Dated 2015 a few months ago. Hi! My name is mutt. Im called mutt because my drug owners use that name for me.. I was born in this drug house with all these bad men. They make other dogs hurt me, but I dont know why. The cops won't do anything because no one ever gets it on video, even though I have scars, cuts, bruises, I'm skinny and I don't get food or water much. I don't know how old I am, all I know is that I'm just a little pitbull. I don't know what the inside of my house looks like because I live in a blue barrel in the yard 24 hours 7 days a week.. why won't anyone help? Dated about half a year to a year ago. Hi! My name is kitty. They call me kitty and a lot of other names. I go home maybe once a week. My owners let me out. I have a lot of other names from a lot of other people who have to feed me because my owners don't like me. I'm clawless, so i have to catch what i can with my teeth. I have been taken to 2 different shelters and back to my so called home about 6 or 7 times. doesn't anyone want me?... We treat animals as if they aren't important. We need to make animals matter just as important as people! Let's declare all animals in ALL 50 states, sentient beings! Animals have feelings too! Would you leave your child outside in the cold, rain, or heat? Someone kills a person, they get 25 to life. Someone kills an animal, they get a couple years or even just community service!!! The lonest sentencing for animal cruelty is 5 years! ONLY 5 YEARS.. It's time that we make killing and hurting an animal, just as severe in the laws eyes as if it were a human being.. after all. We are animals too. Proven by God and by sience! We may be more sophisticated, but a being is a being! A few months ago a drug house full of guys had like 3 fighting pit bulls outside. They only fed them when it was convenient, and they had little to no water. One had cuts scars and bruises on it, yet the police wouldn't do anything even though I saw the guys throw the dog down. There's a family in Rock Island who kept letting there declawed cat out. It always made its way to our house in Moline, starved. We took it to the shelter at least 4 times and every time the people got the cat back, and always let it out again!! Us giving animals more rights will bring the animal population up, decreasing our chances of having to see an abused animal in pain and suffering. It will bring our community to a more peaceful, respectfull and loving community when it comes to animals. A lot of people don't see it, but animals are helpless and they need a voice. Now it's time to give them a voice!!!
