In order for every human being to live in peace and security, we, all of us, must make every effort to marginalize violence, in any form, and to anyone, whether it is to that other animal we call an animal or to the animal we call a human being. Violence simply is unacceptable, and for anyone to stand to the side and encourage it or receive joy in its manifestations of pain and/or suffering or death should be held legally and morally responsible, as well.
The question always comes up as to whether online petitions are effective. To be legal and effective in creating change, of course, certain petitions need a hand written signature and verification that you are who you say you are. However, online petitions, where you can be identified through your email address, your URL, and have a name to whom the online message will be directed, and who, also, can be verified, do bring demonstrated concern over an issue and enlightenment to its existence. It does not have any legal importance, but do influence others that the issue is of public concern. So online petitioning does have some significance and importance. Email chain letter petitions, however, do not. This is not an email chain letter petition.
Moreover, change does not usually happen with a single action. It takes action on many fronts: print and visual media; blogging; talking it over with ones family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances; emails, letters and petitioning with pen and paper; online petitioning; and sometimes, through demonstration.
