Pet Cruelty
Barbarous acts to animals often lead to brutality to humans and this connection is well documented. It has been observed that serial killers often began their sprees of violence on animals. It is unfortunate that many law-makers and law enforcement officials do not connect the two acts. If they did, we might see stronger laws protecting animals and more real discipline for those who break the law.
We as a society must take these acts of cruelty,however small, very seriously.
We need to demand stronger sanctions for crimes against animals. We need to take a stand and proclaim that snimal cruelty will not be disregarded. To ignore this violence only invites more.
If an animal cruelty case comes to your attention, write letters to the prosecutors, the judge and others involved in the legislative process. Ask those responsible for the cruel act be given strict penalties so that a clear message of abhorrence to cruelty will be sent.
Remember, please spay and neuter your animals to help control the pet population and give thanks to all the volunteers, shelters, foster homes and rescue transport that are there to help all our pets.
Until next time,
