Stricter animal abuse punishment laws

The Issue

Its heartbreaking to hear and read about these poor animals that are getting tortured, abused and neglected with little to no punishment. Also, there are not enough places like Waverly Pet Rescue that have people voluntarily take in these neglected animals and find them good homes. Pictures are our dogs. I thought I'd show happy pictures rather than sad, abused ones. The grey one on the right was our foster dog that we adopted. We don't know exactly what happened to her, but we know she was definitely abused. But, still turned out to be the best dog!
