Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander wants to create an animal cruelty offender registry similar to what exists for sex offenders.

“A predator is a predator, if it’s against a human or it’s against an animal,” said Alexander, a vegetarian who’s found creative ways to promote animal welfare through the Rockets, which include serving vegetarian meals to the media, having the team’s dance squad wear ‘Animals Have Rights’ t-shirts and prohibiting the use of an animal shaped pinata during game promotions.
