STATE LEGISLATION

 

Animal Protection Voters is dedicated to the passage of stronger animal protection laws for all of New Mexico. Although our state legislature is only in session for a short time each year, we work year round to ensure that a strong voice for the animals is heard at the state capitol.


Animal Cruelty Task Force (ACT)

In 2008, the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office is seeking an appropriation of $160,000 for ACT for: law enforcement education about animal cruelty; investigation and prevention of animal cruelty; apprehension and prosecution of violators.

 
 

Assistance with Bear-Proofing Communities

In 2008, $75,000 in capital outlay is being sought for equipment and receptacles that lead to bear-proof communities.

 
 

Beaver Mitigation Equipment

In 2008, $25,000 in capital outlay funds are being sought to purchase beaver mitigation equipment to address numerous complaints reported each year.

 
 

Community Animal Shelters &
Spay-Neuter Facilities

In 2008, $2.9M in capital outlay funds are being sought to improve conditions at seven New Mexico animal shelters.
