OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF SIX BEAUTIFUL DOGS. I LOVED AND CHERISHED MY DOGS - MY BABIES AS IF THEY WERE MY BIRTH CHILDREN. IN RETURN, THEY GAVE ME UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THAT ONLY A LOVING PET OWNER COULD UNDERSTAND AND RELATE TO. OUR FURRY CHILDREN NEED US TO LOVE AND PROTECT THEM. THEY TRUST US TO FEED AND TAKE CARE OF THEM.
WHEN I HEAR THAT AN ANIMAL HAS BEEN ABUSED, STARVED OR MURDERED IT MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL. TO BE ABLE TO HARM A LIVING CREATURE THAT BREATHES AND BLEEDS AS I DO PROVES THAT THE ABUSERS HAVE NO EMPATHY. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SMALL CHILD AND AN ANIMAL NEITHER ONE CAN DEFEND ITSELF. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE LAWS THAT ARE INSTITUTED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC DO NOT INCLUDE ANIMALS. A MERE SLAP ON THE WRIST OR A COURT FINE AND YOU ARE FREE TO GO.
I CANNOT SIT BY ANY LONGER. I PLEDGE TO BE THE VOICE FOR POOR DEFENSELESS ANIMALS THAT CRY OUT IN PAIN. I NEED YOUR HELP TO CONVINCE THE LAW MAKERS THAT STIFFER PENALTIES ARE NECESSARY TO STOP THE ABUSE. WE THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE LOVE OF AN ANIMAL, AND ASK THAT THE RULES OF THE COURT BE CHANGED. THAT ANY ONE WHO HARMS AN ANIMAL IS CHARGED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, THE SAME LAW THAT GOVERNS HUMAN VICTIMS.
I, EMILY FANELLI AM ASKING ANYONE THAT HAS EVER UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED AN ANIMAL TO HELP ME CONVINCE CONGRESS THAT ANIMAL FIGHTING, NEGLECT, ABUSE OR MURDER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FEDERAL CRIME. SINCE EVERY STATE HAS EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN ANIMAL ABUSE. MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PROTECT THE ANIMALS ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND I WILL SEND IT OFF BY CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE WHITE HOUSE, LOCAL CONGRESSMEN, SENATORS , AND EVEN GOVERNOR DAVID PATTERSON. I WILL NOT ONLY STOP UNTIL MY VOICE IS HEARD. I WILL KEEP DEFENDING THESE POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS, WHICH HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HORRIBLE ABUSE AT THE HANDS OF CRUEL INDIVIDUALS.
LASTLY I ASK YOU TO REMEMBER YOUR PET AND IMAGINE THEIR LIFE IF YOU HAD NOT ADOPTED THEM OR FOUND THEM. AN ANIMAL NEEDS PROTECTION IT CAN NOT DEFEND ITSELF FROM HEARTLESS HUMANS. PLEASE HELP ME FIGHT FOR THESE LOVING ANIMALS. I KNOW I WON'T STOP FIGHTING, EVEN IF IT TAKES A LIFETIME. THIS WILL BE MY REASON FOR LIVING. PLEASE HELP ME BY SIGNING THIS PETITION TO STOP ANY ONE FROM HARMING ANOTHER FURRYCHILD.
PROTECT THE PAWS!
RESPECTFULLY YOURS,
EMILY FANELLI less
