As citizens of the United States, we are urging you to ban animal-killing contests nationwide. These contests have no relation to hunting and involve no fair chase. Most often, these contests are promoted as fund raisers and "bonding" opportunities.

The people who conduct these contests are sick, twisted empty souls who should be put in the animals place. Let them rip each other to pieces. Less human filth on this already polluted planet.

Sad that we "HUMANS" have no respect for non-humans life now I see why humans are so good at killing just give it a NICE name likes contest fund raiser war an let the killing begin. The things we do to non-human life would put a human in prison for life or in some country's you would get "SHOT" I feel sad an broken hearted knowing I am a member of the human animal (YES ANIMAL WE ARE ANIMALS JUST LIKE A WOLF AN CAT) the only living thing on earth that has no role in Nature but has so much power over life an dearth we humans (an for the humans that have respect for all life humans an non-human I am sorry for profiling) do not have respect for ourself if we did there would not be so much killing or homeless animals an humans on the streets so sad I know I will be dead an gone before we humans get our act together an start respecting all life on earth until then I will keep caring an giving a furever home to all forgotten abandon cats an kittens the some how find there way to my door.=^..^= I have an idea scents we humans love killing so much why not start a running man game show like the movie it would make a lot of money an humans would pay to see it on TV or go to see it live just an idea what yea think. ??

Take in a Moggy (stray) kitty today save life an make a forever friend

Gladly signed. We need a lot more signatures on this petition. Killing animals for contests or entertainment has got to stop. This is no different than dog fighting and all participating need to be punished. The message that is being sent out to the children is horrible, they will grow up thinking it's okay to hurt, abuse or kill animals. IT ISN'T!! These magnificent creatures are not disposable, their lives matter. It isn't all about humans, we need to protect the animals we SHARE this earth with. Please don't allow these slaughter to continue.

Noted, Signed & Shared! Please share this petition with your friends and family. We only have 928 signatures and we need 99,000! Animal killing contests have no place in our world! They should be banned as they are immoral and teach children that animals' lives have no value and that it is all right to be cruel! Albert Schweitzer one of the greatest doctors and humanitarians, used to say that a child who commits just one act of cruelty to an animal can permanently change his brain chemistry in a bad way! If we care at all about our Society and the kind of world we want to have, these horrible animal killing contest where children first learn to be mean, cruel, and take an animal's life and call it a killing contest needs to stop now! These contests are cultivating criminal and dangerous minds!
