NITRO LAW REVOLUTION~Felony for Animal Abuse!

Ohio residents your elected officials are not doing their jobs enacting
protective legislation for your pets & tolerance of violent crimes
against animals & the misdemeanor penalties only encourage &
increase its continuance.

This video doesn’t even come close to
highlighting the atrocious crimes of violence done to innocent animals
in this state and they’re at an all-time high meanwhile legislators are
dragging their feet enacting any sort of protective legislation. Violent
crimes with lenient misdemeanor penalties, breed specific legislation,
puppy mills, dog auctions, tax-funded, unregulated & inhumane animal
sheltering utilizing unsafe and cruel euthanasia of carbon monoxide
(gassing) and intracardiac injection (heart sticking) as population
control of homeless animals ranks Ohio as one of the worst in the United
States of America.

NITRO’S LAW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC63DAEgR0M
is the legacy and testament in honor of a family’s Rottweiler, Nitro,
who was 1 of 8 dogs that starved to death in a tragic crime at a K9
training facility in Youngstown, Ohio. 19 dogs were starved with the
majority of them being K9s in training for law enforcement and service
K9s. These valuable and talented K9s came from all over the world, 1 as
far as Germany for elite K9 training and were entrusted to High Caliber
K9 only to be so callously and criminally mistreated of starvation.
Nitro’s Law was created as a felony provision and proactive legislative
measure to increase the outdated misdemeanor-only penalties currently in
place for violent animal crimes in Ohio.

In February 2009
‘Nitro’s Law’ passed Ohio’s House of Representatives and was assigned to
the Ohio Senate’s Criminal Justice Committee where it sat for 1 year
grossly ignored by Chairman Tim Grendell and on December 31, 2010
Nitro’s Law legislative window of opportunity ran out. On February 22,
2011 NITRO’S LAW was reintroduced by the original Representatives
Gerberry & Hagan into Ohio’s House of Representatives and we are now
on round 2.

2010 closed as being the worst in Ohio’s
legislative history in which only 52 bills as opposed to the norm of 247
were enacted into law demonstrating the incredible abuse of tax dollars
and incompetency at Ohio’s governing level. It’s a dire message of
disregard and total apathy by any state that fails to enact protective
legislation for any violent crime, regardless whether its animals or
humans they’re all connected and interwoven and all warrant them being
FELONY crimes of violence.

Tragically, 8 dogs gave their lives
in the birth of a new law for a better Ohio, join us in continuing their
fight so that their lives were not in vain; NITRO’S LAW 2011 group
