The Horrible Reality
of Animal Abuse
and It's Relationship to Human Abuse.

Animal abuse in this country is increasing. Many of you have heard of the
Noah's Ark tragedy or of Olivia, the cat two college students set fire to.
There is increasing evidence that many violent crimes against humanity are preceeded
by animal violence. But in many states this cruelty is treated as a misdemeanor
because the law does not currently recognize the value of the life of an animal.
Be aware. Whenever you have the chance, speak up.
Help cherish the lives of all living creatures. They can't speak for themselves.
