Nominate Honorees for Next Year's National Justice for Animals Week!

Has your prosecutor or other local law enforcement official taken a strong stand against animal cruelty? Let us know! Submit your nominations for who should be honored during next year’s National Justice for Animals Week!

From insisting on long probations requiring that animal abusers not be allowed to own or cohabitate with animals, to creating an Animal Cruelty Prosecution program within the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, the attorneys honored during 2009’s National Justice for Animals Week have gone above and beyond to give real teeth to animal protection laws. Have there been any cases in your community where a prosecutor got real justice for animal victims of crime? Nominations for next year’s National Justice for Animals Week honorees are now open!
