🐾 PETITION UPDATE — I HAVEN’T STOPPED FIGHTING

Before anything else, I want people to understand something clearly:I have been mourning the loss of my dogs( Nikes) mother she passed away, Cancer took her from us!😢 she was very loved she lived a good life and now she is in no more pain but please know this

I have not given up.

I have not gone silent.

I am still fighting — for every animal who can’t speak for themselves.

Abandonment is cruelty. Neglect is cruelty. Abuse is cruelty.

And these actions are filling our shelters, overwhelming rescues, and leading to innocent animals being euthanized while the people responsible walk away with a slap on the wrist.

Animals don’t surrender themselves —

they are left behind, and they pay with their lives.

What I am fighting for:

✔ No more high-kill shelters nationwide

✔ A national animal-abuser registry to stop repeat offenders

✔ Stronger laws and real penalties for abuse, neglect, and abandonment

✔ Accountability for owners who chain, starve, beat, or desert animals

✔ Support and protection for rescues and people who report cruelty

Animals feel pain, fear, loss, and trauma —

just like a child, just like any living being.

They deserve the same level of protection, not excuses.

It is already happening elsewhere

Florida has begun their own animal-abuse registry.

If one state can do it, why can’t the entire nation?

In Italy, intentional animal suffering can mean 4 years in prison and up to $60,000 in fines.

Other countries take this seriously. We should too.

This fight continues — with or without support, money, or applause

I don’t have sponsors.

I don’t have donors.

I don’t have financial backing.

What I do have is: my voice, my lived experience, and my determination — and that is enough to keep pushing.

To everyone who has signed, shared, and stood beside this mission: thank you.

If my voice ever goes quiet, it’s not because I’ve stopped caring —

it’s because I’m catching my breath so I can come back swinging.

I’m still here.

I’m not done.

And neither is this fight.
