Bill Seeks To Make Bestiality A Gross Misdemeanor In Nevada

In Nevada, bestiality is not currently illegal, but a new bill in the legislature this session could change that. 

Assembly Bill 391 was heard in the Committee on Natural Resources, Agriculture and Mining Thursday and would codify bestiality a gross misdemeanor, according to a story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal

It would become a class C felony if the animal in question is seriously injured or killed, or the perpetrator has previous animal cruelty convictions on record. 

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
