Animal Cruelty Awareness and Adoption
What is animal cruelty?
It is animal abuse to leave an animal without food, killing and hurting it. Some signs of abuse are tick infestation, wounds, patches of missing hair, extremely thin, limping, and being chained outside in extreme weather conditions. These are homeless animals trying to survive.
Statistics
Every year, 1.2 million animals get put down and 3.1 million are left behind. That is a lot, so let's bring that number down and be like this person.
