Un esfuerzo de seis a\u00f1os culmin\u00f3 con la aprobaci\u00f3n de la HF737, que se bas\u00f3 en las leyes de crueldad adoptadas 25 a\u00f1os antes y mejor\u00f3 las definiciones relativas a los est\u00e1ndares de cuidado y las disposiciones sobre evaluaciones de salud mental para los maltratadores de animales. La ley tambi\u00e9n introdujo prohibiciones sobre la posesi\u00f3n futura de animales por parte de personas condenadas por delitos contra el bienestar animal y penas m\u00e1s severas para los reincidentes. El proyecto de ley fue aprobado por la C\u00e1mara de Representantes con 97 votos a favor y 0 en contra, y por el Senado con 44 votos a favor y 4 en contra, y fue promulgado por la gobernadora Kim Reynolds el 29 de junio de 2020. <\/p>\n

Una coalici\u00f3n estatal se uni\u00f3 para liderar el esfuerzo de capacitar al departamento de agricultura estatal. Esta agencia, que ya estaba encargada de supervisar el bienestar de los perros en las instalaciones de cr\u00eda comercial con licencia estatal, tambi\u00e9n inspeccionar\u00eda las operaciones con licencia federal en Iowa al recibir una queja, algo que antes no pod\u00edan hacer.

Despu\u00e9s de varios a\u00f1os de problemas peri\u00f3dicos con animales salvajes como osos, leones, tigres y lobos en posesi\u00f3n de particulares como mascotas, la legislatura aprob\u00f3 y promulg\u00f3 un proyecto de ley que regulaba la tenencia de dichos animales.<\/p>\n

En 2006, cuando la legislatura aprob\u00f3 discretamente un proyecto de ley que cambiar\u00eda las leyes relativas a la cr\u00eda comercial de perros, clasificando de hecho a los perros como ganado y potencialmente sujetos a leyes de negligencia y crueldad m\u00e1s indulgentes, la ARL lider\u00f3 la campa\u00f1a para derrotar el proyecto de ley, prevaleciendo finalmente cuando el gobernador de Iowa, Tom Vilsack, vet\u00f3 la disposici\u00f3n por partida individual.<\/p>\n

En 2004, Iowa finalmente tipific\u00f3 las peleas de animales como delito grave, uni\u00e9ndose a otros 47 estados para someter a quienes participan en esta pr\u00e1ctica horriblemente cruel a sanciones tan graves. La votaci\u00f3n final del proyecto de ley fue de 48-0 en el Senado y 98-0 en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes. La SF2249 fue promulgada el 9 de abril de 2004 por el gobernador Tom Vilsack. <\/p>\n

En 1997, la ARL demand\u00f3 con \u00e9xito la custodia de un perro, lo que se cree que fue uno de los primeros casos de este tipo. El perro en cuesti\u00f3n era una mezcla de pastor alem\u00e1n herida llamada Sugarbear. Sugarbear fue objeto de una investigaci\u00f3n por crueldad, y su due\u00f1o no permit\u00eda que los veterinarios de la ARL la trataran por una herida de bala y una pata lesionada que necesitaba amputaci\u00f3n. Finalmente, la ARL obtuvo la custodia, trat\u00f3 las lesiones de Sugarbear y fue adoptada con \u00e9xito por un hogar amoroso. <\/p>\n

En 1994, la ARL, junto con otros, logr\u00f3 actualizar las leyes de crueldad animal de Iowa por primera vez en casi 100 a\u00f1os. Si bien el proyecto de ley hac\u00eda una distinci\u00f3n entre el ganado y otros animales, la nueva ley introdujo disposiciones para est\u00e1ndares m\u00ednimos de cuidado e incluy\u00f3 un lenguaje que preve\u00eda que las jurisdicciones locales recuperaran los costos de cuidar a los animales desatendidos y maltratados. <\/p>\n

Una de las primeras iniciativas que la ARL defendi\u00f3 fue una ley que obligaba a esterilizar o castrar a los animales adoptados de refugios. La ley fue un esfuerzo para abordar el problema de la superpoblaci\u00f3n de mascotas, asegurando que los animales adoptados a trav\u00e9s de refugios no continuaran contribuyendo al problema de la superpoblaci\u00f3n de mascotas. Hasta la fecha, alrededor de otros 30 estados han promulgado estatutos similares. <\/p>\n
