    It does little to address the main problem: irresponsible owners. As animals, dog’s do not have the same moral compass as humans. It is an owner’s job to train, socialize, vaccinate, neuter, license, and provide all necessary living essentials for their pet. Establishing and enforcing leash laws is also important in ensuring the safety of others. Citizens should be educated in knowing dog body language, behaviors that are safe around a dog, and what to when a dog shows hostility. Children not old enough to understand these guidelines should require adult supervision. Taking these steps will help prevent more victims from experiencing the physical and emotional pain related to a

    We consider our animals like our family. Even if the animal does not belong to us, we always try to feed them and help them when they are in need. The Walls family doesn’t even take care of their own pets that they have had for a long time. They abused their animals, and today there are laws that could get them fined or arrested. "61-8-19. Cruelty to animals; penalties; exclusions. (a) (1) It is unlawful for any person to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly, (A) Mistreat an animal in cruel manner; (B) Abandon an animal; (C) Withhold; (i) Proper sustenance, including food or water; (ii) Shelter that protects from the elements of weather; or (iii) Medical treatment, necessary to sustain normal health and fitness or to end the suffering of any animal; (D) Abandon an animal to die; (E) Leave an animal unattended and confined in a motor vehicle when physical injury to or death of the animal is likely to result; (F) Ride an animal when it is physically unfit; (G) Bait or harass an animal for the purpose of making it perform for a person 's amusement; (H) Cruelly chain or tether an animal; or (I) Use, train or possess a domesticated animal for the purpose of seizing, detaining or maltreating any other domesticated animal."

  • Pitbull For Dummies Book Report

    Because I had never owned a pit bull, and because of all the stories, I informed my daughter that we would research information concerning not only the breed, but also his care. There were more than a few books of information. I bought a book entitled, “Pitbull’s for Dummies”. This book not only describes the history of the breed, but informs new owners of the care that these dogs require. Also, I learned what kind of toys were best suited for him. I went shopping and created a play pen which had a crate in it. I put the puppy bed in the crate with blankets, and stuck all his stuffed animals around the crate. The floor was covered in potty pads. I was informed by the lady at the store that it would make the transition of a new home easier,

A woman walks her chocolate Labrador down one of the dirt walking trails; people comment on how cute the dog is, and some even let their children go over to pet the dog. Further back, down that same trail, a man is getting into shape by walking his American Pit Bull Terrier. The atmosphere suddenly changes for the same people around this animal. People on the trail try to avoid the dog and few make comments to their children to stay away; “that is a mean dog.” Only this Pitbull is not “mean,” this dog has never hurt a human or another animal in her

  • Animal Hoarding

    1988 Words  | 4 Pages

    The general public has a lack of understanding of animal hoarding. Many citizens do not realize that anyone can report abuse (Donaghey 2011). There are “…900 to 2,000 new cases [found] every year… with a quarter million animals falling victim” in the United States alone (Animal). If every hoarder has a neighbor on either side there are at least 4,000 witnesses to these crimes yearly. One reason for witnesses not reporting cases is the unknown fact that hoarded animals “range in species from cats and dogs to reptiles, rodents, birds, exotics and even farm animals” (Animal). Hoarded animals show signs of abuse which witnesses can detect such as heartworms, embedded collars, beaten, social issues, emaciated, or if they generally look unhealthy (Donaghey 2011).

    A few days ago, while walking my dog, I decided to run with him but with the leash in my hand, so that way he could be free to stop and sniff wherever he wanted. This experience was very good for the dog because he was not tied to the limits that I provided, but he was always by my side running. A couple of minutes after being “free” a policeman showed up. To my surprise he was upset with me and said that having a dog without control was a big misdemeanor. Then, he proceed to take my information and gave me a citation to the Municipal Court of The Colony, while my dog was still trying to sniff around, like nothing different was happening. Afterwards, I looked for places or parks that were dog-friendly in order to take my dog, and that wa...
