Background
More and more we hear about animal cruelty, cats having their ears cut off, eyes being injured and with dogs, throwing them off bridges, using them for dog fighting, an owner being neglectful and the dog being treated as a weapon/having to at times be put to sleep due to the carelessness of the breeders and owners.
This is happening far too often and some urgent action needs to be taken. This simply cannot go on!!
