A new bill proposed in Florida would ban the practices of cat declawing and animal testing for cosmetics as well as forbid dogs from hanging their heads out of windows and riding on their owner's lap.
Dogs would be able to ride in the beds of pickup trucks, but only in a crate that is secured to the truck and is big enough for the dog to sit, stand and turn around.The bill also would make it illegal to declaw cats unless"for a therapeutic purpose," such as an illness or injury, the bill says.
Additionally, manufacturers would not be able to test cosmetics on animals, unless it is necessary under federal or state law, and in that case, manufacturers would have to indicate animal testing on product labels.Floridians also would not be able to"tether" animals without supervising it.
Exceptions apply, such as if the animal is being serviced by a vet or groomer, is participating in livestock herding or is being trained for use in law enforcement. Sales of pet rabbits would also get an overhaul. They would not be permitted to be sold on any streets, flea markets or open-air venues, or during the months of March and April. Violations would be considered second degree misdemeanors under the bill.
Finally, the bill would establish a registry for people convicted of animal abuse. Registrants would have their social security numbers and driver's license numbers published, and remain on the list for three years after a first misdemeanor offense, five years after a first felony offense and 10 years after any further offenses.
