Alaska, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, and Utah are the five best states in the country to be an animal abuser, according to a new report released today by the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF). Based on a detailed comparative analysis of more than 2,800 pages of statutes, tracking 14 distinct categories of provisions, the report recognizes the states where laws protecting animals have real teeth, and calls out those like Kentucky — the single worst in the nation this year for animal protection laws — where animal abusers get off easy. The annual report, the only one of its kind in the nation, ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia for the general comprehensiveness and relative strength of their respective animal protection laws.
