Animal protection laws in the United States vary widely from one state to the next, and the Humane Society of the United States just issued a ranking. California tops the list with New Jersey coming in at #2. Third place is a three-way tie between Colorado, Maine and Massachusetts.
And here are the cellar dwellers; the states where animal abusers get a free pass: Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio and South Dakota.
There’s much hope for rapid improvement in Ohio. If the Ohioans for Humane Farms initiative passes in November, Ohio could rapidly become a top-tier state in animal protection. Link.
