Animal Abuse is now a Class-D Felony in Kentucky

Animal abuse is now a Class-D Felony.

At a signing ceremony in Frankfort, Ethan’s Law as it is known increases jail time from months to years. 

The law was named after a dog named Ethan who was found emaciated and beaten  when he was rescued in 2021. 

Now, Ethan is recovered, and along with the person who adopted him, was at the signing.
