clinics and households alike. Some argue that these modifications aid owners in identification and allow them to provide their pets with a warm and loving home. Although there is truth to this claim, new research and further developments have formulated better ways to keep animals safe and identified. Therefore, animals should not be subjects to this abuse. Rather, they should be protected against body modifications through the use of federal law as they inflict unnecessary

Each year, the most extreme cases of animal abuse receive media attention. Yet, the animal cruelty problem is more widespread than is reported in the media. Animal abuse and neglect is a nationwide issue, affecting thousands of animals nationwide. Cruelty to animals is defined as the infliction of physical pain, suffering or death on an animal, beyond what is necessary. There is a need to stop abusers from acting in such a horrific manner–preventing the neglect and suffering of the animals. What causes animal abusers to act in such a cruel way towards animals? How are cases of animal abuse being managed, and how should cases be handled? Finally, does the status of animals in society contribute to the rate of their abuse?
