I would like to thank the people who are finally standing up against animal cruelty.

I know how I felt when someone hit my little dog on his head and busted his skull. Animals cannot talk and tell you what happened and the judge sometimes just turns his head.

Anyone who would mistreat an animal, senior adult or child should be punished. When they face God, they cannot lie their way out.

People drop dogs and cats out on our highways and streets everyday to starve or just get run over. This has to stop.

I have sent fliers all over Mississippi to people to put a stop to cruelty to animals. When you leave your pet with someone else, they should be responsible for your pet.

Let’s stand up people; let’s get Congress to pass the law that anyone caught doing harm to people or animals will be punished to the full extent of the law.
