Approximately 10 years ago I and a another citizen of Ocean Springs took it upon ourselves to collect thousands of signatures to change these laws. We took them to Jackson and roamed the halls contacting as many of the movers and shakers we could to get this passed. My friend managed to find Jeff Smith, the chair at the time of Judiciary B. When she presented the petition to him, he refused to even look at it and told her that as long as he was the chair, the laws were not going to change. The fact that the latest bill was killed is not surprising. The reasoning as quoted is not surprising. These people year after year do and say the same damn thing. I don't think enough emphasis is being made to make people aware that a first offense cruelty to livestock is a felony. Reply to this
