For as long as animals have been inhabited by humans, there has been cases of animal abuse. Whether it is not feeding a pet properly or inflicting physical harm to a pet, the veins of animal abuse run deep throughout all regions of the world. In my community, Sussex County, New Jersey, there are multiple animal shelters that take in such pets who receive abuse. Although these establishments exist and help ease the effects of animal abuse, there are very little campaigns and protests that advocate against the cause. As a lifelong owner of pets, specifically dogs, I am deeply saddened that animal abuse is still a present and trending case today. By gaining signatures on this petition, I hope to gain the attention of New Jersey Governor, Phil Murphy, in order to make a drastic change for man's best-friend!
