🚨BREAKING: Rep. Greg Steube Files LEASH Act to Permanently Ban Felony Animal Abusers from Owning Pets
Florida Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has introduced the LEASH Act, legislation designed to stop convicted felony animal abusers from ever owning or caring for animals again.
The bill would create a nationwide, publicly accessible database of felony animal cruelty offenders to prevent repeat abuse and enhance public safety.
“Animal cruelty is barbaric and too often ignored,” Steube said. “This bill holds offenders accountable and protects animals from repeat abuse.”
Common sense legislation that puts animal welfare first.
