They breathe. They have a heart. They have a soul. They know hunger. They feel pain. They love and know when they are loved. They do have a voice, just not of words. These are our animals. Some provide us with milk, eggs & meat for food, others offer wool & furs for warmth, many give us entertainment. All provide moments of joy. Those we are closest to become our pets…we pamper and adore. But, all are not so lucky…
Within our society live humans who indulge, not in actions of love, but obtain pleasure in inflicting needless cruelty. Animals are starved and beaten with no remorse. Some survive remaining maimed for life. Too many die. Join the fight to end animal cruelty!

Thanks for reminding me… (and I really need to keep myself back from going to collect half a billion shelter kitties.) I’m sad sometimes I can’t save more of them. 😦
It’s hard to adopt animals in neeed now in New York. You have to be interviewed–a good thing–but also pay about 4-600 dollars for your pet. That means many will be put down because people just can’t afford them.
