Animal welfare: permanent difference in fight against cruelty towards animals?

ANIMAL WELFARE: PERMANENT DIFFERENCE IN FIGHT AGAINST CRUELTY TOWARDS ANIMALS I was wondering how a suggestion I have can be made and land on the hands of someone that will take action and how legislation is obtained on something that I think could make a permanent difference in protecting animals from being tortured. I propose that a national database of people guilty of infractions against animals be created (such as the one for sex offenders) and anyone that goes into a pet shop in order to buy any pet, the registry has to be checked. If anyone that is cruel to animals moved in to my area I want to know.It has to be reported to the neighbors the kind of people are moving in.

With this in place, eventually we all will know if someone has a history of torturing animals and we all know, they are potentially serial killers. It will help humanity in general! We will not be able to catch the irresponsible or the ones that don’t care enough but we for sure would be able to detect the lowest class of cruel citizens among us.

Take Your Idea Forward and Be Tenacious! ** **I'd first check with all present cruelty against animal organizations and ask if any such action is in the beginning stages. If so, sign on...if not... Ask them to back you when the time comes.

Ask if they have a pro-bono lawyer that helps them and if you can take this idea to him. It will take a lot of people making noise. It will take a lot of organizations backing it.

And it will take money.... ....form a 'think tank' of like-minded folks who could help you brainstorm ideas to get this idea to the media, ads, posters, pledges, an interactive web-site, maybe even a march to...I don't know Washington DC... If you are serious, believe in it, envision it, it can be done. I would suggest you target small at first then get bigger as your organization gains momentum. For example, first target pet-stores with bad records... Oh one more thing, no matter what your organization is or becomes...{I can see your organization being made up of other animal-rights organizations--like a super organization) 1.

Personally sign all the checks--so everyone is accountable 2. Never let it become top heavy--meaning that 80 cents of every dollar goes to keep the administrative costs afloat. Go for it!

I would start with local Officials... I love your idea, animals are just as helpless kids and like kids trust most everyone not knowing there is danger! I suggest that you compile all the news articles covering the cruelty, put everything in a neat binder without proof and numbers they will more and likely to your disappoint take no action! Then start visiting all the local Animal shelters, abuse shelters, this is very important in that you need power backing your plan.

While your at contact local veterinary clinics and practices the backing of Animal Doctors wouldn't hurt! Contact all those that are listed above but long distance thru E-mail, mail what ever it takes to get their attention and bring them on board! With a compiled list of reported abuse, and court cases involving abuse and list of the Important Individuals backing you on this approach the city mayor.

Start small and work your way up the next stop will be the Governors Office, some where between the mayor and Governor try and get yourself and your cause in the papers and news they will have to at least give you time! It is very Important that if it does not go well, don't give up keep trying. This will require lots of patients on your behalf!

It would also help if you can get a lawyer to work pro bono, one that could help you draft a reasonable bill to submit to the state Senator and the State house over your concern and cause! Good luck!

Most animal cruelty is a result of irresponsible uneducated or uncaring owners who either really didn't know what they were getting in to when they decided to become a pet owner or who intentionally are abusive towards their animals because they want to encourage them to be vicious. I seriously doubt that making a database for such Jack@$$es will do anything to protect the pets in your neighborhood nor would it keep them from becoming a pet owner again since many pets don't come from the pet shop. There is a very real problem with animals being abducted for re-sale for various reasons (including medical research test subjects), but a better way to protect them is by either tattooing your pet or having an electronic tag implanted so that your lost or abducted pet can be easily identified and returned.

2 Yes YoBob you are naive. It's incredible the suffering inflicted on animals due to hate, lack of empathy and just purely social and psychological disorders. On a daily basis my peace of mind is rattled by the news of cruelty towards animals.

The culprits are aprehended, fined and set lose only to repeat what they have been doing. It is an cycle that never ends. Few years old news but still daily on my mind: A 56 years old guy just stopping at a pet shop to get some hamsters and being caught in his car, in the store parking lot, torturing them with pliers.

A slap in the wrist, next week this poor excuse for a human being probably was doing the same again. A poor parakeet kept in a dark garage without water or food. We saved this one.

Animals kept outside in -10 degree weather without shelter. How can we allow it? It was hard to believe that parents could inflict torture on their own kids, right?

They do. We have to step up and protect the ones that cannot protect themselves. My daughter's pet has an implanted chip.

If someone takes her we would never find her. It works only if the police is actively looking for the owner. In our area the ASPCA has now a high fee for someone adoptind a pet because some teenagers adopted puppies and kittens and were feeding them to a snake.

When will it end unless repercussions are in place? .

3 Violet, if I were you I would start with my Congressman. And by the way, this would like a FANTASTIC idea.

Do you think its okay to wear them or do you think its animal cruelty?" "Animal Cruelty In The Name of Art....

My son announced to me we might be getting a puppy...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
