WHAT IS ANIMAL CRUELTY?

WHO DOES THIS?
Some abusers started out as victims. They may have been attacked by an animal at a young age and never learned to empathize with animals.
According to the FBI, many people who are serial killers, started out abusing animals before they started killing humans.
People who abuse animals, usually have family problems that involve abuse to his/her family.

DOG FIGHTING
Many animals that attack people and have a vicious manner, are victims of dog fighting. These dogs are trained to fight other dogs by being pinned up by heavy chains, starved, and beaten.

PUPPY MILLS
Puppy mills are dog breeding facilities that put profits ahead of the welfare of dogs. They don't care about filth, disease, socialization, overcrowding. They don't care about inbreeding or genetic defects. They don't care about who adopts the puppies or about wearing out the breeding moms.

ADOPT, DON’T SHOP
There are thousands of dogs and cats that have to be put down every year because they couldn’t find a “forever home”. Many of these animals are never given a second chance to prove that they can be your best friend. There are animal shelters located all over the US with innocent animals ready for new homes!
