For all of you animal lovers: An animal is abused every 10 seconds 10 SECONDS!!! how could we as a community let something like this be tolerated?! It is just flat out disgusting. Currently the following states only see animal cruelty as a misdemeanor.

Arkansas

Colorado

Hawaii

Idaho

Kansas

Maine

Mississippi

Nevada

New Jersey

North Dakota

Ohio

South Dakota

Tennessee

Utah

Wyoming.


I can guarantee that a large majority of people living in those states own a dog, cat, or horse so how could people who have a pet actually stand by and allow other pets to be harmed? Or how could they live with themselves and harm their own pets themselves? And even worse how can the state allow it to only be punished by a simple slap on the wrist?! I have had animals in my life since the day I was born, my mother does amazing work with a group called HART (https://www.facebook.com/HARTIdaho?fref=ts) nothing is worse to us then a helpless animal being neglected by someone who has the voice, and the power to really make a difference. We wouldn't want child abuse to only be a misdemeanor so why do we let animal abuse be?


Sign this petition and lets make a change in every animals life!
