I have always loved animals. Over the years my husband and I have owned cats, dogs, a cute little cockatiel and right now we have two minature poms. Ususally we just found or inherited heinze 57 pets. Oh yeah, I forgot the pet fish and hamsters! This cause is important to me because I do not like to see animals hurt. I also love and want to save the "baby humans." They are being disrespected and treated and tossed away like animals. Since 1973, 57 million have been tortured and killed just...

I have always loved animals. Over the years my husband and I have owned cats, dogs, a cute little cockatiel and right now we have two minature poms. Ususally we just found or inherited heinze 57 pets. Oh yeah, I forgot the pet fish and hamsters! This cause is important to me because I do not like to see animals hurt. I also love and want to save the "baby humans." They are being disrespected and treated and tossed away like animals. Since 1973, 57 million have been tortured and killed just in the United States. Worldwide 42 million were "put down" if you will, l just last year. These babies are created in the image and likeness of God and have an eternal soul and all the animals that ever were do not equate with the value, worth and dignity of one child. We may all be "animals" but there is a distinction.

YES, MAKE ANIMAL ABUSE A FELONY and treat the abusers like criminals

A fetus is dependent on the decision of their parents; Animals are dependent on the decisions of a community - let's band together and protect the innocent, let's direct our elected representatives and our population-made celebrities; let's have them represent the true Us! Let's have them spend the good fortune we gave to them on proper causes we want corrected - innocent woman, children and animals!

I love dogs and other animals. They cannot defend themselves and are subjected to the cruelty of hideous and stupid human beings. They have the capacity to love. Can feel pain like we do. They are living and breathing God's creatures. Do not do unto God's creatures what you do not want done unto you.

Because St. Francis of Assisi would preach to the animals, which shows that he believes, as do I, that animals have souls.

This is important to me because I have a HUGE HEART for animals. Animals can be a huge blessing to us, so I want use to be a voice for them when they are treated inhumanely.

All animals should be treated as we would like to be treated

because I have and will always rescue a pittbull.

people know hurt my dog and get a beat down.....real talk.

word. Mess with my kids or my dog and your messing days are over.

How about making the offenders work in an animal shelter? With supervision, of course. Maybe some compassion will emerge.

Our animals are our babies and we love them so much. Hurting an animal is like hurting a human... No difference except sometimes animals cant fight back. No animal should ever be hurt in any way ever!!!!

Cause what makes us better than a dog or monkey or even a fly. We should all be treated like brothers. We all have hearts and feelings and brains. We are all living creatures on earth. Beating or killing an animal for no reason but fun should be viewed as murder. Killing for food in a human way is differant.
