Tragically, innocent animals, who only seek love and companionship, become the unfortunate victims of human cruelty. Whether it’s passive cruelty like neglect or active cruelty like abuse, the horrific reality is still the same.
Recently, North Shore Animal League America responded to a rescue group’s plea for help that was cross-posted on the internet. We rescued Angel, a two-year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who had been severely neglected. She weighed only 24 lbs. when she should have weighed 50-60 lbs and almost all of her hair had fallen out from a severe skin condition. It was clear that Angel had been locked up in a cage and left for dead. Read Angel's Story Here.
If it were not for the collective efforts of many dedicated and determined pet lovers and activists, Angel would be dead today.
It is almost impossible to determine an exact number of animal cruelty cases. With so many going unnoticed or unreported, we can only estimate the statistics. It is also impossible to answer the question, “Why do people abuse animals?” There are many reasons why people abuse animals and many variations on the definition of abuse; but one thing is certain: animal cruelty in any form, for any reason is appalling and unacceptable.
Please join North Shore Animal League America in taking a stand against the vicious cycle of animal cruelty. Here are the three simple things you can do to support the League’s efforts toward putting an end to this senseless violence:
- Please take a moment to sign the Pledge to End Animal Cruelty on this page.
- Send this pledge to at least 3 people who will care enough to do the same.
- Read Angel's Full Story and make a donation, or pass the inspirational video on to your friends.
Thank you for helping us spread the word and supporting the League’s efforts to Rescue, Nurture and Adopt animals like Angel into their forever, loving homes.
