Animals are poor defenseless beings who cannot speak out for their own protection. That’s why it is so important that people like you stand up to protect them.
Under New Mexico laws, a person who intentionally or maliciously kills, tortures, mutilates, injures or poisons an animal can be found guilty of a fourth-degree felony. However, a statewide animal cruelty registry could protect even more innocent animals from abuse and neglect.

Animal Cruelty Registry in New Mexico
Like public registries for child abusers and sex offenders, those who abuse and neglect animals should face serious, lifetime implications.
Any person convicted of animal abuse, cruelty or abandonment of any sort needs to be listed on this registry. To be accurate, the abuser’s information needs to be updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, any person listed on this database should remain there for a lifetime and be banned from any future animal ownership or working with or caring for animals.
Encourage New Mexico to implement and strictly enforce an animal cruelty registry that will help to protect these voiceless, defenseless animals statewide -- sign and share this petition.
