Animal Abuse
To me animals were never a concern. Animals were just creatures put on this earth, and whatever happened to them, well, I simply didn't care. I saw them as just animals that didn't have feelings or even much intelligence. I always did love animals; I just didn't think much of them. My views on that have changed tremendously. I never knew how wrong I was. Animal abuse has gone on for too long and gotten entirely out of hand. Working at a pet store I see first hand on how people treat their animals. People bring their pets in everyday. Seeing how some people treat the animals would turn your stomach. I now believe that animals feel and think just as people do. When people abuse them it upset me to watch the poor defenseless animal lie there, scared stiff. Animals can't talk for themselves, so that's why people must talk for them. Of all the animals that I see come in the store, dogs seem to get the raw end of the deal. I've seen more dogs abused than anything else.
Watching people bring their dogs to the vet can be heartbreaking in itself. Countless number of pitts that I see come in have scars all over from fighting. Pitt bulls seem to be the preference of most fighting handlers. Animals trained to kill are not only a danger to themselves but a danger to other people as well. I believe in it to a certain extent. Dog abuse will probably never stop completely, but hopefully it can be cut down to a minimum. People just need to be educated of how bad this problem has really gotten to understand why I feel this way. Neglectance, I believe plays a big part in abuse. Temperament depends on the handler, and how the dog was raised. Watching people dropping off unwanted puppies and driving off, only to have the puppy chase the car crying, will bring tears to your eyes. I have seen more dogs dropped off than I would care to remember. As it turns out the dog died of dehydration because he was left outside for two days in 100 degree heat with no water. The sad thing is, if they treat their animals that way, imagine how they treat people.
