Katherine Power | Support HB1438

I support this bill because it protects the voiceless. If a mental health clinician observes animal cruelty, it should be mandatory for them to report it, just as it is for child abuse. The animal should not be the voiceless victim. Currently animal abuse isn’t reported due to breach of confidentiality., but this leaves the animal at risk. Please help animals escape abuse by supporting this legislation. Thank you.
