CHANGE THE WAY AMERICAS LAWS LOOK UPON ANIMALS. ENFORCE SEVERE PENALTIES, FINES, AND IMPRISONMENT FOR ANIMAL ABUSE

The United States Congress.
As far as the law is concerned, the situation for animals in this country is dire. Despite the fact that they are living, feeling beings, animals in the U.S. are still considered merely “property” by law—in most cases no different than a table or a chair. When laws protecting animals do exist, they are often insufficient or full of loopholes.
A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO ENFORCE THE "ANIMAL BILL OF RIGHTS."
I. The right of animals to be free from exploitation, cruelty, neglect, and abuse.
II. The right of laboratory animals not to be used in cruel or unnecessary experiments.
III. The right of companion animals to a healthy diet, protective shelter and adequate medical care.
IV. The right of wildlife to a natural habitat, ecologically sufficient to a normal existence and self-sustaining population.
V. The right of farmed animals to an environment that satisfies their basic physical and psychological needs.
VI. The right of animals to have their interest represented in court and safeguarded by the law of the land.
