A groomer/boarder in my town is under arrest for allegedly poisoning dogs at a competitor's business. Her attorney, while trying unsuccessfully to get a change in venue, said that a new wave has swept the country and the abuse of animals evokes the same emotion as the abuse of children. He said we are somewhat desensitized to murder, but cruelty to animals and children is now extremely difficult to defend against. |
Animal abuse is on the rise. Millions of animals DAILY are abused Worldwide.
We need tougher laws! We need legislation to change this! Animals are not disposable and they do count!
PETA has done more damage then good! People hear the words animal activist and picture an over the top crazy person splashing red paint on someone wearing a fur coat.
I love animals and just want to protect them. I want to stop puppy mills!
We need people to speak up, sign petitions and let those who are caught abusing animals know that we as a Country won't stand for it!
I am stepping down from my soapbox now...
