We need to start somewhere and expand animal laws across every state. As an advocate against animal abuse and a volunteer at local shelters in Canada and Michigan, I have witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking reality of euthanizing animals due to insufficient time for adoption or rescue in different states but predominantly in North Carolina, Texas, and California. However, in Texas especially at Animal Care Services (ACS) in San Antonio and BARC in Houston, Texas. Both  rescue locations are well-known for euthanizing healthy animals that have been at the shelter for only three days.

Euthanasia is prevalent across the United States, where 'kill shelters' are forced to euthanize animals that aren't adopted within a certain timeframe. 

It's estimated that 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year in the United States (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). This number includes dogs and cats who could have been adopted into loving homes if given more time.

Moreover, it's important to note that many of these animals end up in shelters due to abusive owners who face little or no consequences for their actions. Stricter laws need to be implemented against animal abusers as they contribute significantly towards this crisis. 

We urge lawmakers and relevant authorities across America to put an end to expedited euthanasia by extending the timeframe given for animal adoption and implementing stricter laws against animal abuse. By doing so, we can ensure that more innocent lives are saved from unnecessary euthanasia while holding those responsible accountable.

Euthanasia should be used (1) when a dog is suffering from a condition for which veterinary medicine cannot offer a cure or solution at any cost; (2) the condition is already causing the animal severe pain for which palliative measures are not available. 
We know that euthanasia is a way to manage animal overpopulation in the shelters ; however, euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals imposes a significant cost, affecting the health and well-being of the shelter staff involved. Animal euthanasia causes health issues and emotional stress in employees and volunteers involved.

Moreover, killing healthy animals has legal consequences and is considered a crime because euthanasia only treats the symptoms but not the cause of the problems of overpopulation. Shelters should reduce the number of surrendered animals by focusing on communication strategies that focus on responsible pet ownership and also by extending the holding times for animals to be adopted and rescued. Shelters should never euthanize a mother and their weeks-old puppies and shouldn't accept a pet that is surrendered without offering solutions to the owner. Pets are surrendered because the owner cannot afford vet care or they may face financial constraints. I  believe reducing birth rates has a great influence on reducing dog relinquishment and consequently euthanasia. It is essential to develop strategies to control overpopulation such as providing education to owners about spaying -neutering and creating free sterilization programs for low-income families. It's crucial to educate our population about voluntary sterilization as an effective way to reduce shelter intake.

I believe that spaying - neutering has several advantages (1) promotes health and longevity to our pets (2) reduce the risk of certain life-threatening infections, such as uterine infection, mammary and prostate cancer (3) improve pet behavioural issues that lead owners to surrender their pets. 
Spaying-neutering doesn’t just enhance pet’s well -being , it also alleviate the burden on animal shelters and rescues who frequently experience limited resources and space.

I believe that the state of Texas  and other state in the USA should promote spay-neuter practices in stationary shelters and mobile clinics, along with making low-cost spay-neuter surgery programs more available to the regular public. This can be done by increasing the number of contract spay-neuter partnerships to increase the overall availability of surgeries.

Furthermore, we can control animal overpopulation by promoting more foster programs and having sufficient marketing that supports the regular use of social media platforms to advertise adoptable animals. This is a good way to increase awareness of the current animal situation. The City needs to develop a No-Kill plan to reduce shelter deaths. This can be achieved by 1) adopting new perspectives toward zero animal euthanasia.2) networking with rescue organizations to implement the best animal and welfare practices.

Federal animal laws need to be enforced to protect animal welfare in every state in the USA . People who are involved in animal cruelty are violating the animal code and we must stop this barbarism.We want to stop human violence against animals and we asking our government and other identities to have animal abuser registries that intend to alert the public to the presence of animal cruelty offenders in our community. Offenders should be registered at shelters and any other animal identities to prevent them from abusing any other animals. The government needs to create a maximum penalty for those who commit this type of crime.
We also need harsher restrictions and laws towards breeders. Breeders should register and have a license that is renewed annually by a licensed inspector. The government needs to have more regulations regarding adopting dogs from private breeders. The government should force the breeders to report each litter and track litters to prevent over-breeding within related dogs to avoid the inevitable health conditions related to inbreeding. Moreover, female dogs should have a limit on how many litters they can have.

If the breeder is for profit, they need to claim on taxes showing where that money comes from. Private breeders should spay-neuter the litter before selling the puppies. This avoids animal overpopulation, and this would ease the burden of animal shelters  and rescues.

Overall, the government needs to enforce laws that protect animals and do a better job of protecting the welfare of every animal from cruel conditions and illegal puppy mills.

Moreover, since non- profit organizations rely on solid donations the government needs to allocate a percentage of the tax payers money to animals rescues  organizations so they can save more innocent lives. Taxpayers money can be used for spay-neuter animals and to promote national campaigns to improve foster care. Social media advertisement and fostering partnerships with community engagement can be a great way to connect with small businesses and stakeholders to eliminate euthanasia in this state.

Please sign this petition if you believe every animal deserves a chance at life and love. Let us work together toward creating a better world for our furry friends! Let's stand together for animal rights and put animal abusers behind bars. We need these changes in every state in the USA. Especially in California, Texas and North Carolina. The country is under a big crisis due to illegal backyard breeders activity, who are dumping animals in empty fields with zero chance for these animals to survive. 

Consider all the responsibilities and consequences of pet ownership before deciding to get a pet and always make a lifetime commitment to your pet.

By signing this petition you have the opportunity to protect an animal from cruelty or exploitation from every state. Your support of the petitions below will create a better life for animals around the world. In addition, we want better attitudes towards zero euthanasia of treatable and adoptable animals. My goal is to keep everyone informed about every degree and progress in this petition. 

The money raised from this petition will be donated to rescue groups, non-profit  organizations, and to make pledges to keep these animals safe and from being euthanized because Animal’s Lives Matter.

Donations would be greatly appreciated and can be made to soleil4655@yahoo.ca via PayPal.This money will donate to non- profit rescue organizations.
