Lawmakers in Rhode island, California, and Louisiana are considering registries to keep tabs on people convicted of animal abuse.

The registries would function much like sexual-offender registries, requiring convicted animal abusers to register personal information with local law enforcement. The chief of police in the area would then be required to notify every residence, school, humane society, shelter and business within a half mile of the abuser's residence of their previous offense and description. The state attorney general also would maintain a central database of registrants that can be accessed by the general public.
