Dog abuse: This is a very serious
matter. I don’t understand why people beat and kill their animals just because they
weren’t pleased with them, something they did, or just weren’t happy. That’s
like saying your child messed something up and you just about beat them to
death. It’s just uncalled for and inhumane. In the Louisiana there is a place
called Villalobos Rescue Center. It’s on a show on animal planet called Pit Bulls and Paroles. Most people after
they get out of jail they’re on parole and can’t get a good job so their hired
on this project to help out. They rescue abused, injured, and endangered pit
bulls. Some people think since that they’re just animals and not humans they
can just do whatever they want to them and get away with it, but this is not
the case. For killing or abusing an animal there is a hefty fine and jail time.
Animal Cruelty is defined as:
“causes death or unjustifiable physical pain or suffering to any animal by an
act, an omission, or willful neglect. Willful neglect means the intentional
withholding of food and water required by an animal to prevent starvation or dehydration.”
This is a misdemeanor with a fine up to $1000 and/or imprisonment for up to 1
year. A second or subsequent conviction carries of fine of up to $5000 and
imprisonment for up to 1 year. A second or subsequent conviction which resulted
in the death of an animal will be a misdemeanor of “a high and aggravated
nature” with imprisonment for a minimum 3 months, maximum 12 months and/or a
fine up to $10,000. This part of info

Animals can be treated so cruelly and I do agree that it is in humane to treat an animal so badly that you almost kill them. Sadly, it happens every day and most people get away with it. They just kill them when they are old and bury them in their back yard so that they don't get in trouble. Animals have feelings why would they choose to harm them? In my family our dogs are like our little sisters so we always refer to them as sisters. We did have two dogs that died and one of them died because she some how broke one of her ribs while playing and died at the age of 7, the other died at the age of 14 last year because of old age. Then, the other day we found a kitten in our car tire because my dog cornered it there and it had one normal eye and one eye that was pussy in the middle. I t was probably like 9 months old and then the next day it died. We did what we could to help it but it still died from infection because it had to fend for its self. I never understood why people would just put a kitten on the road and leave it to fend for its self.
