Issue:
There are many animals in the United States and even the world who are being abused everyday. We as people should make a stand against those who physically and mentally abuse animals. For every dog starving, for every kitten that is beaten, for every puppy that is thrown into the water without knowing how to swim, and for all the people that do these things to them and walk away with a slap on the wrist.
Belief:
I believe that animals are alot like children. Animals are a product of how they are raised and the environment in which they are from. Teach a child to fight to kill, or better yet... throw a child into the streets to survive with no human contact and the product you'll get will be similar to that of an animal put in the same situations. For this reason i believe animals should be treated with the same decency. People everywhere are treating animals as stress relievers and punching bags, to take their stress out on. This is for all the animals abused, and the people who walk away with just a slap on the wrist for abusing, or even worse killing them. If anyone reading this needs more in site turn on the T.V. and watch animal cops, or go to the ASPCA website and see for yourself. Only people like us can try to influence the government in harder penalties for those who abuse animals.
WAKE UP GOVERNMENT. WAKE UP AND LETS PUNISH PEOPLE WHO ABUSE, TORTURE OR USE ANIMALS FOR HUMAN PLEASURE. IT'S DISCUSTING. I AM ALL FOR HARSHER LAWS. WHO THE HELL MADE THIS OUR WORLD??????????????????????????????????????/
I believe the proper punishment for these assholes is to have them recieve the same exact treatment that they inflicted upon these animals. I hate these people w/ the strongest passion imaginable.
Amen.
How! can you look a cute animal in the face an then turnaround and abuse them IT just has to stop!NO two ways about it the law has to be twice has hard on the abuser. Animals are peoples best friends lets all treat them like it PLEASE!
I have been a foster home for abondoned and abused animals for appr.the last 5 years. Nothing angers me more than to see an animal hurt.Actually what infuriates me even more than that is when they let the abuser walk away! You need so much proof it is horrible! And while your trying to prove the abuse the poor animal is either suffering, gotten rid of or killed.WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE. Is it not time to bring back JUSTICE in our justice system...To Defend the weak and the helpless!
In China there is no such thing as Animal Laws... I was horrified. If you kill a dog in Beijing, you'll be charged with "damaging other's property"....
Please everyone, animals are not beneath us. We do not own them, we do not rule over them. They are not morally or spiritually less than humans. Us humans need to be much less conceited. WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE THEM AS INFERIOR! If you look at it this way.. it is the humans that has been causing so much turmoil and loss on the world we live in. We kill ourselves, we kill each other, we bear hatred, and take our habitat for granted. How dare we think that we're on top?
We ARE NOT better than animals, we are one kind of animal. Mammal. That's all we are.
This is essential! Please realize that most of the sick serial type killers and abusers start with helpless small animals and when that no longer satisfies their demented desire to mame and kill and mutilate,they move on to small helpless children and adults!
They have to be stopped at the animal abuse stage ( which is horrific enough ) in order to keep them from more horrifing crimes.
STOP letting them off easy!
It needs to be bumped up to a federal crime!
I have always held to the idea that whatever an animal abuser did to an animal is what should be done to them. Someone who lets their pet go for days without water should be denied water for three or four days. Starve your animal to death? No food for a week. Bring them to the brink, then bring them back. Running a dogfighting ring? Deathmatch with other prisoners. If you win, you get put back into your tiny cell, fed some bread and water, run on a treadmill for a couple of miles, then fight again the next day. You lose, if you aren't killed in the ring, you get your choice of hanging, drowning, electric chair, or burned alive. In our country of reciprocal punishment, this just makes good sense!
STOP THIS BS, who with a conscience could ever abuse an animal, they have just as much right to live as any other, if even more because of their innocence. People are worse then animals and yet we treat them horrible. Abusing an animal is just as bad as abusing a person, its juts like negligence, rape, abuse, harrassment, and so forth to us. They have feelings just like us, so why would you want to hurt them? BECAUSE YOURE EVIL HORRIBLE NOT DESERVING TO LIVE PEOPLE MAYBE! jail is the only option for people that commit these crimes and hell of course.
STOP ANIAML ABUSE. Abusers are losers and I would love to see capital punishment for offenders. Animals are not less than us. We are animals ourselves. People need to stop thinking they can get a dog and then throw them in the backyard or neglect them by not taking them to the vet. People SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pledge with my life to stop this horrible subject! I have lovely cat for five years now, and I treat her like my own child. This subejct should be counted as 1st degree murder, and the people responsible should get a harsher penalty, famous or not! The belief is right, and everyone should raise their voice against this evil crime!
I say JAIL for those who harm animals.
WHOEVER ABUSES ANIMALS IS A BAD PERSON THEY SHOULD GET PUNISHED CAUSE THEY WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE TO ABUSE THEM SO WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO A POOR DIFFENSELESS ANIMAL.
I dont see how anyone could hurt an animal I luv animals and i think anyone who hurts them should get a huge jail sentence, I mean there no different to someone who has hurt a child
I completely agree with Danny T. Rotting in HELL would do it but how about a little harsh and severe punishment while the BASTARDS are here on earth with us, (Unfortunately!!). They need to start with Michael Vick....That piece of trash sould be wet down and electrocuted and beaten, everyday of his miserable life; which I sincerely hope will be a short one !!!
I agree with eye for an eye I see two many times people around here specificly...cutting off limbs,blow tourching cats!!and even if there caught I'll just roll my eyes knowing there only gonna get two years for this,anyone doing this to any animals should rot in the worse of all hells for eternity
I am always mad when I here that someone who tourchered or killed an animal getting a "long term"setence of two years in prison,at least an eight year sentenced for something like this with no good behavior or parole,my two dogs died the same year and rumor had it the idiot neigbor who ran as a repulican for township(got crushed everyone hated him still do)might have poisoned them....so there I looked outfrom the porch"who do I have now?" I asked and a stray cat comes up and and rubs her body against my leg....they only ask for someone to love them,and it only right we punish those who would harm our animals we love,we owe them this
