People are responsible for animals

We the people need to band together and get something done about animal cruelty.

I have been trying for years with no luck.

Some people just don’t care.

Some people think it is funny.

Some people are afraid to speak up.

Animals can’t speak for themselves so we, the people, have to.

I think the person mistreating an animal should get the same punishment so they will know how it feels.

What kind of person are you that you get joy out of watching a dog maim or kill another dog? Most dogs, including pit bulls, are not born mean. Someone makes them that way.

Why don’t you fight yourselves and leave the animals alone?

The law needs a much more severe punishment for animal cruelty, not just a small fine.

If you see anyone mistreating an animal you need to call and report it.

Don’t wait on someone else to make the call.
