Animal Cruelty Ballot Initiative
 
A petition for a ballot initiative to increase the penalty for cruelty to dogs, cats or horses to a Class C felony is in circulation in North Dakota.
 
HSUS, an outside animal rights organization known for its anti-ag and anti-hunting efforts, is backing a ballot initiative regarding animal cruelty in North Dakota. Their plan protects only three species of animals and fails to include the most common forms of abuse.
 
The NDSA does not believe in animal abuse, but does not support HSUS.
 
The NDSA does not think this plan is the right answer for North Dakota and is working with partners on a better, more comprehensive solution that protects all animals - and those who do right by them.
