The violence and neglect of animals in Puerto Rico is something incredible. It's truly the time we all do something about it! Especially the poor dogs and cats, but often also happens with other pets that are abused in different ways. The most commonly seen abuse is the neglect and physical, failure to provide vaccines and medical care when they are sick. Every day you see hundreds and hundreds of dogs and cats that have been abandoned in the streets of the island. Wherever you go, no matter if the country or the cities, even the capital city of San Juan, dogs and cats can be found beaten, sick and malnourished - some skeletal looking or dead and killed due to the fact that some people prefer to kill them on the roads with their cars than to stop their automobiles to give allow them to cross the roads.
With the correlation between animal abuse and crime and psicopatic / antisocial behavior, I ask you to please sign this petition and to help against animal abuse, since if animal abuse is controlled, eventually crime and abuse towards people also will go down.
Education in schools and everywhere, including the media, as well as shelters properly prepared with at least a vet in every city of Puerto Rico is of the essence to provide low cost vaccines and healthcare. With a heavyheart I ask you to please sign this petition so we can bring hope to the animals that need it most as well as to the residents of Puerto Rico of living in a healthier and safer island.
