There should be harsher penalties and more defined rules concerning animal abuse. The beating of the dog in Albemarle county was horrendous. Also I pass hound dogs on Dudley mountain road in small outdoor pens in single digit weather AND in 90+ degree weather. Cruel dangerous conditions for these dogs. Nothing is done about it.
Beth supported: Justice for Dogs: Maximum Sentence for Animal Cruelty Defendants, Pending ConvictionHumans who make a choice to own an animal have a responsibility to provide at minimum, basic needs and any and all medical attention required. Owning an animal is a choice and any abuse, neglect or suffering is also a deliberate choice. With many options available for pet owners who may be struggling including but not limited to:
Low cost veterinary services, assistance in obtaining necessary food, and options to surrender the animal to local shelters, any mistreatment is willful and intentional. Our community will not tolerate willful neglect and abuse of animals in our area. The maximum penalties are indicated for those who seek financial gain at the expense and intentional suffering of other living beings. Owning an animal is a privilege that should be beneficial to both pet and human. It is not a right and does not come without responsibility and consequences. Our community is placing trust in our legal system to uphold the laws and regulations and standards that are set to protect the voiceless.
Rebecca supported: Justice for Dogs: Maximum Sentence for Animal Cruelty Defendants, Pending ConvictionThese pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills puppy mill moms and dad’s are treated in the most inhumane manner. I own a puppy mill survivor and he will never be a normal dog because of the abuse he suffered in the mill not to mention that most of these dogs gotten from the puppy mills are sick and they’re not well taken care of at this Manassas pet store. Their water bowls are always empty. Shut them down now.
Jonna supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyI have been a lover of animals all of my life. I’ve had dogs since I was 2 yrs old. This breaks my heart when puppies are treated like this. This is unacceptable and we must all do something about this.
Kimberly supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyI aw the photos of dogs in faeces, water only via bottles ‘guinea pig feeders’ they walk on wire floors so the urine seeps through. They don’t get walked. They have no love. They sell 50 a week! Shelters are full of adoptable pets. We don’t need this barbaric treatment of young puppies. Ban these stores from Prince William County!
Jennie supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyKeeping Dogs in glass and metal enclosures - no toys, no beds, nothing soft to lay on, and never taking them outside - is worse than a rescue shelter where at least they have a blanket or bed to lie on and a toy to chew on and are taken outside twice a day. It’s just another form of animal cruelty for money making purposes! Shame on you for allowing this to happen!!
Alessandra supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyI have loved animals all my life. I had a Jack Russell that I had for 14 years that was my heart and soul I took him everywhere with me and he passed away on me 2 years ago due to stomach cancer. I do not want to see no animal harmed, dangered or abused. It saddens me that the world we live in today how they treat these hopeless, loving animals and something needs to be done about it.
Takeya supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyTickets Mill had a pet store years ago. My daughter bought a chihuahua without my permission. It cried all the time. Turns out it was inseparably from its brother so I bought the brother so they could be together. Went back for a collar and there was another one from the same breeder .Said they had lost it for awhile!!!- Every dog in the place had kennel cough. I ended up with the third sibling because I didn't want it to go back to the breeder. They were shut down a few weeks later. Pet shops encourage breeders. We don't need any in our county.
Hope supported: Implement the Directive to Prevent Puppy Shops in Prince William CountyI am a senior now,was an an̈small rescues, we fought against these horrible , hellish pet shops and handled many of the puppies born with horrible defects after they were thrown away by owners who couldn't or wouldn't invest the money for the treatment they needed. Many states have outlawed these puppy meals and pet shops. It makes me happy that the younger generation is carrying the fight on. God Bless You! Dottie C
