"Animals Do Not Have A Voice Of Their Own. If We Do Not Stand Up And Speak For Them... Who Will?!"

How can any human being ever be so cruel, inhumane and heartless as to cause pain and suffering to another living, feeling and breathing creature of God!!!

This is incredibly disturbing, these people are obviously sick! Law enforcement officals must do something to stop this immediately- we need to send a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in a "civilized" society!!!These individuals must be punished to the fullest extent of the law and then some!

I was watching my favorite show when the hosts started talking about using animals to draw children into vans of strangers, and using animals to get people to join cults against the animals

I have seen news reels about things like using animals as bait

How dare anyone think this is ok and that they are "just animals". My "fur babies" are just that, my babies. Yes they are animals but they are treated with respect and love.

Unfortunately, such people probably suffered of the serious psychical and very deep spiritual problems, so I am sure that they can do the same thing to the other people "with a safe conscience".
