What the petition asks
Jail people who abuse and neglect animals unfortunately dogs and other animals are neglected by those who are supposed to love and protect them and keep them safe. The law on animal abuse needs to change it seems that these horrible individuals do not receive the punishment they deserve
Because there needs to be justice for innocent animals who are neglected by monsters the system needs to change and there needs to be serious consequences and punishment to those who engage in this sort of cruel behaviours. I urge that changes need to happen drastically for the safety and protection of those animals.#animal justice
