Fight Dog Cruelty!
I recently came across this heartbreaking picture of a dog tied around its mouth and thrown away with the garbage. I am left wondering why do some people keep a dog if they are not able to properly take care of it. After all, the dog is man’s best friend and this certainly is no way of treating a friend. If this picture touches you, then set the proper example by not doing such things to any animals.
Be a part of the solution and join a dog shelter or at least dedicate part of your weekend to helping abandoned dogs. What more can you do to help?
- Call your local animal control office, humane society, or sheriff’s department if you see a dog that is abused.
- Put up a fence instead of chaining your dog! Fences don’t have to be very expensive if you are willing to do some work yourself.
- Spaying and neutering a dog will help him to calm down and stay closer to home. The dog won’t run to search for mates and you won’t have issues with unwanted puppies.
- Provide food and fresh water daily. When you eat, remember to feed your dog also.

People that do this should be crucified , animals are defenceless and always loving . Its sad that owners treat animals so bad yet the animal still gives them back unconditional love.
String the bastards up themselves alongside the pedos .
This is soooo horrible! Dogs should be loved not killed!
Dogs or animals alltogether, DO NOT deserve what they get from there owners. They want to be loved, and they still give there love after being mistreated.

@ yomama - Its just a dog? Who cannot fight for there,if they do they get killed anyways! They have no voice,if they bark or snarl they must be mad-rabese?cant spell- But humans can talk, they can fight, but dogs or other poor animals no. And this dog has NO thumbs to take off the tie.
Also, aren’t we saving all the poor starving people?! Jeez. I get tired of hearing that. All everyone does it eat!
