Bill with bite sought


By SHANE SCARA


Animal rights groups across Mississippi will submit two pieces of
legislation aimed at putting some bite in the state's animal cruelty law.

Some lawmakers say they are receptive, but only if the laws meet
Mississippians' needs.



The Legislature convenes Jan. 6, and will have two animal cruelty bills to
consider. The proposals were written by the Concerned Citizens for Animals
(CCFA) and the Mississippi Humane Legislative Coalition (MHLC).

According to CCFA spokeswoman Terri Mitchell, the writers of the CCFA
proposal sat down with state legislators to discuss the most acceptable
changes to make.

Sandy McWilliams, the president of the Lucedale chapter of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), backs the MHLC initiative.

MHLC was founded by 40 organizations throughout Mississippi.

McWilliams said it is not a perfect law, but it will add a felony provision
to the animal cruelty law already on the books. The lack of stiff penalties
hinders law enforcement, she said.

Currently in Mississippi, the maximum penalty for such acts is $1,000 and a
possible six-month jail term.

Mississippi is one of nine states with no felony provision in its animal
cruelty statute.

"The problem we're facing in Lucedale is that they can't just spend a lot of
time and money on this when the penalty is only going to be a thousand
dollars," McWilliams said.

To convict someone on a misdemeanor, it is necessary for someone to sign a
written affidavit or give testimony as an eyewitness. To convict on felony
charges the case can be put together by detectives when they find enough
evidence, she said.

Mitchell said their proposal provides for varying degrees of animal cruelty
or neglect. A person may be convicted of animal abuse in the first or second
degree, or first-degree aggravated animal abuse or animal abandonment.

Mitchell said that the present law was a "patchwork mess" that has been
overthrown in the Mississippi Supreme Court, which has termed the statute
vague.

Despite a recent spate of incidents of animal abuse and neglect, lawmakers
are skeptical about jumping on the bandwagon. They say they wish to ensure
the best interest of their constituents is protected.

"Some strengthening might be warranted, but I wouldn't propose the death
penalty," said District 109 Rep. Frank Hamilton.

The state senator for District 52, Tommy Moffatt, cautions against quick
decisions. Quick decisions, he said, lead to time spent correcting mistakes.

"That's what we are here for, to make sure the laws are meeting the needs of
the people," Moffatt said.

Deryk Parker, the District 107 representative, said that he must balance the
strength of the law with the rights of his constituency.

"I will take a look at it and see what they're proposing," Parker said. "But
I don't want it if it imposes on the rights of the hunters."
 
 
Does It Seem The AR Coerce Laws For The Benefit Of Their Agenda But Ignore The Law When It Doesn't Benefit Their Agenda?
 
Activists may be charged in bear incident

TRENTON, NJ - New Jersey wildlife officials said charges may be filed
against activists who are attempting to rehabilitate a female bear wounded
in this month's bear hunt.

The anti-hunt activists need a license to handle a bear, said Amy Cradic,
spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Protection.

She said "enforcement action will be taken" if officials determine that the
group is feeding or handling the bear.

Group members who wish to remain anonymous admit they are feeding and
medicating the bear without the needed licenses, according to a report
Wednesday in The Star-Ledger newspaper.
