This petition is to bring to light that Dogs and Cats are Sentinent Beings (The most basic way of experiencing the world is through feeling or sensation. 'Sentience' is defined as the ability to have perceptions and sensations. A 'sentientanimal' is an animal that is aware of his/her surroundings and of what happens to him/her and is capable of feeling pain and pleasure, at the least.)

Dogs and cats are not just personal belongings to be treated however a human pleases. We need to protect them and give them the love they deserve. As a Sentinent Being they have rights.

We NEED to make our government know that these animals need our protection!!!
