Pennsylvania is one of the last three states to not have an ordinance at this level.

Gov. Tom Wolf, who is set to sign the legislation sign legislation, stated, “I applaud the sponsors and advocates who have fought for too long to improve Pennsylvania’s protections for animals,” Wolf said in a statement yesterday. “We are long overdue to join the rest of the country in having higher standards of care for our pets and other animals.”

Libre’s Law is the first step against both animal fighting and neglect such as leaving an animal alone in extreme conditions for more than 30 minutes.
