Today is animal action Day in Kentucky.
Members of Arrow Fund, a nonprofit that rescues abused and neglected animals, joined students from Assumption High School's humane action team to argue for more legislation to protect animals.
In Kentucky.
Speaking to the fact that we have so many shelters that are having to make the decision to euthanize young, innocent animals is something that we can change.
We can do that.
And all of these animals that are there, they deserve love.
They deserve hope.
They deserve that second chance as well.
And so I think it's important that we teach responsible pet ownership rights to our youth, to others in the community, to your peers.
House Bill 253 deals with animal control officers and requires them to receive training on child abuse.
House Bill 258 Redefines torture of animals and makes torture of a dog or cat a Class D felony for every offense.
It passed in the House 82 nine.
