Each
year thousands of animals across the country are abused ,
abandoned , or killed . This is very troubling in a
society such as ours . It is how we treat our innocent,
domesticated pets that distinguish us as a people .
Many people
think it's alright to beat , abuse and torture dogs and cats .
These poor animals never deserve such treatment , . . . they
only wish to give love and loyalty to their owners .
We've all
followed the reports
on
pro quarterback Michael
Vick and the horrific torture and death he performed on his
dogs . He is just one example of the heartless abuse thrust
upon so many of our country's pets .
So , if
many of these animals don't end up dead , many times they are
beaten and left on the side of the road to suffer needlessly .
If they
are lucky , they may end up in a animal shelter and be nursed
back to health .
Are YOU an
animal lover ?? If you are , then these actions should
be very disturbing to you . But , WHAT CAN YOU DO ? ?
Well , if
there is room in your heart AND home then perhaps you will
consider pet adoption . PLEASE DON'T BUY A PET FROM A PET
STORE OR PUPPY MILL ! There are thousands of loving and
wonderful cats and dogs available from the animal shelters and
rescues .
If you
already have pets and can't accommodate another animal ,
perhaps you can find the time to volunteer at one of the local
shelters .
If your
daily schedule doesn't permit this , then please consider a
small donation . Our volunteers will make sure it goes
to the most deserving organizations in our area !
Thanks
once again for your support !
