This Country Needs To Wake Up And Help Our Animals In Need!

Dear Congress, I am doing this petition in defense of our animals that have been put into shelters across the United States. There is a problem with our shelters in our country, (Mostly In The Southern States). These shelters are not allowing ample time for these animals to be rescued, or adopted.

They are useing heart sticks, gas chambers, that have holes in the walls,and doesn't work the first tme, as well as other means to have these animals die. Some animals are being abused in these shelters.

I am asking you to make it a law, to extend the time these animals have before being killed, so they have a fair chance of being rescued, or adopted. There have been animals that have been wanted, but shelters are ignoring this and killing animals anyway.

The other concern is having inmates, threw work release programs, having the job of killing these animals in shelters. This is not a good rehabilitation method.

We are counting on you, our Congress, to change laws so these animals are protected.

They are all God's creatures and it is God you will have to answer to for treating innocent animals in this manner. There may come a day that you are helpless and and in great need, but it is decided that you are not worth the effort and only then will you understand the power of your actions.

We need laws in place to not allow anyone to get a pet unless they are checked for proper care and ability to afford and more importantly abuse and neglect so that there are less animals in shelters Animals that DESERVE TO LIVE and give LOVE to people who want it...it is a shame that the standards of most shelters are no better then dog farms, there is no excuse to do this to a helpless animal who 9 out of 10 times has been neglected or abused it is plain WRONG and to subject them to possible torture from violent offenders or non violent offenders is putting more PAIN AND CRUELTY on an animal that has had NO KINDESS AND SITS IN A COLD CAGE without LOVE OR ATTENTION. WAKE UP!!!
