I am a big animal activist and this kind of ABUSE needs to STOP!!! Anyone who abuses animals needs to let the punishment fit the crime!!! I am soooooo SICK of reading these TERRIBLE tales of abuse! We need to make a difference and our laws need to change and treat animal abuse like people abuse!!!!!

Why are there so many big cats in cages. This cruelty has to stop. Big cats must have exercise and can't be left to die in cages. Terribly cruel.

Children and pets are at the mercy of those that care for them. People who abuse them should be held accountable and face the charges they deserve for their unacceptable actions. When people join together they can make a difference in those that are in need our help.

animals are helpless, and they have been Created by God and all creatures belong to God, I have 2 dogs and I would never let anyone abuse my dogs..they have feelings although some people do not believe it..just yell at a dog and tell me they don't have feelings, and what about all the people, especially children who have been rescued by dogs..they can intuitively hear more then we can..they need to be protected and I am thankful for the law being passed in Ohio for their protection..lets see...

I agree,, my dog is smarter than me.

BECAUSE I LOVE ALL ANIMALS, AND TO ABUSE THEM IS A CRIME. A PERSON WHO WILL ABUSE AN ANIMAL, MAY GO ON TO ABUSE A HUMAN, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE RESPECT FOR LIFE.

Anyone who will be voice for the voiceless animal kingdom, I always support. They cannot tell us what they feel, so as humans, have a real responsiblity to animlas and have the common sense to help and do what is necessary to protect and raise the needed awareness and attention the forgotten animals who cant tell us what they are going through.

me and friends have mananged to save and rehome from cats & dogs to horses this year. I hope other foster or retrain so they get chances. Even abandoned baby wildlife need a hand when they are found motherless due to their death

it is our voice that speaks for those who cannot speak. It is our hope to heal our society of cruelty in all forms, and guide the offenders to a new way. We cannot disregard any life, we do not get to decide whose life is less or more important.... there are many who do not redirect cruelty they suffered onto others.. who may be weaker and vulnerable trusting and helpless...and we cannot ignore these symptoms of societies illnesses...we need to heal this pain and violence...and be taken...

I am stunned that a mother and a daughter would ever do this. Let alone be repeat offenders plus live to tell the tale. AND no jail sentence??? I can see what fraudsters they are, they sold themselves to the judge and all who were able to prosecute them. The bottom line here was they were in this to make money out of a puppy mill factory and the bottom line was they did not give a shit about any lives especially those of the innocent animals. What a bunch of 2 bit shits. They may rot in hell!!

You can see from their ugly, evil, smirking faces that they just got away with a horrific crime!

Thank you Zach for this one. I'll be making lots of posts that week

There is no reason to kill animals for any reason, we should put some of this on the apparel industry to stop using animal for profit. Does some rich bitch rally need to pay $50,000.00 for an animal bag...I have always worked with animals and all they ask from us is love...STOP KILLING ANIMAL!!!!

A-men !!!!!!

This is something that I really hate is someone hurting there pets , that do nothing but show love to there owners. People that harm there pets should have the same thing done to them once there caught. My dogs have been there for me through dangerous surgeries , and they have always loved me unconditionally , as I do them.
