What animal services officials think should be done with those who intentionally harm pets

SALT LAKE CITY Animal welfare advocates with Salt Lake County Animal Services are calling for harsher criminal penalties for those who intentionally injure animals after a dog was kidnapped last month and lit on fire. Dixie s Law, named for a 4-year-old red heeler that died days after getting taken by a family member s ex-boyfriend, would allow for enhanced penalties for premeditated animal abuse cases, said Salt Lake County Animal Services Director Talia Butler. And ideally, where there is time served by that person for the crime they committed, she said. It would also allow animal services to remove all animals from a home when an owner is found to have abused one animal, she said. Utah law now only allows the abused animal to be taken from the home.
