THIS state needs to step up these horrendous puppy mills. The state is full of them but no action is ever taken.

It sickens me to read about all of the animal abuse going on and the offender just gets a slap on the wrist. We need to protect all animals from harm!

Signing because it's way past time animals are treated as living beings, not reguarded as property. Also, long overdue is much stiffer punishment for animal cruelty. We are their voice. It's about time we're heard.

People who mistreat animals don’t deserve a second chance.

Kira deserved better. Her owners deserve punishment and at the very least not to be able
To have animals anymore

(Dubuque, 2018-01-04)

I am signing because no dog deserves to be treated this way! These owners do NOT deserve the privilege of EVER owning another pet. The state of IA needs to update their statutes on animal abuse to coincide with other states. If IA does not do this, they are just as guilty as the abusive owners!

No one should be allowed to abuse animals like this a second time. My ex starved my dog almost to death while I fought for him during our divorce and received only a $50 fine.

(Cedar Rapids, 2018-01-05)

Animal abuse needs to carry a much harsher penalty.

(North Liberty, 2018-01-05)

No other dog should have to go through what Kira did. Ever.

Any sort of abuse towards a human or an animal should not be tolerated and needs to be punishable by law. Its sad that the great state that I have grown up in and love does not do anything to protect the animals. Please do something about this.

Animal Abuse needs to stop and there has to be fines and jail time, and a Registry. Those that hurt animals need help. This just sickens me. Animals give us all unconditional love. All animals need to be treated with Love and Respect. Animals are companions, they help us heal.

People who miss treat animals clearly should not be allowed to have more of them. Animal abuse breaks my heart.

I'm signing because animal abuse laws in Iowa are outdated and antiquated. The animal companions that share our lives deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. In honor of Chase, Roslin, and Teddy.

No animals should have to suffer at the hands of known abusers!

(Cedar rapids, 2018-03-24)

#1277

I’m signing because animals deserve better than this. People that refuse to take care of an animal, shouldn’t have the privilege of owning one. Lock’em up and throw away the key!

I am totally against any form of animal abuse. We need to go after these sick people who feel the need to hurt or punish innocent loving animals.

(Cedar Rapids, 2018-05-19)

#1284

I'm signing for those animals that can't speak for themselves, and need the protection.

Some days I care more about animal abuse. Some days I love animals more than anyone. Some days I would love nothing more than the abuse an animal takes to be bestowed upon the abuser. Some days I only want to see my animals faces...not human faces!!!

Animal abuse should be treated the same as child abuse or any abuse. Innocent beings being harmed with nothing they can do about it, there needs to be a punishment.

(Cedar Rapids, 2018-09-24)

Tired of people abusing poor innocent animals. They have no voice.

(Washington, 2018-10-10)

Animal abuse needs to be stopped with implementing of strict laws and punishment to abusers.

(Tulsa, 2019-07-18)

#1309

I am signing because this has to stop. Animal are living breathing beings who experience pain just as we do. These people ( I say that lightly)who did this deserve to be given jail time but also never be allowed to have another animal in their lives.

(Stockbridge, 2019-07-18)

The laws need to be stricter to prevent the abuse of animals who cannot defend themselves.

(East Dubuque, 2019-07-19)

#1327

I do not like to see defenseless animals get abused. They do not need this. We need to take care of them and love them. .

(Worthington, 2019-07-19)

Iowa needs to address the lack of laws that protect domestic pets. We just had a guy kill 2 dogs with an axe last week. They people abusing animals end up abusing people. There has to be accountability. Wake up Iowa. Your animal protection laws are an embarrassment.

(Cedar Rapids, 2019-09-23)

#1341

I feel we need to stand up for these defenseless animals that can’t speak up for themselves this kind of thing is despicable and needs to be dealt with instead of slap on hand

I am signing because the abusive owners NEEDS to be properly prosecuted and suffer dire consequences!

(Conesville, 2019-10-02)

#1350

Animals matter. They have feelings. They feel pain. And anyone who can harm an animal can also have the mentality to harm humans as well.

(Marengo, 2019-10-02)

#1351

we need to change our laws so people who do not take care of their animals are not allowed to have animals ever again. We need to punish them with jail time and fines.

(Cedar Rapids, 2019-10-02)

#1355

I'm signing because those abusing animals must be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

(Chariton, 2019-10-18)

#1360
