    Please issue a bill that will protect the shelter animals. Unfortunately most shelters in the US are not like the one in DC, they understand what it takes to adopt out a dog or cat and they do not put them down for space which NEEDS to stop in these shelters. These are healthy adoptable animals and they are being murdered everyday. We need to make a law that will help them not kill them.

    I am fully behind this. Its not just southern states, it is everywhere and we need help. I am sure most of you in higher positions have pets. Go home and spend time with them. Acknowledge their intelligence and emotions. Then remeber all animals have this and imagine your pet in positons these animals are in. 1 of every 10 get homes. We need stronger laws for abuse. BEASTIALITY is not even a crime in some states. It has to STOP!!!

    You sit high and mighty in your comfortable homes, paid for by taxpayers, while helpless creatures suffer and die. Please, find your conscience and USE IT.

    The senseless deaths of thousands of healthy animals daily in this country is appalling. There are MANY adopters and rescuers working AROUND THE CLOCK on Facebook and Twitter willing to save them. They need more TIME! NYC alone, a list is put out nightly, people have less than 24 hours to help them. Downey shelter in CA killed kittens and a mother cat, a rescue SPOKE for them and were given ONE HOUR. They KILLED them all. PLEASE, there needs to be a nationwide change in this lack of concern for life.

    Please think about your favorite dog/cat or any pet you had. Imagine it got lost and you find out it as at your local shelter and because the time they have there is limited, your pet is euthanized, and not the way your vet does it, while you are on the way to the shelter to get them. Imagine you decide to look for a pet online and find one you just fall in love with. You go to the shelter to get it, and while you were on your way there, the shelter euthanized it. Imagine you are volunteering at a shelter and a worker there enjoys when it is time to put one of the animals down. Imagine the fear these poor animals feel when the see the look in the eyes of the person that is ending their life. It happens every day in this country. Over and over and over. You can make it stop.

    It is heartbreaking seeing healthy animals killed hourly in this country! It is tragic learning of some new cruelty inflicted on an animal, almost every minute, in this country alone, not even to mention in others. But, we should know better, and should be ashamed of how we're treating animals, especially those in so-called "shelters"... I want to see laws changed, right away, so that there are enough homes for them, and there are fewer strays, and that time is allowed to find homes. People should not be allowed to just "dump" their pets in shelters. There is a SERIOUS problem with our shelters, it needs fixing... now! Thank you.

    We need you to put a law into effect to protect all of the animals from abuse, torture, murder and also to give these animals in shelters a fair chance of being rescued or adopted and to do away with gassing facilities and heartsticking which is cruel and inhumane.

    There are many people trying to help these animals, but we need the laws to back us up and force the shelters to give us time to save them. As Gandhi said, The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated. Please help us show the world that the U.S. is indeed a leader in the rights of all living creatures.

    A country that does not cherish the lives of elderly, children, or animals, is a third world country!
