    No dog should EVER LIVE A LIFE TETHERED 24/7 365 days a year, it is abuse especially in cold weather states, also applies to abuse by negligence starving beating etc. That isn't being a responsible pet owner. If you don't properly take care of an animal they should be arrested, it should be a felony. We all know people who abuse animals are abusive to women and children, and a danger to all of us! What will it take to get this country to change these laws? THE TIME IS NOW TO TAKE ACTION AND CHANGE THESE LAWS!!

    People who abuse animals need to held more accountable for their actions. Stronger laws with prison sentencing should be considered. Animals are helpless. If we don't create strict laws to protect them against brutality who will protect them. We need to send a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in this country.

    Absolute disgust and anger is what I feel right now! Individuals who commit acts of cruelty to poor, sweet, unconditional loving animals MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!!!!!!! People cannot keep getting away with such horrific acts of animal cruelty!! No more fines or slap on the wrists for this! No more with being sentenced to just a mere few months in jail! This is MURDER and should be treated as such, and people need to pay for the crime! A life is a life, prosecute to the FULLEST extent of the law!!!

    I feel animal abusers have a significant negative impact on our community. Animal abuse is just a symptom to an more dangerous serious underlying issue.

    Animals aren't mean unless they have a reason to be, just like humans aren't jerks unless they have a reason. Animal abuse is disgusting and anyone who partakes in such an act can go to hell for all I care.

    I volunteer at the local Humane Society Animal Shelter and it is a hard job that not many people can do, but the animals needs to be walked and played with and socialized so that they can be adoptable to a forever home. It is shameful how some of them come in and I have a hard time forgiving humanity after a day at the shelter taking care of the aftermath of cruelty and neglect. I wish I could do so much more and this petition is one more step.

    Once a human being crosses the line and abuses any creature they must pay the consequences, and pay with a punishment so they never forget. The penalty must be very harsh due to the fact the human being's mentality is obviously the same as other criminals.

    Remember: The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the ways its animals are treated. PLEASE BE THE VOICE OF ANIMALS. They so deserve better. Harsh consequences for animal abusers-be our heroes and legislate this. I would say the majority of the citizens want stronger laws. PLEASE!!!
