Although I understand these policies are people focused, there is a subject that is of real concern for many people in this country. It is the subject of overpopulation of dogs and cats. The many rescue organizations are stretched very thin and their resources to help are lacking. Why can’t we as a nation completely reimagine a country where animals (emphasis on cats and dogs) where we direct resources to eliminate the causes of overpopulation and be able to manage the care and rescue of America’s dogs and cats in need. Millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year due to overpopulation in shelters. It is heartbreaking the current situation.
Laws should be created to harsher sentences for animal cruelty cases. Especially for using cats and dogs to train dogs used in dog fighting. Resources and a department needs to be created to enforce and weed out these people doing these heinous acts.
This is an issue that would unite all Americans. An issue of great concern for both Left and Right. Americans have a huge heart for their dogs and cats (and other pets). And our hearts are breaking daily with images and situations all over the internet and social media.
It’s time to tackle a little discussed subject.
It’s time to do our best to solve this heartbreaking and very sad issue in order to bring about a different world and how we choose to erase the suffering of the overpopulation and lack of resources to solve this issue.
People who breed animals for profit should have to be registered and pay a breeding fee every year. Maybe it would prevent so many people from backyard breeding.
