Analysis: Miss. animal welfare bill arises for ’11
It’s not a felony in Mississippi to set a dog on fire or to grind up glass and mix it into a cat’s food.
Some legislators, including Democratic Sen. Bob Dearing of Natchez, have tried for several years to strengthen the state laws against the torture and maiming of dogs and cats, only to see bills pass the Senate and die in the House.
Dearing and others say they’ll try again in 2011.
