CATTS,INC NEWS THERE IS AN FUNDAMENTAL FLAW IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM....THAT ANIMALS ARE CLASSIFIED AS "PROPERTY" AND HAVE NO INDEPENDENT OR SELF-DERIVED INTEREST OR VALUE. One of my goals before I pass on is to see passing of Laws that will elevate our Pets to a somewhat higher status than a TV set. The simple fact is that in most States a Pet is considered "property" only...no rights to be treated better than a Garbage Disposal unit.Recent years have seen increases in punishments for Animal Abuse and this I applaud....however I think Animals still need additional Laws offering more protection from abuse,abandonment,neglect,etc. You can go to jail for spitting on a sidewalk,having a broken taillight lens and just for threatening someone...but you can torture an Animal,cause untold suffering,and perhaps death to your own Pet,abandon them without food and water or shelter and receive perhaps a slap on the wrist. Whats wrong with this picture? which should receive the punishment? the one who spit on the sidewalk or the one that tortured and killed a living creature??? ANIMALS ARE ENTITLED TO LEGAL PROTECTION! THINK ABOUT IT! PLEASE... And see what you can do about it in your State
