Pets are docile: they are innocent, loving, and teachable. Yet they are still hellishly mistreated and brutally murdered, mutilated, and deserted. According to petabusers.com in their 2011 digest based upon 1,423 abuse cases, 70.1% of animals abused are dogs, 20.9% abused are cats, and 24.1% are other animals. According to the ASPCA, every 60 seconds another animal is abused. Imagine if these animals were your children or loved ones! Imagine if they were infants! This needs to end. Now.

Therefore, the people demand that animal abuse is made a crime that is punished severely and that a nationwide registry is created for all adoption centers of any type in all territories held by the United States to prevent animal abusers from ever purchasing another animal again whatsoever.
