Ken Wahl, the award-winning actor, is doing his part to stand before everyone and express how he feels about little “Tiny Tim”, the poor innocent kitten that was glued to a highway in Minnesota, ran over and eventually died due to his injuries. Ken Wahl wanted to show the public that this type of act needs to stop. This type of thing is a lot more common that people hear about. Killing innocent cats or kittens is something that should not be tolerated or taken lightly. He does not want to hear “it is too depressing, I can’t hear about it”. It is here and he is talking about it. People know he has already given the Second Chance Rescue that treated Tiny Tim $2,000 towards the reward money they had already been receiving, but it was his Golden Globe Award that made the news in January. This award means a lot to Ken Wahl, but it means more to find Tiny Tim’s killer.

After the events unfolded and Tiny Tim started hitting the tabloids, papers and news spots, Ken Wahl decided to take this one step further. Ken, Shane (his wife), and Sia (Shane’s sister) decided to come up with a law for people that if convicted of animal cruelty will be profiled as a violent criminal. Law enforcement has seen that people that get convicted of animal cruelty usually always go to some kind of cruelty to people as sex offenders and even murderers. One thing Ken was amazed by is the lack of states that actually have animal cruelty as a felony. This is where he is asking for all the “compassionate people out there to come together and start petitions and send letters to their local representatives to make local and federal laws to make this a felony”. This is where the public animal lovers need to come together for the cats and dogs that are getting tortured and their offenders not getting punished.

More people are looking at their pets as a member of the family and to some even as a child. These pets become such a part of the family that it is often gone misunderstood when there is an animal cruelty case involving someone’s beloved pet. Since pets are considered property, pet owners can only sue for what the pet is worth. If that pet came from the pound or a stray then it may only be worth the adoption fee or even nothing. Pet owners need to stand up and come together to fight for your beloved pet. Tell your politicians that we need stricter laws on animal cruelty. Just think if it was your cat that got out, someone bad picked her up, took her out to a back road and glued her down to the road thinking it was funny. What would you do? How would you handle that? Stand up and take charge of the laws. We the people voted in the politicians and ken feels “through a movement of compassionate people we can make changes that help protect animals also in turn help stop criminals from doing violent crimes towards people”.

Ken is going to work with trying to get a “Tiny Tim” bill introduced that will make it mandatory to categorize these animal predators as violent offender for profiling. He said, “This will show that everything counts. As Ghandi once said “bad does not stay in one area, it leaks into other areas””. He feels “we are a world of many nations and species, we all have to learn to live together and live beyond our own race, religion and species to respect those that are different than us”. Ken wants people to know he is a “typical” guy but also has a conscious for the one’s that do not have a voice and cannot defend themselves. That is why he decided to work with Amy Nelson, Willie Nelson’s daughter, with her calendar idea “GOT PUSSY”. The calendar has famous men holding cats to show that men can love cats. The calendar is also promoting the Stray Cat Alliance. Ken’s message is simple, “Tiny Tim and others like him are not to be just ignored, they were living breathing and bleeding animals that just wanted someone to love them and keep them safe”.
