Fine then, if you don't care about Tiger King getting sickened by covid or rotting away in jail, then please don't bother petitioning him to be freed from prison.

4 quick points...

I don't subscribe to a slippery slope argument around prisons and covid to the point I'd release felons.
I am in favour of prison reform.
Prison reform shouldn't be conflated with throwing open the gates and releasing people found guilty of hiring assassins.
I won't be signing the petition.

I'm signing one about animal abusers.

Joe kept tigers in cages.
The People keep Joe in a cage.

That would be fair except that the tigers didn't do anything wrong.

Made and passed by who?
Mitch Daniels, as governor of Indiana, decided a few things for himself (privatizing the toll road, enacting DST, privatizing welfare) without allowing the people or state officials a vote. He just did it.

Tigers are caged, because they are wild dangerous animals who could otherwise pounce on somebody in a second; whereas, Joe walks slowly with a cane prohibiting him from pouncing on any prospective prey. For compassion and health reasons, please petition to fee Joe.

I didn't ask for your petition, and it stupefies and flabbergasts me to think that you'd think I'd have any interest in your petition. I hate animal abusers. I thought it should be apparent I hope he rots, like the tigers he condemned.
P.s. My favorite song is titled "Kill a Human, Save a Dog." Its about being brutally violent to animal abusers, and killing them in gruesome ways.
P.s.s. I have more love for animals than people.

Oh, gee. Large, wild, dangerous animals who could shed us without trying. They are clearly not pets, the obviously do not belong in a cage, and yet this dumb **** collector keeps them locked up in a cage, far removed their natural habitat.

Humans are highly evolved great apes, many of whom can write, sing, dance, laugh, control fire, and help build tall skyscrapers. Let's see Fido do any of these remarkable feats.

F.Y.I. tigers are nearly extinct in the wild. There are more tigers living in captivity than in the wild.

Let's see Fido bully people, commit genocide, commit violence through neglect and greed, fight over stupid ****, and make people feel unwanted. Lets see Fido dominate others on his whims and wants alone. Lets see Fido kill in cold blood.

That is barrel-scraping.

Humans are destroying the biosphere. Let's see Fido do that.
