Animal Abuse Is Close To Human Abuse

In a small city next to Boise ID, at cat's tail was left in a mailbox. This is not an isolated incident. People who physically abuse animals have escalated to the abuse of men, women, and children.

This is a serious issue. There is even a national registry for people abuse animals. NBC air a report about a veterian who took investigating abuse to the level of CSI. We are going to see more special teams to protect animals.

There are two type of animal abusers. The aggressive physical abusers who mutilate and create fighting situations. Dog fights is the most common of this form of abuse. The other group just ignore proper care and feeding. Cats and dogs allowed to breed unclean and crowded conditions. I could list 100's of examples.

I am very emotion about this subject, because I an owner of three cats. Each has a personality of their own. They are a big part of our family.
  • Princess - The oldest, the most sophisticated, and overseer of the other two cats.
  • Star Fire - The most independent. Star Fire is our Garfield. A house cat that must go out each morning for his morning walk.
  • Oscar - The youngest that keeps the other cats young. He bolts through the house for any reason.
What can we do in our daily life to help the creatures in which we share this planet?
