We, the undersigned, call on Anнbal S. Acevedo Vilб, Governor of Puerto Rico, to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals.

We ask that:
- Low cost veterinary care be provided.
- Free spay and neuter clinics be sponsored.
- Backyard breeders and pet shops be required to perform to specific standards.
- Institute harsher laws for animal cruelty and ensure they are enforced.
- Hire animal control officers and open animal shelters funded by the government.

The mass killings of innocent animals will not fix the situation. Changes in people's behavior and the laws will fix it.
