Require all animal stores and adoption agencies to check the registry before the
animal is sold to any person.

 Require from the time of birth that every dog and cat be micro chipped and registered in the system with a permanent record that must indicate at all times the current owner. Require people change ownership on that record if the animal is ever sold or given to another person. This would greatly decrease abusers from being able to purchase other animals and also deter people who are using them for dog fights and animal cruelty because of the ability to have them tracked. If we keep track of the vehicles in this country then we should be keeping track of live animals that are household pets.

Animals don't have a voice and are unable to protect themselves. It is the responsabilty of the good nature of mankind to ensure that they are safe from people who abuse them. We have a chance to save so many pets lives if we change the laws that govern them. Part of being a good society is ensuring that all that are in it have the right to be protected from abuse and cruelty. Protect the animals today by signing this petition.
