11 Worst States To Be An Animal

5. North Dakota

It seems like North Dakota is also on the list of states where local laws against animal cruelty aren’t exactly up to par. The state features laws regarding animal neglect, abuse, cruelty, abandonment and caged animals. Animal abuse from the third offense forth is seen as a class C felony and so is any case of animal cruelty.

The harshest penalties for the above felonies are up to 5 years in prison and $10,000 fines, which is not that bad, but it leaves plenty of room for improvement. After all, there are plenty of actions towards animals that are ignored or not taken into consideration at all, which is why North Dakota is definitely one of the worst states to be an animal.
