You are so right Excal…what could be simpler….but then we are talking about the military and the government..and simple, easy, and fair solutions are way beyond them….they have too many palms to grease and lobbiests to please….heck look at the swine flu and health care messes. So you can imagine what the rigamarole for anything regarding animal welfare would be……..

As of now, The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) punishes abuse of a “public animal” under Article 134

They would only have to change one word in this so it would be:

As of now, The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) punishes abuse of all “animals” under Article 134

What could be simpler?

If they need to target practice, then they don’t have any buisness being there. They should already know how to shoot!

Yeh, how far could you trust anyone that has no heart or conscience, that they show no conpassion for the pain and suffering that they inflict on an inocent animal. There are many people in the service and the majority of them will do their duty if need be, and yet still are deacent caring humane beings and not mutants.

I have seen many videos of these so called “heroes” target practicing on innocent animals, dogs mostly, in Afghanistan. The one most recent video, it took 5 shots for the poor dog to die and he was screaming while they were shooting him, and these so called “heroes” were laughing their a**es off. Who is the animal in this instance? Most certainly not the innocent creature receiving 5 shots from a high powered rifle by our “heroes”. Until I saw these videos I had the highest esteem for our military and I also realize that there are rotten apples in every barrel, but is it too much to ask the military to do what they sent to do and leave the animals alone? These few select “men in uniform” makes the whole military look like monsters!

Great News…..let’s all write and urge this to be passed…even more importantly, it may also be the start of forcing the military to change it rules and regulations regarding service people who adopt and try to save animals while they are deployed. While I also whole heartedly support or service men and women in every branch of the service, ranking officers and militaru policies regarding this issue are less than humane. Great story, thanks Andrea….
