What You Can Do

Contact your local Senator and/or Representative and let them know that you are behind Henry's Bill becoming Henry's Law NEXT YEAR!

You can do this by making a quick, polite phone call to your state representative and your state senator and urge them to support legislation with a felony penalty for the FIRST offense of animal torture. Animal cruelty is a violent crime that should result in a serious penalty, and since very few perpetrators of animal cruelty are charged twice, it is critical that this felony penalty apply to the first offense.

Making a phone call is simple - you will speak with a staff person who can take your message and pass it along to your legislator. You can say:

"Hello, my name is [your name] and I am calling from [your town] to urge [Senator/Representative] to vote YES on legislation to make the torture of an animal a felony, on the FIRST offense. Animal cruelty is a violent crime that should result in a serious penalty. Thank you."

After you make your calls, send a follow-up email to your legislators to reiterate your support for stronger animal cruelty laws in Utah.

Be sure to tell your friends and family in Utah right away about this issue and what they can do to help.
