Animal Welfare Proposals (Safety of animals and people). This issue has become important because of the recent police executions of dogs and sexual attacks on animals by deviant people and the Vick dogfighting cases. My proposals are these: 1. That all people convicted of violent crimes against animals are not allowed to own any animal. 2. That there will be a criminal background check and a home visit to address containment issues and possible abusive families after a report of domestic violence. That any costs associated with this license will be donated to the local humane societies to help pay for homeless animals' care. 3. That animal cruelty will now be a felony. Any people caught "dogfighting" or practicing deviant sexual behavior upon an animal will be incarcerated for a period of not less than (5)five years with a fine of up to $10,000.00. Any spectators at such events will be fined $1500.00 dollars. I do not support in any fashion, the "Shambala" proposal. I also propose a $1000 dollar per year "PET DEDUCTION" from a person's Federal Income Taxes. Additionally, when police shoot dogs without cause they should be prosecuted and face fines of fifty thousand dollars which cannot be discharged through bankruptcy proceedings(In Remembrance of Bear Bear the Husky from Annapolis, Md).
