This should not be allowed to happen in our society. Animals have a right to decent happy productive lives!

Animals are family, too.

Abuse is abuse. Animal or human.

I signed because I am a dog owner! And I have fallowed this since the neighbor posted asking for help. No animal should ever have to live like that!!

Animals are living, breathing, loving beings and they deserve to be taken care of.

(Marion, 2017-06-22)

People who have no emphathy for animals do not deserve their companionship.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-22)

Enough is enough of any kind of abuse

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#46

Animal abusers are not being held accountable for their actions and many poor animals are suffering because of it!

(Anamosa, 2017-06-23)

I think this would be a very good thing to have.

I'm signing because one of my dogs was severely abused before I rescued her. She has epilepsy due to severe head trauma equivalent to that of being hit by a car, even though she was never hit by a car. The "man" that had her should have been charged! But he never was. These babies need justice.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#55

I believe we definitely need this!!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#56

People need to stand up for the animals. There are to many abused animals. It needs to stop

(Belle Plaine, 2017-06-23)

#58

No animal should be treated this way

(Marion, 2017-06-23)

#60

This has to stop.....there has to be severe penalties for people who do this.

(Michigan City, 2017-06-23)

#61

There have been to many of these cases going without punishment ir accountability of the owners/abusers.

(Anamosa, 2017-06-23)

#62

I knew this dog personally

(Delaware, 2017-06-23)

#63

All animals deserve a loving and caring home. No one should be allowed to have a pet unless they are willing to do everything needed for a happy, loving life for the pet. Pets are a part of a family. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

(Asbury, 2017-06-23)

#64

The animals deserve a voice.

(Monticello, 2017-06-23)

#66

I don't like seeing this type of neglect, treatment being done to animals. It breaks my heart knowing this happens and something needs done to prevent it from happening!

(Anamosa, 2017-06-23)

#67

Kira used to live by me and I loved this dog. I am pissed that this happened after they moved out of my town. Kira and all the rest of the poor animals deserve justice. ❤

(Delaware, 2017-06-23)

#69

I have two dogs, one was a rescue and the best dog ever! No one person/animal should ever be made to suffer.

(Anamosa, 2017-06-23)

#71

Iowa is far behind in animal cruelty laws, this is completely unacceptable.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#72

Our pets are family and should be treated as such. If you cant afford one, then don't have one.

(Sully, 2017-06-23)

#73

Animals should not be abused or neglected. They trust us to take care of them and make the best decisions for them. Animal abuse and neglect should be a highly punishable crime, and a registry for these people should be adopted.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#76

It disgust me to see helpless animals being treated like this. They deserve our love and undivided attention. I am so heart broken over this cruel act.

(Anamosa, 2017-06-23)

#79

I think that this is a great idea

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-23)

#81

Animals don't have a voice but they should have a say!

(Swisher, 2017-06-23)

#84

I'm signing because animals are living beings, & deserve a voice.

(Hiawatha, 2017-06-23)

#88

This should never happen again...

(Oelwein, 2017-06-23)

Pets are family. They are not disposable. They do not just go away if you don't pay attention to them. They need a voice just like we all do. They are dependent upon us to give them a good life and those who do these things to animals need to be punished.

(Earlville, IA, 2017-06-23)

#94

No animal should go through this!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

#100

This should never happen again. We have an obligation to protect animals as they can't protect themselves.

(Anamosa, 2017-06-24)

#107

I'm signing because as someone who was rescued horses, I know how awful it is to know that someone who nearly destroyed a beautiful creature, can go out and buy another one to mistreat. And there's nothing anyone will do.

(Anamosa, IA, 2017-06-24)

#108

Im signing because no animal should go to a home that will hurt them or neglect them!! Animal abuse is just as bad as child abuse!! So if we have a registry for that why not this!? No animals should die due to someone not taking proper care of them.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

#110

I rescue horses and hate to see these people get more animals.

(Anamosa,Ia, 2017-06-24)

Am a dog lover and a cat lover

(Marion, 2017-06-24)

#117

Im signing because sick people who do that horrible stuff to animals shouldn't have the right to have any animal its disgusting

(Marion, 2017-06-24)

#118

There are too many repeat animal abuse/neglect offenders who fly under the radar. They need to be monitored to protect the animals of this state.

(Marion, 2017-06-24)

#120

I believe people should be punished for being cruel to animals. I feel they should be punished if they neglect animals.

(Alburnett, 2017-06-24)

#122

BC animals deserve a voice against abuse!!!

(Aurora, 2017-06-24)

#124

I believe we need stricter laws when it comes to animals.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

#125

No animal deserves this.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

#132

This potential bill could save many innocent lives of helpless animals from suffering at the evil hand of negligence caused by careless, indispicible human beings.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

Someone has to be there voice.

She needs justice served for her death!

(Waterloo, 2017-06-24)

Animals lives matter. They deserve not to be abused and we should do all we can to protect them from abuse. This bill would give all a chance to check before selling, giving it allowing any animal abuser to get a chance to do it again, hopefully.

(Mediapolis, 2017-06-24)

#144

This should never happen to any animal period!

(Manchester, 2017-06-24)

#145

I love animals. No animal should be treated badly. They have feelings just like we do. Come on Iowa let's have justice for these poor animals. If you have an animal this should matter to you!!! How can we let this keep happening?

(Dubuque, 2017-06-24)

I'm hoping Nebraska will follow Iowa's and other states' example for preventing animal abuse and cruelty.

(Omaha, NE, 2017-06-24)

Animals deserve justice too!

In honor of our boxer, Laila, who brings so much unconditional love and joy to our family! Their fate is in the hands of humans and we have an obligation to make sure that we can do anything we can to protect them.

(Marion, 2017-06-24)

#182

I'm signing because no animal deserves to be treated the way Kira was.

(Iowa city, 2017-06-24)

#189

I am a animal lover. No animals should be treated like this. They should be loved. Just like a human.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-24)

#191

Dogs deserve rights just like humans. They are innocent and cannot speak up like humans so we need to SPEAK FOR THEM. Kira's story breaks my heart. SPEAK UP FOR KIRA.

(Peosta, 2017-06-24)

#199

We need to do everything we can to keep animals out of the hands of neglectful abusers

(Inverness, 2017-06-24)

#200

I'm signing this for all the animals out there who need a voice to speak up for them before its too late
