NITRO LAW REVOLUTION

NITRO, SARGE, TYSON, SMOKEY, MASTERPIECE, & PENNY - VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIMES WORTHY OF ONLY MISDEAMEANOR PENALTIES COMPARABLE TO A TRAFFIC CITATION IN THE STATE OF OHIO! Ohio residents, your elected officials are not doing their jobs enacting protective legislation for your pets. Tolerance of violent crimes against animals & misdemeanor penalties only encourage & increase its continuance!

This video is just a small sample highlighting some of the violence done to innocent animals in this state and they're at an all-time high, while legislators continue dragging their feet to enact 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 service to our country. These valuable and talented K9s came from all over the world, as far as Germany for elite K9 training and were entrusted to High Caliber K9 only to be callously and criminally mistreated by 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 Nitro's Law was created as a felony provision and proactive legislative measure to increase the outdated misdemeanor-only penalties currently in place for violent animal crimes in Ohio.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 link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_107366679335953

[lovemypit]

My heart aches :(

Thank you for all you do In helping the voiceless ones. This shameful atrocity needs to end......Go NITRO'S LAW

[barbergurl]

I am in tears and very angry right now

share Nitro's videos worldwide. Ohio and other goverment officials are responsible for stopping ALL violence and they only work every 2 weeks or so. Its disgusting. If one of these officials has an animal especially a dog it should immediately be removed!!!

I would love to knock that smirk off that monsters face as she took her mug shot ! How does anyone live with themselves after beating a helpless innocent animal ?! It's disgusting and I hope that there are Laws that will be put in place for these defenseless animals and the monsters that abuse them . They should be charged with ABUSE and MURDER if that is what they did . No more slapping these idiots on the wrist !!! Charge them as if they did it to a human , animals have rights/feelings too <3

SOME SICK FUCKS IN OHIO, WHATS IN THE WATER THERE ?

[camattingly1]

This video is frightening. What is going on in OHIO is going on in other places as well. These poor animals. - Please send a note or share this video with anyone as they probably know someone in Ohio who can make a difference. - These so called men in power obviously have no empathy for God's Creatures. - NONE.

I am ashamed to admit that I live in the backward state of Ohio. It is apparent that our "legislators" have no caring nor compassion for those with no voice. The poor excuses for humans who so cruelly treat pets should be treated as felons... To those of us who reside in Ohio, please contact your state legislators. Their reelection is on the line. Perhaps, that will awaken their apparent lack of humanity.

is there an online website petition? i don't live in ohio but the more they see that more people from around the country support this the more they'll realize that they have to change

[penelopeannj]

Ohio must seek Justice for future abuse cases, wake up Ohio!!!!

Makes me physically ill. Some of us spend almost as much on healthy dog food as we do on our own groceries whether we can afford it or not. We give all we can and do whatever is within our power to curb these cruelties. Then there is the other side. Any lawmaker who cannot "get it" needs to be out of office ASAP.
