"A 1997 Northeastern University study found that 70 percent of violent criminals committed more than one violent crime and 40 percent of them had abused animals.
Now a California lawmaker thinks that's reason enough to create a Megan's Law for pets. Under the bill, the state would establish mandatory registration system and community notification for those convicted of felony animal abuse. It would be supported by a 3-cent levy on pet food."
