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.

  4. 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 .

  6. 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.

  12. @ 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.
