Why Is Idaho One Of The Worst States For Animal Protection Laws?

We love Idaho. The people are kind, the scenery is second-to-none, and the food is incredible. However, it seems like Idaho doesn't love its wildlife so much, if these statistics are anything to go by.

Idaho ranked as the third-worst state in the country for animal protection laws.

How is this possible? According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, there's numerous reasons:

Idaho earned its 48th spot in the rankings because state lawmakers have yet to pass a number of important protections. For example, Idaho does not have any law requiring veterinarians or social service workers to report suspected animal cruelty, despite the fact that those professions are more likely to encounter animal cruelty in their work. Additionally, Idaho does not have any law prohibiting convicted animal cruelty offenders from owning or residing with an animal following their conviction.

Well, it looks like we have a lot of work to do here in Idaho when it comes to protecting our animals and wildlife.

Oregon, Massachusetts, and Maine ranked in the top three spots on the list.
