We have 6,024 supporters and we need so many more. Remember this happening. The former boyfriend found out where his former girlfriends dog was, and he went and got him. What did he want him for? He tracked him down in a shelter and he went and adopted him. A month later the dog was found beaten, starved and strangled to death. He admitted he did all of this to this poor dog. Guess what? HE GOT NO JAIL TIME! Too bad this dog could not say don't kill me and be alive today. That dog did not get that chance. His life was taken from him. Please read article it will tell you all about it and what they are planning on doing now. Please go to: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-house-of-representatives-give-the-animals-rights Sign petition demanding stiffer punishment for All Abusers as well as to get rid of Kill Shelters. Nothing against the employees who are doing their job but too many animals are being abused and/or killed and it has to be stopped. They do not deserve to be abuse or killed. A lot of people are very upset over what is going on. Now I am going to post some of the comments just in case you do not see them. I am not going to mention names. 1. 9 hours ago The lowlife MORON POS that killed Desmond should have gotten prison time. Anyone that takes a dog and a month later they have starved him, beat him and then strangled him needs beat, starved and put in a cell!! 2. 8 hours ago It's horrifying that he got less punishment than a shoplifter would have. 3. 9 hours ago I will NEVER understand when a judge gives an animal abuser/killer a slap on the wrist!!! Studies have shown that people who start out abusing and torturing animals can become more violent down the road with humans. Animal abuse, neglect, torture and death should be a FELONY CHARGE! This is a serious act against an innocent animals, and needs to have more HARSH punishment! Rest in peace Desmond. You are safe now :( I think these 3 say it all. Please Help, Sign and Please Share! I really need your help in sharing this petition as much as our animals need every one of us to help them.Thank you, P.S. Some States do have this as a felony charge. Even being a felony, the punishment is still not that much for the crime they have committed. Here is a site that shows what the punishment is. http://www.straypetadvocacy.org/PDF/AnimalCrueltyLaws.pdf
