What We
Are Doing

Bluegrass Animal Welfare Advocacy Group (BAWAG) hopes to bring public awareness to the multitude of issues that affect Kentucky’s dogs, cats, horses, and burros (donkeys). We are not an advocacy group who intends to advocate at this time for all animals as in farm livestock but we do hope that Kentucky’s farming community at least treat their livestock humanely. We also do not advocate against those that wish to participate in legal hunting. What we ARE looking to do is to educate all Kentuckians on our horrible animal laws and those who oppose trying to make them better. It is time for Kentucky to fall in line with other states and put prosecutable laws in place to protect against the abuse, neglect, and intentional harm inflicted upon those who have no voice. We pledge our relentless commitment to a more compassionate Kentucky!

VOTE FOR CHANGE

The following link will help you decide on the candidates you should vote on and the ones you feel will make the biggest changes in Kentucky. Its time to clean up Frankfort. They have all forgotten who the tax payers are and we are not going to let these politicians slide by again. Its time to hold these politicians accountable. We have taken enough of this foolishness, its time to take a NO nonsense approach to all of the rhetoric.
