  • Know the Laws.
    Humane Care for Animals Act
    House Bill 2946 - New Law Affects Felons With Dogs

  • Report animal crimes to the police:
    1. Demand a predictable, effective response.
    2. Advise ATAC of the effectiveness of the police response.

  • Demand that the IL Humane Care for Animals Act be included in the state mandated police training curriculum.

  • Donate to humane agencies that support animal cruelty investigations by law enforcement exclusively.

  • Ask of Humane Agencies:
    1. What constitutes an investigation;
    2. Was an arrest made? If so, what charge was brought;
    3. Was the animal confiscated? If so, under what conditions will the animal be kept during the course of the often times lengthy legal process?
