Great to be at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee today to sign legislation to enhance our already strong laws against animal cruelty in Florida. HB 559 makes it a felony for adults to encourage minors to participate in or witness animal cruelty, increases penalties for animal fighting offenses, requires psychological treatment for juveniles who abuse animals, and expands requirements for offenders registered in the FDLE animal abuser database.
I was also proud to sign SB 1004, which expands consumer protections for pet owners by revising requirements for dog and cat sellers. This legislation protects against deceptive financing tactics, extends the timeframe for pet owners to seek remedies for sick animals, and removes caps on vet cost reimbursements. To ensure transparency, this bill also requires additional medical record disclosures so that people have access to important health information before bringing a new pet home.
In Florida, anyone who mistreats or exploits animals—or tries to defraud those who care about them—will be held accountable.

JUST IN: Los Angeles authorities are currently carrying out potentially the largest animal rescue operation in United States history.
L.A. officials are reportedly removing an estimated 700 dogs and cats from a property in Antelope Valley.
According to investigators, the animals were in the care of Christine De Anda of Rock N Pawz animal rescue.
During the search, about 400 dogs and 300 cats were found.
Dozens of LA County Department of Animal Care and Control staff members and mutual aid partners arrived at the scene and provided medical aid to the animals.
"This is the largest number of dogs and cats that DACC has ever seized and may be the largest case ever in the United States," LACO Animals said in a statement.

Shame On Them 😡
Expats fleeing Dubai due to rising Middle East tensions are abandoning pets, with vets reporting a surge in requests for euthanasia of healthy animals. Many pets are left at shelters, on the streets, or in apartments. Volunteers and groups are desperately trying to rehome animals.
Pets are FAMILY, you DON’T leave family behind!! 😡
@krassenstein@PoliticsNewss "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
I don’t know if you are anti pets, but words carry weight and we cannot normalize rhetoric that diminishes the value of animals or suggests they belong neglected in the streets.

@elonmusk@elonmusk can you please communitynote the misinformation going around like wildfire that suggest dogs should be put on the streets here in America & NY. Huge platforms like Gavin Newsom are promoting this. Compassion for pets is a hallmark of a healthy society.
@fred_guttenberg@RepFine@elonmusk please have your staff community note these posts they are wildly inappropriate and support animal cruelty. Thank you
@fred_guttenberg@RepFine@fred_guttenberg please be more thoughtful with your words. Compassion for animals is extremely important in a high a society we want others to role model.
@ERICSORENSEN The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Anyone who doesn't support pets are antithetical to what America stands for.
@DavidAFrench The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. We condemn anyone who suggests otherwise
@D_ByersArtist@GovPressOffice ‼️As an animal disaster relief org, we unequivocally condemn @GavinNewsom for suggesting dogs belong in the streets. That rhetoric is dangerous and dehumanizing. Dogs deserve protection, compassion, and care. We will always stand against language that puts animals at risk.
