The purpose of this petition is to stop and prevent animal cruelty. Animal cruelty is the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals. Some examples of animal cruelty are animal euthanasia, dog fighting, underfeeding, keeping them outside in severe weather, abandonment, and hitting animals. Everyday animals are being abused and dying because people aren't doing anything about it. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to stop animal cruelty.
