ENFORCE FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY PROVISIONS COUNTRYWIDE

Dear President Obama, As you know every member of the community must understand the difference between right and wrong regardless of age. As a member of the community we know that we must treat each other with love, dignity, and respect and to help one another grow including animals.

A month ago, Gertrude McQuiller, whom was currently been arrested, intentionally gave a 5 year old pitbull pup by the name of Kia, a lethal dose of antidepressant known as Xanax. All because she speculated that her husband was sleeping with another woman. As a result Kia the pup was suffering from painful seizures, and suffered around 10 minutes to 30 minutes. Of the 7.4 million people who have witnessed this, they believe she suffered around 1 hour or more since a total of 4 videos have circulated on youtube and facebook.

Our animals are family to us and they deserve our love, protection, and care. Our laws are so lax against protecting our pets that someone who kills them would only be fined in a worst case scenario; In some states the whistleblower is even punished for reporting such incidents.

We the signed come before you with a carefully crafted rule known as “Mans Best Friend” and demand that It becomes law all across the United States of America. So our country can be an example to others across the world.

Any similar laws existing in their respective states that already consider it a Class A felony, It should be enforced immediately. If the similar laws that already exist consider it any other class of felony, may this law replace those relaxed laws.

In addition, any codes and/or regulations punishing whistleblowers for reporting incidents in good faith shall be completely pardoned. Whether our pets are guarding us in the military or at home, We demand that once and for all we wish to protect our pets as they are our family.
