All 50 states have some type of laws concerning Animal Abuse & Cruelty. In most states the abuse is only a misdemeanor but 30 states have realized what a crime this really is and have included felony level statutes for certain forms and kinds of animal abuse. Animal abusers need to be watched carefully for almost every serial killer began experimenting with the abuse of animals.
