Taking Action Against Animal Neglect
To witness animal neglect and not do anything about it can make one an accessory after the fact, although the law may not come after an individual for not reporting the abuse. Domestic animals are helpless and depend on us for protection and care. If abuse or neglect is present, then is up to us to make sure that it is reported and dealt with swiftly.
If a person lives in a rural area that does not actually have a humane shelter that they can contact, then they should still report the abuse. They can do this by contacting their local police department.
They also have the jurisdiction to make sure that the animal laws against cruelty are enforced. Another place to check if one does not feel comfortable contacting the police is a website that can help locate a local animal care organization. Two of these sites are Petfinder.com and Pets911.com.
The world of animal neglect is a sad thing. So many times people overlook animal abuse or cruelty because they are not sure what to do. With just a phone call one can help an animal who is in need.
Even farm animals horses and other livestock are covered by the animal laws that exist in most places. One only has to take the initiative to keep the animals safe. They are counting on us.
