I just read a story on the SPCA website about a dog who's owner doused him with gas and set him on fire. He also had cigarette burns on him from previous attacks.
http://pspca.org/ People are ignorant, and until the rest of us demand changes nothing will change. If not on a criminal justice level, then certainly on a social level.
People thumb their noses up at smokers more than they do abusers. That's social conditioning.
And people don't want to get involved, so the abuse continues. The laws now are NOT good enough. And the prosecutors need to take the abuse seriously, bnecause there is a definite link between animal abusers and serial killers, or any kind of people-abusers also.
All you need to do is write a letter. That's it. One letter addressed to whom it may concern, then send it over and over again via email to legislators and lawmakers, and the local DA, and the humane society, and anywhere your voice can be heard.
Like I said previously, our government sticks their noses into everything else we do, what is the reason for this lack of quick action to animal abuse issues? Bottom of their list? No one cares?
I think more people do care.
Pet Abuse .com is a good website to visit.
http://www.pet-abuse.com/ you can check out crimes local to PA.
Just click on this story for an eye opening to the courts, and just how perverted and sick people can and will be, without laws to protect the animals. The headline of this story is:
"Sex with horse results in man's death
Enumclaw, WA (US)"http://www.pet-abuse.com/cases/5034/WA/US/ Sometimes I wonder why I care so much. When people much smarter, and far more wealthy than I do not care at all, or are so consumed with themselves that all they
do care about is where their next botox injection is coming from, and/or what new gadget some guy will buy himself so he can brag to his buddies.
People have lost sight of what's important. Maybe it's stress. We do work hard, and we don't have a lot of time to enjoy life, but with the kind of people running around among us who would have sex with horses, or sheep, or douse a dog with gas... I just don't know.
There are really good people out there trying hard to make changes, and doing it with very little support. If you do care, but don't want to actually get into the trenches, then donate a few dollars to the animal rescue or group of your choice, and help them be able to do the dirty work.
I know... I know... there are so many causes. Help kids, help starving people in 3rd world countries, help starving kids here in America. I was just told about a group helping run-away teens stay warm during the recent cold weather in Texas. There's so much to do. How do you choose?
I guess you just pick the thing closest to your heart, and do something to help.
The important thing is to do something, and I know many of you already do.
