Article Title: Who Let The Dogs Out?
Author: Maryann Mannax
I'm sure that most of you cannot imagine anyone leaving their
dogs outside in the sleet and snow or in very hot weather with
hardly any shelter but, in fact, there are many dogs facing this
dilemma right now. The animal rights group PETA has come up
with a program called "Angel for Animals".
Because of this wonderful program, many dogs can now find
refuge in well-built doghouses through this winter and many
more. PETA has gone into low-income, rundown areas and supplied
hundreds of strong and sturdy doghouse. These are free of charge
and help dogs who would have had to tolerate the ice and snow
and cold without any shelter. But there are many more dogs that
will have to go through this terrible ordeal. A perfect way to
bring happiness and kindness to a poor little dog that has never
known love or contentment is to participate in the "Angel for
Animals doghouse sponsorship"
in the life of a disadvantaged dog. There are also a lot of
other organizations that are dedicated to helping dogs. You can
easily look on line and find a group that you may want to get
involved with.
Charles Darwin said that, "There is no fundamental difference
between humans and the higher mammals in their mental
faculties". We all need to have compassion for the innocent
animals that do not have anyone else to speak up for them.
Mahatma Gandi said that "the greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be measured by the way its animals are treated".
Animals suffer the same way that humans do, so we should all do
our part and try to be aware of anything we can do to help.
Children should learn to love and respect animals to ensure that
the animals will be well taken care of in the future.
If you happen to observe a dog in a backyard that looks like
it is in impending danger, say if the animal is very thin or
looks ill or injured or either doesn't have any shelter or
cannot access it, find out which agency is responsible for
implementing anti-cruelty laws in your state, county, or town
and then notify them of what is going on. Then let the
authorities know all crucial points as to what you have
observed. Give dates, locations and approximate times. Always
keep documentation of everyone you get in touch with, the dates
of the contacts and the subject matter and result of your
conversation. Keep copies of everything for yourself.
A lot of times we may not want to get involved because we
think it is none of our business. But it is the business of
concerned people to speak up when living things are treated so
cruelly. Every day we have the opportunity to help treat animals
with love and compassion.. Even small changes will make a
difference. In the long run, we will feel much better about
ourselves.
