I want to help  stop the abuse of defenseless  animals . Once convicted  of animal abuse it should be illegal for any one to have any type of animal and they should have to register like pedophiles do. Pet stores or any should have to look  up the person wanting an animal and if the are on this list no deal. Whether they buy or get them for free.  It should be called Tommy's  Law after the poor dog in Richmond,  va covered in accelerat tied to a pole she's set on fire.  He died from his wounds.
