Susie's Law

Did you know that in the state of North Carolina Animal Cruelty is a Class I felony? This means that any convicted animal abusers only serve a very minimal sentence. There is a group of citizens who are trying to change this and, as a pup, I think that is a great cause. Susie is a pup who was found alive in a park in Greensboro after being brutally beaten, doused in gasoline and set on fire. Though, she had a broken jaw, multiple broken teeth and 2nd & 3rd degree burns over 60% of her body, Susie survived. She is quite a miracle pup! The man who did all of these horrible things to Susie only received 5 months of probation, not a bit of jail time. In North Carolina, the burning of personal property is a Class H felony and carries an active prison sentence. So, the man who did this to her could have burned a couch and received a harsher punishment. Her new adopted mama started the Susie's law movement to change this. Do you want to help them? The best way to stay up to date with everything that they are doing is to join their Facebook Page. It's a favorite on the All Wags page, so you can find them there. If you are interested in volunteering, you can email them at Charlotte4Susie@gmail.com.  I hope we can all find a way to help!
