Comments

So bad pet owners can't keep getting animals.

This should never be allowed to happen. Iowa needs that registry so it can not happen again.

Animal Abusers are horrendous

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#409

This is a crime and should be treated as such.

For Kira and all the other animal abused or neglected!

For Kira and other neglected and abused animals.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

No animal should EVER have to be treated this way. People don't stop at animals.. They move on to people!!

This is just a total inhumaine person who obviously doesnt care about others. This is the most dispicable type of crime!! Animal abusers should never be allowed to have another animal EVER

People who can only properly care for animals shall be allowed to own them. If they neglect an animal they should be punished by law.

Animal abuse is murder!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#431

No animal should ever feel unloved or pain. If you can do harmful things to one you will do it to them all and that should not be allowed. They are defenseless and we are to protect and care for them not hurt, starve, neglect, or throw them away!!

No animal should ever feel unloved.

I'm signing because the abuse and neglect of an animal is wrong and it is sick. If the person is not held accountable it doesn't stop them or anyone else from harming a defenseless animal. Someone has to speak up for them.

(Keystone, 2017-06-25)

#436

Because this must stop and the people who harm these poor animals need to be charged severely for their actions!!

(Vinton, 2017-06-25)

.Animal abuse needs to be punishable by law. If you can't take care of it take it to an Animal shelter

I live 5 miles from her and it really impacted me. This should NEVER have happened to a defenseless animal.

(Springville, 2017-06-25)

#446

I'm signing because I've had a Great Dane that I lost to bone cancer and it's heartbreaking enough without any additional suffering like malnutrition. Rest easy, sweet babe.

Animals should be treated the same way you would treat your child. Lots of TLC. If a owner isn't treating there animal in that matter and it gets as bad as Kira for example they should not be able to own another animal. Because of their improper care Kira got all those illnesses and had to be more it down. Very sad, I agree with this article and hope this helps a bill being passed.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

These evil people need to be brought to justice.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#458

I'm stinging because I care about anatomists and the abuse needs to stop.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#459

Abuse to animals needs to be stopped and the people that do it to them needs to be punished!!!

(Fairfax, 2017-06-25)

#462

This is just a sad and horrible thing to happen to any animal. Heartbreaking..

(North Liberty, 2017-06-25)

#466

I have a huge heart for all types of animals

Poor Kira. Her owner needs to be held accountable for what she KNOWLINGLY did to Kira.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-25)

#475

I'm signing this petition because I think it is high time to help prevent and end the abuse of animals. Doing this can help give a voice to animals that can not speak for themselves. People who prove they are unfit to care for an animal should never be able to adopt, buy, or receive an animal, let alone be able to do it continuously under any circumstances. It is time to expose and stop this horrendous abuse.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

All animals deserve a chance.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-25)

#486

Because I have a pit bull and they are one of the most used for dog fighting and I don't wanna see any more dogs hurt or neglected

(Cedar rapids, 2017-06-25)

#488

Animals have feelings too. Kira should have been with someone to love her.

(Springville, 2017-06-25)

#491

No animal should be abused

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#506

Animals deserve the best!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#509

this is needed

(clinton, 2017-06-25)

#510

I'm signing necause you can't treat humans this way. Why are pets different? In so many ways they need us as children do.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#511

I'm signing this petition because animals deserve love and to be treated like family. Those who harm or neglect their pets, shouldn't be allowed to have pets.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#517

Pets are family and have feelings! We need to protect them just like we do our children.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#518

I'm signing because it's wrong for us to not already have something like this in place to protect animals from abuse.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#521

I have spent an entire career teaching animal car and animal welfare. Clearly, my efforts have not been sufficient.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#522

I have animals and I rescue animals

(Hiawatja, 2017-06-25)

#528

I'm really upset that people who abuse animals get to keep purchasing new animals . This has to stop!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#531

I'm signing to give a voice to the animals that are victims of abuse.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-25)

#532

you shouldnt treat any breathing living thing this way.

(Ely, 2017-06-25)

#536

I have quite a few dogs, and they are like my family,

(Anamosa, 2017-06-25)

#541

No animal deserves to be treated this way. People like this should not be able to own an animal ever again.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#542

This should be punishable!

(Marion, 2017-06-25)

#543

Animal Abuse and neglect needs to stop. I was SO moved by Kira's story - I DO hope her owners are charged, but this bill will hopefully prevent people like this from adopting future animals.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-25)

#544

I'm signing because no animal should ever have to go through what this poor girl went through

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#545

I am a very compassionate veterinary technician. These people shouldn't be allowed to have pets ever again.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#550

I want to help animals who cant help themseleves

(Cedar rapids, 2017-06-25)

#555

We need stricter laws and stiffer penalties in iowa. Not a slap on the wrist. Without a registry will do very little. But anything is better than what we have

(Tipton, 2017-06-25)

#558

No animal should get treated bad

(Chandler, 2017-06-25)

#561

There is no reason for this crulitly to happen. The people that do this now their punishment to be the same as what they cause their poor animal.

(Shellsburg, 2017-06-25)

#566

I'm against animal cruelty and abusers need to be punished. Iowa needs harsher penalties for animal abusers.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#569

I'm tired of the abuse and neglect they suffer while the real monsters get a slap on the wrist

(DeWitt, 2017-06-25)

#573

I believe animal abusers should be registered

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-25)

#577

Not everyone is entitled to owning an animal.

(Springville, 2017-06-25)

#585

This is way overdue!

(Marion, 2017-06-25)

#593

There has to be a consequence and prevention for abuse. Animals are innocent and helpless to protect themselves, just like children.
