Defense Against Animal Cruelty Charges and Dog Law Violations
No one wants to see an animal neglected or treated cruelly. But in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, animal rights activists are now twisting the animal cruelty laws and dog laws to mistreat innocent citizens. In Pennsylvania, the prosecution and court of public opinion often view animal cruelty as an indicator of future violent behavior against fellow humans. Therefore, the state vigorously pursues dog law violation cases. Unfortunately, people are often falsely accused of committing these crimes.
If you have been charged with an animal cruelty or dog law offense, contact Clymer, Musser, Brown & Conrad, P.C. Our lawyers have detailed knowledge of this area of the law and will help you understand the charge against you. Since 1983, we have been protecting the rights of the accused in Philadelphia, Harrisburg and the nearby areas.
Did You Know?
The Pennsylvania SPCA has the power to file animal cruelty charges. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture can file Dog Law violations. Together, they often work to overstep their enumerated powers and trample the rights of private citizens. Specific charges include:
- Violations as insignificant as too much hair
- Failure to brush the animals teeth
- Failure to get a vet plan
- Failing to provide adequate shelter
Because some jurors think the rights of dogs are superior to the rights of humans, there is no room for error in your criminal defense. It is critical that you hire an attorney experienced in this niche area of the law. Contact our office for thorough and swift defense.
