Help Animals In Captivity

I created this petition because there is a lack of restrictions when it comes to animal captivity in the United States. All that is required for the vast majority of people to obtain a permit is to fill out an application and send a fee. There aren't even requirements to supply any kind of greenery or vegetation, all that is needed is food, water, and shelter. In addition, all that the animal cages require is enough room to lie down, stand up, turn around, and move around a bit. authorities have enough power to enforce state laws and yet the majority simply refuse to do so. I hope with the creation of this petition that more people will realize how serious the problem is and take action
