Yeah, by the title, I know what you're thinking. “Oh my gosh, another blog about animal abuse?! Seriously?!” Hold on a second though, this is a very serious problem.

Monday, I saw a stray cat in pain because spurs were stuck to it's fur and poking it, causing it to bleed because it was laying down and trying to rub them off. Instinctivly, I picked about twenty spurs from it's fur, because it was very depressing to see it cause it's own pain. I had a lot of blood and such on my hands, so I went inside to wash off my hands. The cat waited on the porch for me. After I washed my hands, I took the cat in and gave it a bath, cleaned the cuts and bandaged them, and brushed out it's fur. The poor thing is staying with me now.

We could all take a lesson from this. This cat was neglected and left outside to die. I don't understand how someone could do this to such a cute animal. Sure, it wasn't physically harming it, but they could have at the very least put it in a shelter, knowing it would find a good home. Why would I help out something that's not my responsibility? I care, that's why.

I forgot to mention the dead dogs that my neighbors kept in their yard, frozen to death. Don't worry, though, they're in big trouble.

It's a terrible thought, but it happens every day. Why don't we all help out? Volunteer at a shelter, find homes for strays, help out an injured animal. That's all I ask of you. My experiences have shown me the ugliness of the world. Animals are sweet things, they have feelings too, right? Right. Stop animal abuse, it's not a win!!
