The latest edition of the Advocate is out! Donโ€™t miss it!

Have you taken time to review all the new laws that went into effect last week in Florida? Some of them focus on Animal Cruelty!

1. (Florida Senate Bill 150) - ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟโ€™๐˜€ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ makes it a felony to ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—”๐—ก๐—— ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป a dog during a natural disaster or evacuation, carrying penalties of up to ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€ in prison and a $๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ fine. This law was inspired by a rescue operation during Hurricane Milton last year, ensuring no pet is left tied up in such situations.

2. (Florida House Bill 255) - ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟโ€™๐˜€ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜„ enhances penalties for aggravated animal cruelty and creates a ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜† through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€. This gives shelters and pet sellers a tool to screen potential adopters and keep animals out of the wrong hands.

These new laws mark a significant step forward in protecting the welfare of animals in Florida and ensuring responsible pet ownership.

In our new weekly series, Where Are They Now?, we
catch up with former DCHS graduates to see where life has taken them, how their time in high school shaped their journey, and what wisdom they'd share with today's students.
Each featured graduate answers a set of reflective questions about their journey since leaving DCHS,
school memories, career path, and personal growth. From heartfelt advice to inspiring accomplishments, I hope this helps the readers catch up with their former classmates and also give some inspiration to current high school students! Nominate a former graduate, no matter the year, send the name to [email protected]
