Max's National Petition Against Dog Abuse

We the undersigned acknowledge the critical importance of human kindness towards non-human animals. This particular petition addresses the treatment of adopted and rescued dogs, and the brutal practice of dog fighting and otherwise training dogs to violence. We believe this cruelty to dogs to be intolerable and without place in a civilized society. Therefore, we ask that our local and national lawmakers introduce and enforce laws that would protect dogs from human violence. Additionally, we propose that anyone attempting to adopt a dog have an interview with an animal control individual or shelter employee to determine the suitability of the potential adoptive owner and hopefully rule out those who seek to adopt with a view to train the dog to fight.
