I'm an animal lover and it is proven that many animal abusers become people abusers

It makes me angry that there's people out there who have no feelings when they neglect/abuse their animals. Why have pets of your own if you arnt going to love and take care of them!?

Humans need to be punished for the wrongs they do!!

We adopted a pup whom we adore from you guys. Wouldn't of had it any other way. I believe in good nurture for animals. Treat them as your own family. Poor kira shouldn't have been through this! No animal deserves that. Thank you!

Animal cruelty should be punished.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-27)

#826

Animal neglect should be treated as if it was a child. Animals deserve the same love and care.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-27)

Because this should of never happened to this animal, the owner should be punished for their wrong doing.

Because Iowa is so far behind the curve in animal welfare. Just because we are an agricultural giant, doesnt mean this state should accept that animals be treated poorly with disrespect and inhumanity. Shame on us. For all of the Kira's out there, puppy mill dogs on the HSUS Horrible Hundred list, (Iowa has 9 mills on that list), this is for you. Shame on this state. We can do better. Stop allowing special interests to dictate common sense bills. Stop accepting that animal abuse is ok.

It breaks my heart to hear stories like Kiras!! There are just some people who shouldn't be pet owners!

This desperately needs to be started. Far too many animals are abused and, while the penalties are nowhere near strict enough, a registry may help quite a bit.

Because Fur Babies matter just as much as humans

I hope it will prevent people like Kira's owners from ever having another dog to torture

(Dumont, 2017-06-28)

I signed for all of the helpless animals that we have lost due to horrible owners

Animal abuse is wrong and leads to more dangerous abuse. In psychology a person who is abusive to Animal is likely abusive to people if not worse can lead to murder

(Cedar rapids, 2017-06-28)

All personal deserve love. If you can't treat them like the amazing animals they are, then don't have one. Simple as that!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-28)

I love animals and they deserve rights

(Independence, 2017-06-28)

We need to help animals who can't defend themselves from irresponsible pet owners.

(Cedar Rapids, IA, 2017-06-28)

#881

This needs to happen.

(Iowa City, 2017-06-28)

Animals need protection in our state of Iowa. Iowa is ranked 48 in animal cruelty laws. We need to change this! Dogs like Kiran deserve a chance and labeling an abuser is necessary to protect animals.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-28)

#892

There needs to be tougher laws for people who abuse animals.

(Marion, 2017-06-29)

#894

This kind of treatment needs to stop.

(Chelsea, 2017-06-29)

No animal deserves to be treated with such neglect and abuse! Animal Abuse registry is a must!!!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-29)

#897

I'm sick of seeing pictures and articles of animal cruelty constantly popping up on my newsfeed. Unless we get stricter laws, especially in Iowa, but everywhere in the United States, it will continue to happen. We need to be a voice for these animals.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-29)

#902

I'm signing because the laws against animal abuse and neglect in the state of Iowa disgusts me. Wake up!! Lets be the voice for these animals who deserve and need it.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-29)

#903

The abuse needs to stop!

(Dubuque, 2017-06-29)

#904

I love animals!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-29)

#914

I'm an animal lover and I've seen my share of animal abuse. And like you said abusers are able to go out and get another dog just like that!! That is why I'm signing these people do not deserve to have an animal if they abuse animals. What caused death to an animal by any means of abuse!

(Olin, 2017-06-30)

#920

I'm signing because there needs to be harsher punishments for animal abusers.

(Dubuque, 2017-06-30)

Pups are family.

(Palo, 2017-06-30)

#928

They need voices too!!

(Cedar rapids, 2017-06-30)

#929

These people should be charged for their crimes and no longer able to own any other animals forever

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-30)

#931

im tired of animal abuse! We need to do as much as possible to stop it.

(Nashua, 2017-06-30)

Animals deserve to be treated with love.

(Fairfax, 2017-06-30)

I feel that when taking an animal into one's home, it is the same as bringing a child in. These animals should be treated as family. They cannot fend for themselves and like a baby, they depend on humans to provide all of their needs. If someone cannot commit to this, they shouldn't have a "pet."

(Toddville, 2017-06-30)

#944

I love animals and they deserve to be treated equally if not more than humans!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-30)

#948

No animal deserves to be mistreated AT ALL!

(Hiawatha, 2017-06-30)

#950

Because anyone who abuses an animal deserves to be punished the same as if they hurt another human.

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-30)

#954

Animal abuse should not be tolerated!

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-30)

#959

Dogs should never have to suffer like Kira did..

(Cedar Rapids, 2017-06-30)

#963

Because no animal deserves this.

(Dubuque, 2017-07-01)

#966

I sign because animal abuse is one of the most overlooked atrocities of this day and age. People should be held accountable if they deliberately neglect and abuse animals.

(Charlotte NC, 2017-07-01)

#972

I think no one who mistreats animals should be able to get another

(Kingsley, 2017-07-01)

#975

I want an animal abuser registry in Iowa. It's time to start helping the innocent.

(Dubuque, 2017-07-02)

#978

This is bullshit that so many people treat animals like they're toys.... they're family!

(Anamosa, 2017-07-02)

#982

Animal abuse must end! People who abuse animals should not be allowed to own any.

(Durango, 2017-07-03)

#985

Harmony Clark should never own another aninal. Along w other animal abusere.

(Anamosa, 2017-07-03)

#990

I am signing because this is a no brainer. Why would you not have something like this.

(Mount Vernon, 2017-07-06)

#993

Animals deserve to be treated with respect and receive love, not be abused.

(Waukee, 2017-07-10)

I'm signing because no innocent creature should be allowed to be neglected or mistreated in any civilization. It's wrong and evil and should have severe consequences.
