Want to stop Animal Cruelty? Here is what you can do.

Animals. Big, small, and different species all around the world. They are here to be enjoyed by everyone. Which is why we have house pets, farm animals, zoos, and scientists going into the wild to find out more about them. Sadly though, there comes a downside to everything. Animal abuse. Abuse towards animals happens about 60 seconds to at least one animal in the state of California. Usually it occurs when a person has a lack of empathy for animals. It is truly an unfortunate thought to know about. Especially since it can be happening right here in your neighborhood. However, there is something you can do to try and prevent further cruelty to occur if you ever come across it. You are able to contact your local animal control agency or an animal shelter. For example, a number you can call here in Orange County for the Orange County Animal Care Services is (714) 935-6848. You can also report a suspected situation to animal welfare organizations like PETA. Or if it’s an immediate emergency, you are able to dial 911. Let us help protect one of the joys of the world.
