Throughout Santa Ana, cases of animal cruelty persist, causing anguish and untold suffering amongst its non-human residents. Far too often, offenders face minor penalties, giving little deterrent to prevent future acts of cruelty. As a community, we must raise our voices to amplify the silent cries of animals and demand better.

In 2019, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) reported 144 cases of animal cruelty just in Orange County, which Santa Ana is a part of. But only a fraction of those led to any substantial legal action. We believe that this ratio could be vastly improved with stronger laws and strict enforcement. Animal cruelty should not be tolerated under any circumstances, and any violation should yield serious legal repercussions.

By strengthening our animal cruelty laws, we can secure a safer Santa Ana for both humans and animals alike. Our plan needs to include increased penalties and better enforcement of animal cruelty cases that will serve as a powerful deterrent against such acts. With these measures in place, Santa Ana can lead the way and set a precedent for other cities to follow suit.
