Education is the first part of this profile, many sadly do not know what animal cruelty truly is and how gruesome it can become. I am not trying to frighten or anger anyone with this profile, my intention is merely educate what animal cruelty is and what ways people can take to help stop it. A website I found to be very useful and educational is the website http://www.pet-abuse.com/pages/prevent_abuse.php This website can clear up what acts are considered severe animal abuse and how to get involved with your local government to inform them that animal cruelty is a serious problem that is in desperate need to be taken seriously. The website also gives certain suggestions how to prevent further abuse on animals by volunteering at a local animal shelter, Humane Society, adopt or encourage others to adopt an abused animal - mainly mutts or older animals within the shelters. Another way to help stop the promotion of animal abuse is to stop attending or encourage others to stop attending local rodeos, bull fights, or dog races. Do not allow illegal dog fights, cock fights or any other torturous forms of fighting involving an animal. Report whoever is setting up the illegal fights to the local police immediately. If you know anyone who is neglecting, abusing, starving, or mutilating their pet, please report it to your local police station as soon as possible before the abuse ulitmately results in devastating consequences.Layout made by
These dogs are called "Killers" and "Monsters" but not one word is mention about the person who abused them. Because of the ignorance caused by their abusers, supporters of people who have committed animal cruelty and just closed-minded people believe that pit bulls are here for our entertainment or that they are the ones that kill. Do the dogs above seem like a threat? Do they look like cold-blooded killers? No, people who own a pit bull know that these dogs are loyal, lovable and playful if you treat them with respect and love. Not fear and hate. These dogs are gathered to play together. These dogs were not so lucky. Why should they suffer more than they already have for a crime that was committed by the person who abused them? Why is the victim facing the consequences? Breed Specific Legislation is punishing these pit bulls who were beaten, starved and tortured by a person who had no soul, is that justice? Pit bulls who were lucky enough to find a loving home with a good family are being forcibly seperated from their family or killed all because people who had no hearts enjoyed watching them kill each other. Why the victims? Why not the abuser? Blame the abuse, blame the torture, and above all, blame the one who caused the abuse. Don't blame the victim.
