My name is Shania Gordon and i think that all animal abuse and neglect should stop now!! In France the government is taking live cats and dogs and putting hooks in their paws and snouts and dragging these live animals behind boats as live shark bait. Is that really how we should treat these pets! How would anybody who thinks that abusing any type of animal is fun like it if they were hurt and they couldnt do anything about it. These animals have no way to defend themselves except for bite which doesnt stop the attacker. They cant open a door or throw anything at the person who is abusing it. All they can do is run into a corner and get beatin or bite and then get beaten even harder. Think of these poor animals who would have no chance of surviving unless somehow they escaped. And the worst part is that the people who murder or abuse these animals usually dont even get sentenced to prison. They would get the animal taken away if it was abuse and would be fined but thats not enough. And if they murdered the animal they were just get fined and maybe in prison for possibly 3 months tops. People should get punished more for their actions and put in prison for way longer and made sure they are unable to purchase anymore animals.These animals should have the right to be defended for. If you agree then stand up to all of these horrible people in the world from France to even in your own town. Sign this petition and maybe we may stop some of these people in the world and stop the French from torturing these animals. I have been a vegatarian for over 2 months and I will stick with it for the rest of my live. You should do the same or if not then just sign below! If you have any questions email me at sgordon105@gmail.com. Make a change a step up for the poor animals that we all love a adore.
