Did you know in 19 states animal abuse is not a crime (although individual towns within the state may have ordinances on the books)? Did you also know that there is a proven correlation between those who abuse helpless animals and those who abuse helpless children, spouses and others. It is the desire of the undersigned that the abuse problem be addressed at its core. That being the case, we urge the United States Congress to pass and the President to sign Legislation making animal abuse a felony, mandating jail time.
