Fighting for Animals, Fighting for Buddy's Law
In my hometown this past July, a 16 week old black lab puppy was tortured and left for dead in a diaper box at a gas station. A man stopped to put air in his tire and saw the box and heard a whimper. He opened the box and to his horror found the puppy with PVC glue in his eyes, nose, ears and throat. His back legs had multiple fractures. The man took the puppy to the vet were he had to be euthanized due to his injuries . I can't fathom how someone could do this to a sweet, loving and innocent puppy. I cry when I think of what this puppy went through. He was probably wondering what he did wrong and why wont this evil person stop. Animals only want to be loved and they give so much love in return. The puppy in this story is named Buddy and in Mississippi we are trying to get a law passed to make it a felony for animal cruelty. I will fight forever if I have to. Buddy will always be in my heart and I will continue to help support my cause forever.

               
This is Buddy. Please help pass Buddy's law in Mississippi.

Wild Fact About Me
My Philosophy An eye for an eye. If you're cruel enough to hurt an animal, what would you do to a human? We need tougher laws to put these evil people away and hopefully they will get what they deserve in prison. I have NO sympathy for these insane hurtful people.
What Gives Me Hope People who understand my love for animals, and who are trying to help stop animal cruelty.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by PASS TOUGHER LAWS TO PROTECT OUR ANIMALS!!! To ban abusers from ever owning another animal.
What/who changed my life and why The dog who was tortured in my hometown. His name was Buddy. The pain and suffering that he went through breaks my heart and the sad thing is, there will be a million more cases like this and worse. Mississippi needs tougher laws and we should not have to beg for that to happen. But as long as I live, I will do what I can to help stop animal cruelty.
