Patterson introduces animal cruelty legislation

King County Councilwoman Julia Patterson recently introduced three comprehensive measures to address animal control, cruelty and care.

Patterson introduced the legislation in response to tragic incidents of animal cruelty and concerns about the care and treatment of animals in King County animal shelters.

"This comprehensive legislation reflects our county's values about care and treatment of animals, while further engaging the community in how we can more successfully reduce the number of unwanted, mistreated pets," said Patterson.
