Attorney General Dana Nessel announces partnership with Michigan Humane Society to prosecute animal abuse cases

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced a partnership with Michigan Humane to prosecute of animal abuse cases. “I know most Michiganders think of their pets as family members and subjecting those family members to abuse is incomprehensible,” said Nessel in a statement. “Animal abuse is cruel and sadistic. It is also a crime that is often associated with other serious criminal activity, including domestic violence, illegal possession of firearms, illegal gambling, drug possession and large-scale animal abuse and fighting rings. I am proud to partner with Michigan Humane to prosecute these offenders.”
