- MS-FACT is a grassroots, non-partisan, political organization seeking to enact reasonable and balanced FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY legislation to protect dogs and cats in Mississippi.
- Mississippi’s existing laws to protect DOGS and CATS are inadequate. What we are asking for is moderate but critical. We seek to provide laws to prosecute those who maliciously torture and abuse DOGS and CATS only.
- Mississippi is one of only four states, and the ONLY southern state without a felony for the worst acts of animal cruelty against dogs and cats.
- Animal cruelty is a predictor and indicator of violent crimes, domestic violence and child abuse. Serial killers and school shooters frequently have histories of abusing animals. Passing a felony animal cruelty law is a crucial step to ensuring safety for entire communities.
- Animal cruelty occurs in Mississippi. Because the current law is weak, even the most heinous crimes against dogs and cats are often not prosecuted, or are only prosecuted as misdemeanors.
- Animal abuse is often linked to domestic abuse because offenders often turn their violent tendencies towards people.
- Anti-cruelty laws act as a deterrent and method of punishment for those individuals who perpetrate the most heinous acts of cruelty against animals. They protect innocent children from violent predators.
- This law will provide law enforcement with a tool to take violent offenders off the streets before they escalate to violence against people.
- The legislation that MS-FACT has drafted provides dogs and cats the same protections already extended to livestock under current Mississippi law.
** The people of Mississippi want animal cruelty to be prosecuted.

This stray kitten was found in Noxubee County and was taken in by Jeanette Unruh. The vet issued a statement that reads: "The kittens upper eyelids has been removed causing irritation to the eyes. Upon examination it was determined that the eyelids had been physically removed most likely by a human using scissors. This has been determined as an act of criminal cruelty." ... This is a serial killer in the making, but Mississippi Farm Bureau does not think this should be a felony offense! Do you?
Taking steps to make a brighter future for Mississippi's cats and dogs!
