Letter to Senator

The Honorable Scott Brown
317 Russell Senate Office Building

United States Senate 

Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator,

            In the past year you have not shown any interest on helping with the Animal Cruelty issue. The numbers of animal abusers continue to grow right under your nose, and the issue is not being addressed. People do not fully understand that animals also have rights, and I think that is your job of informing us, the people, of this issue.

            In 1997, people have studied that about 40%of animal abusers have committed acts of violence against people, and 46% were found guilty of sexual homicide. In one year about 6-8 million cats and dogs are put into a shelter home, but 3-4 million are euthanized. Another fact is that more than two million cats and dogs are killed per year for fur.

            Now with all those supporting numbers, how is that not an important issue to address? I would blame the people in our society for all the cruelty, because another study shows that the cruelty to animals has a link to interpersonal violence.  However, for the people who do not have “problems”, how is it so easy for them to hurt an innocent animal? Why is it okay for people to post videos, pictures, and even blogs about abusing, killing, or dog fighting? That should have some sort of action taken upon those who do that. There are probably thousands or even millions of people getting away with harming/killings these animals, and now is a good time to stop and stand up for animals.

I thank you for your time on reading this letter,

Sincerely,

Kayla Rosa

Survey Questions

1)Do you think that dogs and cats should have rights?
a)If not, then why?
2)Have you seen an animal be abused, or know anyone that has abused an animal?
3)Should animal abusers who are charged or who have spent time in jail, be able to own animals?

Cheyenne Cherry was charged with animal cruelty, for burning a kitten alive, and could face up to TEN years in prison if convicted. She has had other intenses such as robbing someone for an ipod at gun point, stealing a Yorkie Terriror and returning it for a $500 reward.

1)Should she serve more time or serve less time in jail if she is convicted?
2)Do you think Cheyenne should be able to own an animal after serving time?
a)She is able to own and have animals after three years, is that enough time?
3)Cheyenne served one year in jail, should she have served more time, or not?

These are some pictures i used to show to people who did the survery:

 

Being the Change project

I thought about my creative project, and i think i have a good idea. i was thinking of printing out several pictures of animal cruelty and showing them to people walking on the streets. i would like to video tape them and see what they have to say about the picture, what they think about animal cruelty, if animals should have rights, if animal abusers should be able to own animals after convicted of animal cruelty ect..

Senator letter, and progression

so i have been working on my senator letter. i have finished my letter but am looking for someone to proof read or tell me what i can do to make the letter better.

i'm still trying to find a place i could volunteer. I have looked up the MSPCA in Boston but they only take volunteers for a six month period. I'm looking at going to this dog shelter located in malden to volunteer, to do some hours.

I am also thinking about for my Creative Project, about going to the MSPCA and try to video tape the vets or doctors, telling on some horrible cases and how they go about the case, and if they have any solved cases or unsolved.

17 year old girl burns kitten in oven .

           Just starting off to say, i [may be] writing Senator Patricia Jehlen; a letter on how she is right about how domestic violence can turn into being cruel to animals.

           The story i want to focus on is about this 17 year old girl; Cheyenne Cherry and her friends, decided to play a "practical joke" on her ex-roommate. They decided to break into her ex-roommate's place take her kitten turn the heat on the oven on and put the cat inside the oven, and then left. Police asked Cheyenne why she did it and she had said: "Because i hate cats." 

As you can already imagine what happened to the cat; i will say that the police could not even determine the sex of the little kitten name, Tiger Lilly, and that it did burn to death.
            I want people to see how serious animal cruelty is getting because not alot of people are aware that things like this do happen. How can a 17 YEAR OLD girl do this to an animal!? Why would she even think of doing something like that to anything so helpless and not dangerous..  I think that people who have records of any kind of violence should not be allowed to have a pet. That is because, studies show that animal cruelty does begin with domestic violence. In my opinion i think that everyone should do something about raising awareness about animal cruelty, or else things like this will continue to happen.
