    These animals are being cruelly treated in ways we would find diabolical done to a human, but It is horrible done to an animal too. They are being abused all around us and need to be protected and helped!!!!

    All of us need to sign this petition for our beloved animals no matter what! They cannot protect themselves and the cruelty is still out there. We need much stricter laws and if necessary, much tougher land aggressive prosecutions...PLEASE!

    Animal rights are as important as human rights. Jail time and stronger punishments should be given to animal abusers.

    The animal cruelty laws are a joke. First off when it occurs the person/persons should be put in prison longer than the idiot laws in place now. Second, the abuser/abusers need their names on a government registry (much like those in.place for child molesters) with a picture and the reason why they cannot own any animal species. Animals need an.advocate. strict laws would work,not a slap on the hand.

    The need for stronger laws regarding animal cruelty is long overdue. They must be enacted and enforced.

    Domesticated Animals are completely vulnerable to humans and have no way of making their own choices about their fate. Humans irrational decisions to harm animals and sometimes even torture them almost always end with a slap on the wrist. There is no way for pets or animals to comprehend why they are being abused and have no way to express their pain or to stop it. Animal Cruelty should be one of the most severe crimes and carry unforgiving punishments. The couple that just got 50 years for filming multiple animal torture (crush) scenes and uploading them online should be put away forever.

    It's time for really strong laws to be enacted and enforced in the entire USA against animal abusers. It's time now for the U.S. Govt to STOP being abusers. STOP research on animals. Stop spending tax dollars on animal abuse in the name of research. STOP torturing and murdering animals in military training. The govt is NOT above the law.

    It is a known fact that people who abuse animals are those who move on to abusing humans. Animals feel pain just as humans, therefore, the penalties to harm an animal should be the same of harming a human being.

    The fact that you can abuse animals for a minimal monetary charge is barbaric. This is a CRIME.
