I am an animal lover, and animal rights and protection for animal rights is so important to me. I have to say that I believe our next President must stand up for animal shelters and support legislation that would help stop the death of millions of unwanted animals. With that said, I think Barack Obama will be that President. He has already helped to pass and created legislation that effects the lives of animals. He has a history of taking action in defense of the welfare of animals.

Barack Obama pledges support for nearly every animal protection bill currently pending in congress.

He has supported measures to allow the creation of pet trusts to provide for the long term care of campanion animals; to upgrade the penalties for cruelty to animals; to require psychological counseling for people who abuse animals and well as making cruelty to animals a Class 4 felony, and voted to create a new dog fighting section in the criminal code that makes it illegal to in any way, promote or facilitate dog fighting; he voted to require that vets report suspected act of cruelty and animal fighting and to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumtion. Please know that although I know a lot more needs to be done to support animal shelters and stop the needless killing of millions of animals, Obama has done and will continue to support the rights of animals.

For more information of what Barack Obama had done for our animal friends check out the Humane Society Legislative Fund 2007 Presidential Questionnnaire that he filled out:
