Dear Governor Brashear -
On behalf of your constituents throughout the state who believe that our animal brethren deserve, at a minimum, humane and compassionate treatment, we wish to thank you for finally making Romeo's Law a reality. You have certainly won our admiration and respect. We appreciate your commitment to doing the right thing for the residents - both two-legged and four-legged alike - of the Bluegrass State. We also extend our gratitude to the many legislators, particularly Tom Buford (Nicholasville) who tirelessly worked to ensure criminals who abuse animals are treated as felons and justly sentenced as such under the law. This was a fine example of bi-partisanship among our legislative and executive branch for the greater good. Thank you!

    • You have made a difference in KY that will not only have an impact on how animals are treated but I believe it sends a message to those who abuse partners and children. Kentucky does not tolerate abuse in any form. Thank you Governor Brashear!

    • Thank you for making Romeo's law the law of Kentucky. There is a correlation between animal abuse and the abuse of family and children. And animals have no voice, no social workers, no teachers to help them.

    • For so many years I have known the relationship of violence toward animals and violence toward humans by those sick enough to act on these impulses. Thank you for taking a step toward stopping them; identifying them, early on.
