MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN A ANIMAL'S LIFE

This is a petition i started a few years ago. i collected 284 signatures. my grandchildren want to get involved, so we are reposting this in hopes of collecting 1000 signatures and sending it all the way to the president! please help us reach our goal.

our petition consists of three parts:

1. Ban all KILLING in shelters

2. Change the state law(city ordinance) on the number of dogs allowed in a home

3. lower the price of adopting animals from shelters

WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO BAN KILLINGS IN SHELTERS

   these animals have the right to ive

what gives us the right to take their lives from them?

it's not their fault that there are irresponsible humans in this world, so

why should they have to pay the price with their lives?

we supply government funding for so many other causes, why can't we help with the keeping and caring of these homeless animals?

which brings me to the 2nd part of our petition:

THE STATE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AS TO HOW MANY ANIMALS YOU CAN OWN

right now, in my town, the number of dogs you may own is 3

we would like to see that changed, so more people would be able to give more of the homeless animals homes.

if we could get it changed; we have come up with a few suggestions:

option 1:  1 big dog and 3 little dogs

option 2: 2 big dogs and 2 little dogs

option 3: 4 little dogs

so there would still be some regulating from the state, but having 3 options to choose from, would give up as owners choices, and would give more homeless animals a better chance at a forever home.

which brings me to the 3rd part of our petition:

CHARGE LESS FOR ADOPTION

   If shelters charged less, more people could afford to adopt and less animals would have to be put down.

Think of how these animals might feel finally being in their forever homes.

There is a shelter in indiania, that does NOT charge a adoption fee!

they understand that the intial cost of owning an animal is expensive, vetting, food, bedding, ect

their GOAL, to place more animals in homes,. not graves!

   We can not afford to look the other way any longer, there are so many homeless animals that need our help!

we as humans have rights and we need to start exercising them!

STOP THE KILLING! CHANGE THE KILL SHELTERS INTO RESCUE CENTERS!

SAVE THESE ANIMALS BY:raising the number of animals you may own within the city limits, and LOWER THE ADOPTION FEE, so it's more affordable. it costs around $200.00 to adopt from a shelter right now!

added : after receiveing some helpful comments, i would like to amend option #2.

and add that for the options we have proposed to work effectively, they would have to apply to any homeowner.

Apartment dwellers or house renters should have options that pertain to their oiving arrangements and that fall in accordance to each individual home or apartment renter's agreement.  Such as:

1. 2 small dogs

2. 1 medium/large dog

We would like to say thank you to all who take the time to read and sign this!

it is a very important issue to us
