MS Felony Animal Cruelty is Dead | Animal Law Coalition

This bill, after a near-unanimous Senate vote, died in House committee this week. This leaves Mississippi, along with Idaho, N. Dakota and S. Dakota, as the only states in the union to have no felony designation for animal cruelty.

Though the bill was crafted to specifically target abuse of dogs and cats, it was lobbyists for farmers that killed this bill. Here's the link for the bill SB2623 (As Passed the Senate) - 2010 Regular Session

So now those that set cats on fire, super glue puppies eyes shut and pour acid on dogs (these are all things that have happened here recently) can sleep well tonight, knowing that a slap on the wrist is all they'll get.
