Animal Abuse and Cruelty | Penal Code 597 PC

California leads the nation by enacting some of the strictest laws for punishing abuse, cruelty, or abandonment of animals. These laws protect domestic animals, stray animals, wild animals, and farm animals.

There is no doubt that animal cruelty exists and that it should be punished. But, unfortunately, political pressure and activism often lead to hasty police investigations and overly enthusiastic prosecutions. This in turn leads to the unjust accusation of innocent people.

At Progresso Legal Group, we know of these cases and we are confident that we can find the solution. Contact us.
