Strengthen Animal Cruelty Laws in Honor of Susie!

  • av: Care2 Team
  • mottagare: North Carolina Legislature
Susie, the beloved pitbull mix who became a symbol of hope and perseverance after inspiring important animal cruelty laws, has passed away. The beautiful dog, who survived horrendous abuse, later went on to put her paw print to North Carolina legislation which increased the penalties for animal cruelty. Susie spent much of her amazing life visiting hospitals, schools, and even won the Hero Dog Award from the Humane Society. But animal cruelty persists in the state, and legislators must uphold Susie's amazing legacy!

Sign now to demand that sentencing and ownership laws for animal cruelty in North Carolina be strengthened in Susie's honor!

In 2009, Susie was found in a park, covered in maggots, horrifically beaten and even burned.
After being examined by veterinarians at a shelter in the area, experts estimated that she had been left in that tragic condition for weeks. Susie was missing teeth, burns covered well over half of her body, and her jaw was broken. As a puppy, she had endured any dog's worst nightmare. Susie's story is a devastating example of why animal cruelty laws are so important.

North Carolina is currently ranked appallingly low for animal protections -- 42nd out of all 50 states. This is a disgrace to Susie and the many, many animals who have endured horrifying abuse. But the North Carolina legislature can take a few simple steps to dramatically increase animal welfare in the state. By adding statutorily authorized sentencing to mental health evaluation or treatment and a ban on animal ownership for people convicted of felony animal cruelty to Susie's Law, the lives of untold animals could be protected.

Sign the petition now to tell legislators in North Carolina: the time is now to stand for animal rights! Fight against animal cruelty in honor of Susie!
