This petition is directed to the people of the world that abuse animals and forget that they have rights too. WHY IS THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT TO US? This is important because animals have feelings just like us but they are unable to speak for themselves. Animals are constantly being abused by humans and it is not appropriate in today's society. Imagine being locked up in a cage all day with minimal food and water, only to come out to be beaten and the only thing these animals can do is sit there and watch. WE NEED TO GIVE THESE ANIMALS MORE RIGHTS AND A VOICE!
