Many congratulations on your historic win! It was long fought, and I am thrilled about the new direction I sincerely believe our country is headed toward.
That said, I hope you will now consider taking significant steps toward eliminating animal abuse. I know that your plate is very full, but this effort is desperately needed. Your attention will require little money, just the encouragement of legislation to create laws mandating humane farming conditions, and severe penalties for animal abuse. Sentient beings, such as pigs, dogs and cats, may not have the cognitive capacity of humans, but they love their young, seek for security and order in their environments, and feel pain in exactly the same neurological manner as humans.
Although I am a vegetarian, I do not expect the vast majority of human beings to change their carnivorous dietary habits, anytime soon, at least. But, although farm animals are being lead inexorably toward a certain fate, at least their lives from birth to death should be something better that hell on earth. Is that too much to ask from a civilized society?
The abuse of dogs and cats, as well as every that of every other animal held under the control of humans, should not be treated as misdemeanors, but as serious crimes, punishable by very long prison terms and very high fines.
Yes, some of this is being done by various individual states, and on a strictly case by case basis, but we need strong and no-nonsense federal laws to protect the innocent. Please become the Voice of the Voiceless and issue in a new era of kindness and respect for all creatures great and small.
Sincerely, MyPetRock
