The American Pet Cross is committed to developing the practice
of animal law and the prosecution of animal abusers. Our
Animal Legal Advocate program will partner with the top
law schools in the country to provide both a curriculum
and a specialty in the field of animal law. Our animal legal
advocates will commit a portion of their practice pro bono
to support local attorneys in their prosecution of suspected
animal abusers. Whenever possible, our intent is to work
closely with existing organizations that have already made
great progress in these areas. In addition to supporting
these existing organizations, we will focus on three specific
areas:
- Registered Pet Offenders™-
These are animal abusers who have been charged
and convicted of animal abuse in any form. Our
intention is to make the general public aware of
these individuals via the web, and to
aggressively monitor their future activities
when it comes to animals.
- The Animal Law Pack™- The “Pack”
is a grassroots initiative program
created to promote and develop the current statutes and
regulations concerning animal welfare, and enforce the
punishment of those charged with animal abuse.
- The WatchDog Program™- “WatchDogs”
will be ordinary citizens powered with cell phones,
video recorders, or webcams who document visually
situations of obvious animal neglect and abuse. The WatchDog will
then forward that information to the proper
authorities for further investigation.
