SC Animal Protection Laws Among the Worst

Each year, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) publishes its U.S. State Animal Protection Laws Ranking Report. It is the longest-running and most authoritative of its kind, assessing the strength of each state and territory’s animal protection laws by examining over 3,600 pages of statutes. Each state and territory are ranked based on 20 different categories of animal protection. Unfortunately, South Carolina is almost dead last, falling to #47 when it comes to the strength of animal protection laws here.
