You can sign the petition here to help change dog’s status from property to living being. DANT‘s mission is to spread awareness of outdated legislation and to lead the charge in seeing that a change is made. Their mission statement says it best:
“Dogs Are Not Toasters – sounds silly and obvious, but in the eyes of the law, there is almost no distinction between the two.
Almost all state legislation value our dogs as property, leaving them without adequate legal protection. Our courts have gone so far as to acknowledge that dogs do not fit neatly within the current law, but no proactive change in legislation has been made.”
