Save a Pet's Life

When it comes to the topic of animal cruelty, most of us will readily agree that animal cruelty is wrong. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how to stop or prevent it. Where as some are convinced that enough is being done, others maintain that there needs to be more done to protect the animals.

According to The Humane Society, Dogs, man's best friend, is the most common victims of animal cruelty. Of the 1,880 cases reported to the media, dogs were victims in over 64% of those cases. Now, while animal cruelty/abuse is a felony in many states, a very low percentage of offenders get caught because more people don't report them to the police. Many people feel that it isn't their concern to get involved, but ultimately, people who witness animal cruelty should feel obligated to report it. If you wont say something, who will? Be a voice for the voiceless, report an cruelty crime before its too late.
