This is important because there are too many people in this world today that are killing animals in horrendous ways..They know that they can get away with doing whatever they want to these innocent animals because of the fact that there is no real punishment for the crimes..These animals don't have a voice..but they cry, they have a heart that beats, they have feelings..just like humans do..We as their voice are the only ones that can help them and speak up for them..Many people have animals that they call their family members..Please sign this petition, maybe we can make a difference..
