So, I really don't pay attention to the news that much, I hardly ever watch it, because I work early in the morning, I live with my girlfriend and family, and when I've got time to use my tv, I'm on the 360. I randomly went to cincinnati.com to check the weather for my girlfriend and saw this headline about some cows being found dead in a pit of water about 3 hours north. I clicked the article and it's one of most disturbing thing's I've ever seen. I won't go into too much detail about the video, but I have decided to start a petiton to make animal abuse in Ohio a felony. The guy in the video was arrested but will only get 90 days per act of violence that he committed, which is bullshit if you watch the video.
Anyways, the group is called Make Animal Abuse A Felony In Ohio

I started this group last night, so I don't have many people in it yet. My plan is to get enough votes to be able to send in to everyone I can higher up in power which I'll do at that point.
The Conklin Dairy Farm incident is the one I have started this petition over. I will be information on the facebook page and below here for everyone who's interested to keep reading.
WARNING
Below's information and video are very graphic and are so disturbing that it's caused me to fight for this, if you have a weak stomach, this video is not for you. I have posted it only for the people who are willing to see what has happened recently to show them that this is sickening and should not be put up with. The man in the video isn't much older than some of us, and he's been arrested on 12 counts, which if he is found guilty on all of them, he will only get 36 months in jail(3 years) which if you watch the video, I think 99% of people will agree he should get the chair, or some kind of life in jail.
Conklin Dairy Incident.
http://www.youtube.com/v/gYTkM1OHFQg&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0%22
Chilling undercover footage recorded during a new Mercy For Animals investigation exposes dairy farm workers sadistically abusing cows and young calves.
Captured on hidden camera, the shocking scenes of abuse reveal a culture of cruelty at Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City, Ohio. During a four-week investigation between April and May, MFA's investigator documented farm workers:
Violently punching young calves in the face,
body slamming them to the ground,
and pulling and throwing them by their ears
Routinely using pitchforks to stab cows in the face, legs and stomach
Kicking "downed" cows (those too injured to stand) in the face and neck – abuse carried out and encouraged by the farm's owner
Maliciously beating restrained cows in the face with crowbars – some attacks involving over 40 blows to the head
Twisting cows' tails until the bones snapped
Punching cows' udders
Bragging about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death
After viewing the footage, Dr. Bernard Rollin, distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, stated: "This is probably the most gratuitous, sustained, sadistic animal abuse I have ever seen. The video depicts calculated, deliberate cruelty, based not on momentary rage but on taking pleasure through causing pain to cows and calves who are defenseless." Immediately upon completion of the investigation, Mercy For Animals contacted the City Prosecutor's Office of Marysville regarding the ongoing pattern of abuse at Conklin Dairy Farms. MFA is pushing for employees of the facility to be criminally prosecuted for violating Ohio's animal cruelty laws. The deplorable conditions uncovered at Conklin Dairy Farms highlight the reality that animal agriculture is incapable of self-regulation and that meaningful federal and state laws must be implemented and strengthened to prevent egregious cruelty to farmed animals.
