New Reference Book Researches And Compares Animal Cruelty Statute Laws In All 50 States

Burbank, California – Every state in America has animal cruelty laws. How do they compare state by state?

Dixie Publishing is proud to release the new reference book ANIMAL CRUELTY LAW IN THE UNITED STATES, A COMPARATIVE ANAYSIS, written by Opal Dockery. This groundbreaking book is the first of its kind as a research study to compare and contrast animal anti-cruelty statutes existing in all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia.

Dockery's new reference book researches and results in a suggestion that a reasonable solution regarding the reduction of crime lies within the realm of increasing penalties for such actions to a felony level along with incorporating a high degree of empathy for all living beings in the lives of American Citizens.

“This book considers a comparative analysis of all anti-cruelty laws in America, and case law from each state's jurisdiction”, Dockery stated in press materials. “Although similarities and contrasts exist among the various anti-cruelty statutes, they do not sufficiently protect animals due to the fact that society considers them as property rather than living, feeling beings. Until such statue is changed, animals will never be afforded any respectable rights of protection”.

A landmark book, ANIMAL CRUELY LAW IN THE UNITED STATES is a pioneer reference book for Animal Rights, Criminal Justice, Education and the Judicial Legal System.

AN ANIMAL'S EYES

Study an animal. Look into his face.
See his eyes and know that he is a living, feeling being the same as you.
Think of his eyes while you are eating him.

Is Childhood Obesity Child Abuse?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Burbank, California - Childhood Obesity is skyrocketing. It is not only a national problem, but a global epidemic. And is destroying the health, welfare and future of our nation's children. With no end in sight.

The facts and statistics are alarming:

According to research, over 1 billion people are overweight worldwide. The obesity rate in children has tripled in the last 30 years. Over 9 million children in the United States are considered obese. Included is over 20% of children under the age of 12. For toddlers under the age of 5, obesity levels have tripled to over 13% in the same amount of time. Over 30 percent of major health and medical problems are a result of Obesity, which include heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, gall bladder disease and asthma. Hospital costs for children have quadrupled in the last 20 years. Childhood Obesity now results in Obesity at the adult stage as much as 70 percent. And if one of the child's parents is obese, that rate jumps to over 80 percent. Childhood obesity leads to antisocial and depressive tendencies, which leads to lifetime psychological effects. With this growing global epidemic, what can be done to change the world and save children's lives?

Ms. Dockery's reference book is the first of its kind to show a direct link between Childhood Obesity and Child Abuse. Childhood obesity is a preventable medical disorder that fulfills the legal definition of Child Abuse. Through extensive research, and finding that it captures the lives of children and is transferred to adulthood, remaining a constant lifelong problem, this book shows and educates the reader that Childhood Obesity could and should be considered a legalized form of Child Abuse.
