Around the world today, many bloggers are Blogging Against Abuse! To help raise awareness of the many abusive situations that still exists. We can all take steps to stop abuse, particularly animal abuse.
It’s important to be aware of animal abuse because there are many links between cruelty to animals and cruelty to humans. Negative behaviors such as torturing and killing innocent animals can easily lead to abusing and killing people. Don’t let animal abuse progress into something more. Simply reporting an animal abuser, even if it’s a child or a relative could save lives, those of the animals and people. Kip Kinkel, 15, was a young man who regularly bragged of abusing animals and he later went on to opening fire on his classmates in an Oregon High School.
Animal abusers also often end up being spousal and child abusers too. As many as 71 percent of women polled in one refuge home stated that their partners had threatened or harmed the family pet at some point.
Signs of animal abuse are lack of food and water, pets being kept outdoors all the time, severe matting or filth in their coats, skinny, ingrown collars, fear of people, and being aggressive with people. If you see potential abuse you can call your local humane shelter, animal control or the police. Be aware that if you alert the police there is a chance that you may not remain entirely anonymous. If you have pets of your own you should take care to keep them indoors or watch them at all times if you have them outside.
