LEASH Act Could Create National Animal Abuse Registry
Description
A new federal bill, the LEASH Act, seeks to create a national database tracking convicted animal abusers, inspired by Florida’s successful Dexter’s Law. Designed to stop repeat offenders from moving across state lines, the bill aims to expand state-level systems like Florida’s, which already helps shelters and law enforcement identify dangerous individuals. Advocates are pushing for the federal version to include critical details like photos and birth dates, currently missing from Florida’s system. As the bill moves through the House Judiciary Committee, supporters see it as a vital step toward nationwide animal protection.
