Who Are YOU Going to Call?
Act TODAY so that THEIR Tomorrows will be better
Animal neglect & cruelty laws are minimally enforced in many places in Pennsylvania, especially our rural areas. Shelters can not afford to hire agents, they are non-profit organizations. Humane Officers are being laid off. Local and State Police are not trained, nor have the facilities to take in needy animals.
We Need the Public’s Help!
Amend PA Humane Enforcement (APHE) is a diverse group of individuals, e.g. humane officers, private rescues, shelters, and private citizens, who truly care about the health and welfare of the non-human animals that reside within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are dedicated to amending 5511 specifically as it relates to the training and hiring of humane officers so that the enforcement of 5511 will become uniform statewide and all complaints of animal abuse and neglect will be housed in a central data base so that their disposition can be tracked, thereby, ensuring accountability.
APHE wants to introduce a bill that to include the following:
1. PLACE HUMANE OFFICERS UNDER STATE POLICE
2. TRAINING TO INCLUDE ACT 120 PLUS ANIMAL SPECIFIC TRAINING
3. STATE REPOSITORY FOR ALL ANTI-CRUELTY CALLS WITH ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT HAVING ACCESS
4. SIX STATE SHELTERS TO HOUSE SEIZED ANIMALS AND STRAYS
5. FUNDED BY ONE CENT SALES TAX ON PET PRODUCT
