ANIMAL ABANDONMENT PUNISHMENT IN NV
WE WANT HARSHER PUNISHMENTS FOR THOSE WHO SIMPLY ABANDON THEIR ANIMALS. CURRENTLY NEVADAS PUNISHMENT IS A MISDEMEANOR WITH A 200-1,000 FINE. A POSSIBLE 2DAY TO 6MONTH IMPRISONMENT. AND COMMUNITY SERVICE OF 48 TO 120 HOURS.
THE ABANDONMENT OF ANIMALS IN NEVADA HAVE OVERCROWDED OUR SHELTERS.THESE ARE ADULTS WHO ARE SIMPLY WALKING AWAY FROM A RESPONSIBILITY THEY CHOSE. THE ANIMALS ARE THE ONES WHO SUFFER, LEFT ALONE WITH NO FOOD , NO WATER AND NO HEAT. WONDERING WHERE THEIR FAMILY THAT ONCE LOVED AND CARED FOR THEM HAS GONE.
NEIGHBORING STATES HAVE MADE THIS CRIME A FELONY WITH MANDATORY FINES AND IMPRISONMENT. LETS MAKE SOME CHANGES! LETS MAKE ANIMAL ABANDONMENT A FELONY IN NEVADA!
WE THE UNDERSIGNED WISH TO HAVE A HARSHER PUNISHMENT FOR ANIMAL ABANDONMENT IN NEVADA.
OUR STATES SHELTERS ARE OVERCROWDED WITH HOMELESS PETS. WE MUST INCREASE PUNISHMENTS FOR ANIMAL ABANDONMENT TO DISCOURAGE THESE ACTS. PETS ARE NOT DISPOSABLE!! PROVIDING HARSHER PUNISHMENT TO THOSE WHO ABANDON ANIMALS WILL HELP PROMOTE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS AND RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP. IN TURN THIS WILL KEEP OUR SHELTERS FROM BEING OVERCROWDED AND KEEP THE STATES ANIMAL EUTHANASIA NUMBERS DOWN. BEING THAT OUR STATE IS SUCH A HUGE TOURIST ATTRACTION WE SHOULD BE LEADING THE WAY IN ANIMAL RIGHTS RATHER THAN SLAGGING BEHIND IN SUCH HUGE EPIDEMICS THAT PLAGUE OUR COMMUNITY. LETS PULL TOGETHER TO MAKE LAS VEGAS MORE THAN AN ATTRACTION BUT A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. A PLACE THAT IS A LEADER IN ANIMAL RIGHTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
