Adam's Amendment--Fighting animal abuse
Back a few month's ago, someone had posted about "Adam" a small black kitten who had been in a cage and two teenaged girls set him on fire. Adam managed to survive the horrible deed, and now there is an amendment to make legal punishment higher in the state of California.

Through donations worldwide, the Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County group were able to help pay for Adam's massive veterinary bills and still provide additional funds to ferals or homeless cats who needed help.

For more on the group, you can visit http://www.forgottenfelines.com

To sign the petition to increase animal abuse from a misdemeanor to a felony, and to raise the max. sentence of 3 years to 6, please sign the petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/adamsamendment

To see additional information on the petition and on Adam, you can check this out: http://www.adamsamendment.com/id10.html

If people don't mind, I'd like to get this kicked or rec'd so that it remains high on the postings, just so more people can sign the petition and learn more about the case. A hearty thanks to those who can help out in that respect. :)

15. recommended and signed
as a "cat person," I like cats better than people. If I caught somebody torturing a cat, I would become violent.
