Animals have hearts too and deserve to be treated as such!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

Someone needs to be held accountable at some point.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#676

The punishment for animal cruelty should be just as harsh as if it was to another human. Animal lives matter just as much as ours, they are no different.

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

I'm %100 against animal abuse. My animals are like family to me as all pets should be to a family and to abuse them is like abusing a person.

(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 2017-06-26)

(Mount Vernon, 2017-06-26)

#713

Of my love for animals

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

#714

We are the voice of these animals. They need our help. There is no reason animals should be treated any differently than any other living thing, they need and deserve proper care, respect, and love.

(Tiffin, 2017-06-26)

#718

This kind of stuff is sick.

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

#722

I recently adopted two dogs who both endured hard lives before I rescued them. Despite their past, they are wonderful dogs and I intend on giving them the best lives possible. I worry about the other animals in this world who suffer every day because they are with unfit owners who abuse and neglect them. A registry is a practical and necessary solution to end those animals suffering.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#724

I care.

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

#725

I would love to see stiffer laws for animal abuse. This is a good step in the right direction.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#728

We need stricter laws when it comes to animal abuse.

(Atalissa, 2017-06-26)

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#737

I am sick of seeing these abuse stories. Animals need a voice.

(Hiawatha, 2017-06-26)

#739

I'm signing because animals need a voice. Abuse of an animal in someones care is unacceptable and something needs to be done. You should be held accountable for abuse done to an animal done in your care.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#746

People need to be held accountable for their abuse and they should be prevented from EVER being able to have another animal.

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

#752

I'm signing because every single life is precious!!! No matter what kind of animal it is!! Human, winged, four legged, or finned!!! We must do whatever we can to protect them all. We are all tied together.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-26)

#753

Animals deserve respect. People who neglect and abuse animals do not. I have been an advocate for animals since I was a child. Nothing has changed in 40 years.

(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 2017-06-26)

#759

animal abuser also can abuse children, spouses, the elderly. they are sick.

(dubuque, 2017-06-26)

#760

I found this beautiful animal and was stuck watching her deteriorate while begging for help. Animals are like a toddler. They are unable to care for themselves and deserve love, food, exercise and vet care. The abuse needs to stop.

(Anamosa, 2017-06-26)

#761

Animal abuse needs to stop and those who do abuse need not care for an animal since they can't test them as they should

(Marion, 2017-06-26)

#764

Animal abuse needs stiffer penalties

(Anamosa, 2017-06-27)

It is wrong and disgusting how people can get away with such an act.

(Mount Vernon, 2017-06-27)

Animals need a voice to help protect them.

(Cedar rapids, 2017-06-27)

#773

We need to stop animal abuse and punish those who are offenders. I believe we should push for an animal abuse registry

(Solon, Iowa, 2017-06-27)

#776

Because abuse against animals is wrong! People should be held accountable for their actions.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-27)

#777

I've been wanting for a long time. It is long overdue. I favor STIFF $ penalties, including jail to deter abuse.

(Fairfax, 2017-06-27)

#780

I think that this is something we need in Iowa. It breaks my heart that people would do things like this to undeserving animals who love so unconditionally.

(Iowa City, 2017-06-27)

#786

No animal should have to go thru that.

(Prairieburg, 2017-06-27)

#787

No animal should ever endure this neglect and the owner of this dog should never be allowed to own a pet again.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-27)

#789

I'm signing because it's about damn time we have more regulations on animal ownership.

(Garrison, 2017-06-27)

Animals don't have the right to speak for themselves. It isn't fair that they be put in the hands of previous offenders.
