Reporting Animal Abuse or Neglect

The National Link Coalition has put together a county-by-county list of where to report animal abuse or neglect, which you can find here.

Remember that you don't have to be certain of abuse or neglect - just suspect that it's occurring.  In the state of Oklahoma, animal cruelty laws apply to ALL animals, including wildlife.  You can find a full listing of Oklahoma statutes relating to animals here.
