Animal cruelty, abuse and neglect is a never-ending issue nationwide and in my ongoing efforts, the only way to protect these defenseless animals is through a fully enforced database. Until such is in effect throughout our country, I am hoping that success state-by-state leads us one step closer in saving all animals from cruelty. The current effort is working to protect animals throughout Kansas. Read more at http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriff/animal_abuse.asp.
An animal cruelty registry would be similar in stature to that of child abusers and sex offenders. Any person that is found guilty of any type of animal abuse, cruelty and neglect needs to be placed on this database and need to be updated on a regular basis. Additionally, these abusers need to be banned from future pet ownership or ever working with or caring for them for a lifetime. The database should then be shared with all breeders, shelters, pet shops and others in the pet industry as a mandatory resource.
The effort in this petition is to encourage the Kansas State Legislators to implement and strictly enforce an animal cruelty registry as a means of protecting poor defenseless animals. You can support this issue by signing and sharing this petition, adding your own comments and thoughts.
Kansas State Legislators – I strongly urge you to implement and strictly enforce an animal cruelty registry that would be similar in stature to that of child abusers and sex offenders. Any person that is found guilty of any type of animal abuse, cruelty and neglect needs to be placed on this database and need to be updated on a regular basis. Additionally, these abusers need to be banned from future pet ownership or ever working with or caring for them for a lifetime. The database should then be shared with all breeders, shelters, pet shops and others in the pet industry as a mandatory resource. Please take a step in protecting these defenseless animals and be their voice. This is the only way to give them the protection they need.
