PETITION TARGET: New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy

Moose the dog was left to die in a hot car after being taken from his home in New Jersey and sold by his abductor — a woman who also worked with other dogs as a novice dog trainer, according to local news. This tragedy inspired legislation that could help protect animals in New Jersey from falling into the hands of people convicted of animal cruelty: “Moose’s Law.”

If passed, Moose’s Law would prohibit individuals convicted of animal cruelty from having animals. It would also ban convicted abusers from working or volunteering with animals directly.

The legislation also requires convicted animal abusers to transfer any animals they have to the care of a licensed shelter or to someone who lives in a different location from the offender.

This law would be a critical step toward protecting vulnerable animals from convicted abusers.

Sign our petition urging New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to support “Moose’s Law” to better safeguard animals from people convicted of animal cruelty.
