Treat Us Kindly - April is Animal Cruelty Prevention Month
Treat Us Kindly - April is Animal Cruelty Prevention Month
We, as a society, have come a long way in the last decade with fighting against animal cruelty, but sadly it hasn't disappeared but perhaps has only gone further underground. And although it is something we address year-round, we still need a month dedicated to bringing awareness to the plight of animals who face daily fear, neglect and abuse anywhere. The best way to determine cruelty is to put yourself in the animals' places and think about how you’d feel under their circumstances. If you wouldn't like it, neither would the animals. Animals simply want to be treated kindly and live feeling safe without suffering. If you see an animal suffering, REPORT IT. You may be their only voice and their last chance. Are there ways to help the animal's owners care for their animals better as their life circumstances may have taken a turn for the worse? How can we help each other better? Report anything suspicious to local authorities as soon as possible so they may look into a situation. YOUR Humane Society SPCA urges animal lovers to help raise awareness about cruelty issues, to help educate those who may not understand, and to encourage everyone to contact their local shelter to get information on rescuing or adopting. A rescued pet is a safe one, who has hope and kindness coming its way. Teach your children about compassion and kindness by your example. Report neglect/cruelty or suspicion of it immediately to local authorities so they may investigate it further. YOU COULD BE AN ANIMAL'S ONLY CHANCE. YOUR Humane Society SPCA is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill organization helping animals in need throughout their community as Sumter County’s oldest and largest private no-kill shelter. Donations directly help to cover the cost of saving, treating and caring for neglected, abused and abandoned animals.
