The correlation between animal abuse and domestic violence, including child abuse is undeniable. When people in powerful positions refuse to pass laws that protect our animals, it effects the safety of victims of abuse, including children. Sign this petition requiring the support of Iowa bills that protect innocent animals in cases of domestic violence and child abuse and provide steeper penalties for those who abuse and neglect animals.
There should be harsh penalties for animal abusers whether they are involved in other forms of cruelty or not.
Absolutely! I pray to a god of fairness and justice, that does not exist, that I see the day when animal abusers are punished the same way as those abusing and killing humans. But since that just god does not exist I will never see that day.
Why does animal abuse always have to be tied to child abuse in order to get harsher penalties??
So tired of this tactic.
