Pawsitive Rescue Armenia NGO has created a petition to develop laws in Armenia for Animals' Protection and Welfare.

The grounds for this initiative is the ongoing inhuman, cruel and unimaginable acts occurring towards stray dogs in Yerevan and all over Armenia. In the recent months, 6 official misconducts of such have been registered in Yerevan alone. These horrific acts include shooting dogs, breaking their legs, burning them, beating them, and more. A majority of misconducts are never publicized; therefore the actual number of occurrences is severely greater than the official numbers represent. Laws are desperately needed to protect them from such cruel acts and hold those who commit them criminally liable.
