Animal Abuse should be a criminal offence

There are too many sick, twisted people in this world who get away with abusing innocent animals daily.  My hope is to make animal abuse and any other form of mistreatement to an animal more than just a fine or 12 months imprisonment-including live export and mistreatment of animals on farms. In this day and age animals are treated as our children and they need to have the same justice a human child would if he or she was abused, mistreated or killed. Your signatures would be greatly appreciated!!

-6,489,500 animal cruelty incidents were recorded in Aus 2012!

In America:
-10,000 Bulldogs are killed in bullfightes each year
-3 to 4 million cats and dogs(healthy and adoptable) are euthanized in animal shelters each year - if they are not euthanized they are sent to a "no-kill shelter" where the animal can spend days, weeks, months even years in a cage causing them to go insane and die of lonliness.
-Millions of day-old male chickens are killed in high capacity macerator(basically a big grinder) ever year as they are "no use" to the egg industry.
-1.13 million animals in the United States alone are used for research and testing each year.
-Scientist estimate that 100 species of animals go extinct every day.
