I wanted to make this petition open to anyone in the state of Kentucky so that you can see how much the people care about animals and what happens to them. Kentucky is one of the least caring states, when it comes to animal abuse laws and punishment. To often this topic is put on the back burner and not given the attention it deserves. The time should be now, that we make a change to help the animals and people of this state. This is to show you we want animal cruelty laws to actually be enforced and to be very strict about it. People need to know that if they witness animal cruelty that they can call the proper authorities, and they will actually do their job. Right now, it's hard to do the right thing when you know nothing will come of it. Animals are not just property and should not be treated as such! Please be the first officials to make a difference in our state by helping us take care of our furry family members!
