Nevada Launches Animal Abuse Registry

Las Vegas, Nevada Jul 24, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - After waiting for years for the state to step up and create one, the local group couldnt stand by and wait any longer while innocent animals are being neglected, abused, tortured and even killed at the hands of violent monsters. The statewide Animal Abuse Registry in Nevada was created by Las Vegas resident, John Waudby, who was also instrumental in getting the recently passed Reba's Law signed into law. Reba's Law was created in memory after the horrific murder of Reba, the English bulldog in Las Vegas.

Waudby has also set his sights on Washington D.C. to get a nationwide animal abuse registry launched, much like the sex offender registry. Waudby recently paid for and launched the statewide registry but states "more needs to be done, a lot more if were going to protect our animals as it is totally unfathomable, that in 2025 our animals dont have the same protection against violent predators that our children do and If the government, who has a sworn oath to protect us, refuses to protect our fur babies, then we will."

 Waudby hopes to change that with a Nationwide Animal Abuse Registry.

Some interesting facts pulled from their website at https://www.nevadaanimaladvocates.org

• 10 million Animals die from abandonment, neglect, abuse or cruelty every year
• 250,000 Animals annually are found to be victims of hoarding and living in unsanitary conditions
• 60,000 suspects are arrested every year for animal neglect, abuse or cruelty

Waudby states the Nevada Animal Abuse Registry will be built from public records from agencies that have released information on convicted animal abusers, locally maintained registries, court records and other news sources. The Nevada Animal Abuse Registry also has a submission form where visitors can Submit a Tip to have a convicted person(s) added to the website. To protect an individuals right to due process, Waudby states that all submissions will be verified against court records before anyone is listed on the Nevada Animal Abuse Registry.
