I signed the petition "Ensure That Animal Cruelty is Treated as a Serious Crime". I'm asking you to sign this petition to help us reach our goal of 20,000 signatures. I care deeply about this cause, and I hope you will support our efforts.
Child and animal protection professionals have recognized that there is an inherent link between animal abuse and other forms of societal violence.
But reported incidents of animal cruelty are still not getting the attention they deserve because there is no national system designed to track these crimes.
Tell your Senators to make sure animal cruelty is treated as a serious crime!
The practice of dogfighting perfectly illustrates this connection, as it is almost always linked to illegal drug and weapons violations, gambling, aggravated assault and gang violence.
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has introduced the Tracking Animal Cruelty Crimes Act of 2007, which would require the FBI to add animal cruelty as a separate category in its National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
Sign the petition today and speak for the voiceless!!!! Click on this link.
Thank you!
