The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. ~ Anna Sewell
Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our souls when we look the other way. Martin Luther King
ANIMAL CRUELTY....WHERE DOES ONE BEGIN?
How to begin a discussion about animal cruelty? It is a subject that is highly emotive, disturbing; there is so much that goes on and so few effective resources to deal with it; and awareness often leads one to a dead end feeling of impotence, hopelessness, and sometimes a sense of personal failure. This often leads people to turn their backs, walk away into a more comfortable place in their minds.......and who can blame them?
How does one define it? Legally, morally, emotionally? How do YOU define it? How do you decide for yourself that an animal is being treated cruely? What do you do about it if you are concerned? Not easy is it?
What about neglect? Is this cruel? How much of this goes on only because people are ignorant? How much of it is truly intentional? Does this make a difference in how you "tag" an animal as being abused?
