Stop Euthanizing Adoptable Animals In Shelters

Target:
animal lovers, dog and cat owners, animal rights activists
Sponsored by: 
Please sign this petition to stop the killing of adoptable animals in shelters.  We are asking that every county in every state stop euthanizing adoptable animals in shelters.  Every day there are thousands of animals that are dragged into gas chambers, stuck with heart sticks or euthanized by leathal injection.  There are approximately 5 million dogs and puppies and many more millions of cats and kittens that are needlessly put to death every year in this country alone.  America needs new and relatively obvious  laws-- such as laws making it mandatory to spay and neuter every adopted pet and outlawing puppymill breeding.  These two changes would drastically reduce the huge numbers of animals being taken in to the shelters annually.  Most people care deeply for their pets and for animals in general, but they are unaware of how many are put to death--some by horrifically inhumane means every day.  Please sign this petition to end the currently legal and inhumane killing of these loving animals--they are counting on us to save them!  Thank you for caring and signing this petition.

It's senseless and barbaric to put our animals to death. They should be able to enjoy their little lives, for, after all, their lives are far too short, for all the love, goodness and companionship they give to us!

Stop euthanizing animals. Let get to the root of the problem...mandatory spay/neuter laws. Also, hold owners accountable for their pets that are not spayed or neutered. Substantially raise the license fee for animals that are not spayed/neutered.

Every animal has a right to live. Do not support the shelters that also kill animals. Help the animals by adopting them. Most shelters should be turned into sanctuaries where people can come and volunteer to care for the animals.

I have been hoping for this since saving shelter dogs and cats for several years--healthy and sweet animals put to sleep for no reason other than stupid county ordinances or limited space and too many animals. none were sick or bad tempered. we need some laws and rights for these animals to protect them from these mass killings. esp when so many bad humans get to have so many rights. our govt needs to get involved to help these pets as we animal lovers also pay taxes and vote and are being ignored as well as these wonderful creatures. stop puppy mills that breed dogs and throw so many away if they are not perfect or dump them at kill shelters. should be spay/neuter ordinances in place in every county in USA.

People think that just killing will solve this problem. It won't and it only shows just how disrespectly we are to other species that have been given the right to live here. We don't own this land or this earth, we only have been given the right to live here. These creatures have been given the same rights. So stop the killings and DO THE RIGHT THING!

I have many friends that can afford to have their animals spayed or neutered but do not do it. Let's encourage them to step up and do what is right!
