Eileen Day for Congress

See reality before breeding.

Save the date! Something exciting is coming. 🐾

North Texas Giving Day launches its North Texas Gives to Animals campaign on Thursday, May 14, and Texas Humane Network is proud to participate! This regional campaign supports organizations working to improve the lives of animals across North Texas.

As a small nonprofit organization focused on education, training, and outreach, every donation helps us continue expanding programs that strengthen understanding of animal welfare issues and animal protection laws.

From educational resources to law enforcement training opportunities, your support helps us continue creating safer and more humane outcomes for animals through awareness and education.

Plus, the first $100,000 in online donations during the campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to The Gigi Gartner Charitable Foundation Fund and Communities Foundation of Texas, helping your support go even further for animals!

We hope you’ll join us from May 14 through the 31st!

❓IS ANIMAL CRUELTY A FEDERAL FELONY❓

ONLY in about 1% of the abuse cases we see!!!

🚫I see posts everywhere saying "Animal cruelty is now a federal felony with 7 years in prison!"

While posted with good intentions and technically true, it is NOT entirely true—it only represents 1% of the cases that are out there.

There is a HUGE catch that every citizen and animal advocate needs to know.

The PACT Act (the federal law) is a massive win, but it is actually very narrow. It was designed as a "safety net" to stop extreme torture—like "crush videos"—that happens on federal property or crosses state lines.

⚖️ 99% of animal abuse cases stay at the STATE level.

That means if a neighbor is neglecting or beating their dog, if a local shelter is inhumane, or if someone abandons a pet, the FBI isn't coming. See a few examples in the image below.

Local police, animal control, and STATE laws are the frontline.

🧑‍⚖️ If your state has weak animal cruelty laws, abusers many times either get cases dismissed or only get a "slap on the wrist" misdemeanor.

➡️ So, what can YOU do? ⬅️

- Don’t wait for the Feds.

- REPORT local abuse to your local Animal Control or Sheriff immediately.

- KNOW your State Laws. Check if your state classifies abuse, neglect or hoarding as a felony.

- Advocate locally. The BIGGEST impact you can make is pushing your state representatives for harsher penalties and better shelter oversight.

🏡Let’s STOP the misinformation and start pushing for justice where it happens most: in our own backyards!
