There is no question that Pennsylvanians are animal lovers, but our ancient and often confusing laws relating to animals make it difficult for those who want to protect them to do so.
The average Pennsylvanian doesn't know the nuances of when to contact the Bureau of Dog Law vs. a humane police officer vs. animal control.
I am inviting you to join me in making this process easier for our constituents while also ensuring suspected animal cruelty is investigated promptly and properly by establishing a statewide hotline under the State Police to collect complaints of animal cruelty and refer them to the correct agency.
