“Idaho Sen. Tim Corder, R-Mountain Home, was at the Idaho Cattle Association Convention in Sun Valley Tuesday, Nov. 17, to ask cattlemen to help develop animal cruelty legislation.
Corder, chairman of the Senate Agricultural Affairs Committee, has been preparing two bills on the issue. Animal welfare groups and the Idaho State Department of Agriculture have been at the table. Production agriculture has been missing until this past week, he said.
Livestock producers have rejected changing Idaho's animal cruelty law or adding new laws to the books, but Corder said things are changing and laws will change with them. It is crucial that producers be part of the conversation and help direct new laws to protect themselves.”
