Today we are joining thousands of Bloggers throughout the world, to make people aware of different types of abuse in the world.
My chosen topic is Animal Abuse, recently very much in the news with the Micheal Vick story of fighting and abusing dogs in his home in Virginia. And most recently, with the case of a rapper turned actor DMX, who is being investigated for animal cruelty to 12 Pit Bulls in Arizona and who formerly pleaded guilty to charges of 13 counts of animal cruelty in New Jersey back in 1999.
These stories help bring the subject of Animal Abuse to the limelight, but people need to be aware that this is happening all the time, all around us. The problem is nobody pays attention unless someone famous is doing it.
There are things we can do to prevent abuse:
- Get involved with Pet-Abuse.com. they keep a database of Animal Abusers, whether they have been convicted or not. They educate the public on Animal Abuse, they get people involved to prevent and put an end to Animal Abuse.
- Take care of the pets you have. Educate yourself
- Make a donation to Pet-Abuse.com
- Volunteer and Donate to a local Animal Shelter
- Get Involved with your local Government
- Be aware of the Animals around you, if you suspect anything , report it to your local shelter. They will go and investigate.
-
- Be aware of your neighborhood pets:
- Maybe there is an elderly person who could use some help taking care of their pets. You could help.
- Maybe their some kids in the neighborhood who are mistreating their pets or animals in general. You could educate.
- Maybe you know someone who would be a good pet owner, you can direct them to a local shelter instead of a breeder.
- Maybe you know a pet owner who doesn’t have their pet spayed or neutered, you can explain and convince them that there are way too many cats and dogs without homes and good pet owners already.
