Bad Treatment Of Dogs. What To Do.

Thinking about our pet dogs as a victim of our own abuse can be hard to imagine but under financial pressure, owners often take a first step in abandonment of a pet. People often simply leave their pet by the roadside or in vacated premises.

At a home in California, a German Shepard dog had been left alone so long that he was covered in his own feces and eating the drywall. It is a sad day for pets and you have to ask yourself what are these people thinking? Some have suggested people just are not thinking. They are walking away from their homes not knowing where they are going to stay.

Since time began, dogs have been abandoned, when it suited owners, and today is much the same. Unattended dogs become more desperate and dangerous as a result.

If you want evidence of a lack of care, consider the recent case of a man now under arrest for suspicion of torturing his dogs. The evidence against him is 40 suffering dogs still in his property and the skulls of dead dogs found nearby. As you might expect many of these dogs are totally frightened of humans. It is believed that the only reason for police intervention was due to vigilant neighbors.

Animal lovers everywhere will be upset by this story and rightly asking how they can stop further dog abuses. The answer is to get more involved where things do not seem to be right.

Watching for tell-tale signs is one way of finding out if an animal is suffering. If no one has been at home for a few days and you know there is a dog inside, then it is not hard to investigate a little, by ringing the doorbell and listening for an animal crying out.

All states have an animal abuse hot line you can call and they will respond. They take their jobs very seriously and will move heaven and earth to help an abused or abandoned dog.

Beyond reporting incidents, volunteer to foster an animal for a short time. The humane society is very good about helping with pet food should you foster a pet from them. You can also participate in fundraisers that contribute to the humane society. We can all make a difference by watching, reporting and lending a helping hand to our furry friends who need it.
