The bill was was well-meaning; it began as an attempt to create
>a registry of animal abusers.
Many states like Tennessee and New York are turning to this as a solution to prevent animals abuse, but it also serves the dual purpose of
>identifying violence against children, families and future killers of humans.
Anthropologist Margaret Mead worked extensively to understand the
>link between animal abuse and human on human abuse.
Mead was one of the first researchers to conclude that
>cruelty to animals from children could be a precursor to future violence.
>In 1964, she wrote:
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it… [as] such children, diagnosed early, could be helped instead of being allowed to embark on a long career of episodic violence and murder.”
The bill has passed the Senate, but the state House still has an opportunity to strip the unconstitutional provision. Republican Senator Rick Jones is urging his colleagues to refrain from doing so because it could put
>a crucial bill to protect animals
in jeopardy.
“The minute I cross that line and I start talking about the other stuff, I won’t even get another hearing. It’ll be done,” Rep. Jones explained to The New Civil Rights Movement.
“Nobody wants to touch it. I would rather not even bring up the topic, because I know what would happen. You’d get both sides screaming and you end up with a big fight that’s not needed because it’s unconstitutional…
>If we could put a bill in that said anything that’s unconstitutional be removed from the legal books of Michigan, that’s probably something I could vote for, but am I going to mess up this dog bill that everybody wants? No.”
Logan’s Law is named after a Siberian Husky that died tragically after
>having acid intentionally poured over him.
