Animal Rights Lobbyist

Can you picture yourself fighting the fight for animal rights? Animal rights lobbyists try to influence legislators to pass legislation that will benefit animals. New York State was recently passed that made "intentional animal cruelty" a felony, punishable by up to a $5,000 fine and/or up to two years of prison. Lobbyists work for animal rights societies, and many lobbyists are lawyers who work for humane organizations or on behalf of animals, trying to ensure that the laws lobbyists work so hard to get passed are enforced in court.
