Stop Animal Cruelty

Animal Abuse must stop! Animal neglect cannot be allowed. Across the United States, thousands of animals are severely mistreated. Often this violence against animals goes unpunished. Animals have rights just like humans. They don't deserve to be tortured and abused. The people who commit these crimes are not getting enough time behind bars. Animal abuse crimes are often overlooked, despite the fact that statistics shoe that there is a strong correlation between violence against animals and violence against humans. These violent people must be severely punished for their crimes. An animal deserves the protection of the state. Are they not as important as a person? Are people somehow more valuable? No, we're not. The law must be stricter against animal abusers. Please take action to increase the penalties for animal abusers. You will be helping get criminals off the streets...perhaps before they take violent action against people as well!

Most Animal abusers are given little to no jail time, getting fined & probation as the only punishment. This needs to change!! Animals should not be deemed "PROPERTY" such as your car, home etc. Last time I checked my home, car does not bleed, feel fear & pain nor have a beating heart. But animals do!!! And they DO feel fear and pain. The only difference between them & us is THEY CANNOT SPEAK for themselves!! So I speak for them.
The abuse animals suffer here in the United States MUST STOP NOW! I honestly don't care if it comes from local government or national government, penalties for animal cruelty need to fit the crime. Abusers should do time and have to pay hefty fines for their actions.
