"I Fought Cruelty!"

Corie Pritchard, Kansas

Asked City Council to Toughen Up Animal Laws

It all started when my neighbor began tying his boxer puppy outside for endless hours without food, water or shelter. I filed an animal cruelty/neglect complaint with the local police department, but after seeing the same thing happening to other dogs in my community, I decided to take it a step further. This April, I go before the city council of Eudora, KS, to request that an anti-tether law and tougher animal cruelty laws be added to our community ordinances. This has been a remarkable journey for me.
