I acknowledge that cruelty exists, and much of it goes unreported or found. And I really cannot even pretend to understand what makes a person be intentionally cruel to an animal. And they have proven that there is a strong link from abusing or sadistically killing animals to stepping up to abusing and killing people. And to expand this, I simply don't understand why if so many are against animal cruelty or abuse don't most of them stand up and report it or help stop it?
The ASPCA gives 10 simple guidelines to recognize and do your part to help stop abuse in your area. But there is more you can do on a bigger scale too. You can choose to not buy products from companies who have shown to have abuse or cruelty at their facilities, like the dairy. You can become informed as to where that milk is processed and refuse to buy milk from that facility who receives it's milk supplies from the abusing dairy. Same goes for farms for pigs, chickens, etc. In the case of the seal hunts in Canada, yes, it's not a good thing and there really isn't a need for it anymore, so encourage your local stores to NOT carry any Canadian seafoods in their stores, refuse to buy Canadian seafood. The way to get legislation and laws changed is to hit the pocketbooks. Buy from responsible companies who practice humane animal raising and harvesting practices. Watch your area, where you live, know who to report possible cruelty and abuse to. Be proactive.
Stop ignoring it, it won't go away. By your ignoring it, you are allowing it to continue, and the perpetrator to get worse and possibly cause the death of a person. And yes while I don't understand what the perpetrator must be thinking or feeling or how they can justify the abusive actions, we won't get them to stop if we don't report it.
And yes this is a global problem, not just here in the US. We as the "higher intellegence" beings agreed to care for all life and protect it. Do your part.
