PUBLIC EDUCATION
The fundamental "problem" is neither dumping nor de-sexing - the "problem" is not animals, the "problem" is an un-educated public who consider animals as disposable objects, like toys. When some people tire of an animal they dump it in the streets for someone else to find and care for. Other, responsible, people surrender animals for very genuine reasons - they move somewhere the animal is not welcome, become too old/sick to care for the animal, or no longer have the funds to care for an animal. The animal might also be unsuitable for various reasons or have a personality problem. Another facet of "the problem" is desexing. Recent surveys have shown men do not like to desex male animals as they associate desexing with castration of themselves. Educating the public is a primary focus! Stop Animal Abuse In the past years, many people have gotten away with animal abuse and neglect of their pets. The Public for Animal Welfare Society has made it as our mission to put a stop to animal abuse. According to penal code section 42.11, cruelty to animal is defined as: (a) 1.Torturing or seriously overworking an animal 2.Failing to provide necessary food, care or shelter for an animal in his custody 3.Abandoning without a cause an animal in his custody 4.Transporting or confining an animal in a cruel manner 5.Killing, injuring, or administering poison to an animal 6.Causing one animal to fight with another (b) For purpose of this section, "animal" means a domesticated living creature and wild living creature previously captured. "Animal" does not include an uncaptured wild creature or a wild creature whose capture was accomplished by conduct at issue under this section. We are determined to put a stop to animal mistreatment, abandonment and abuse. Together we can make a difference! |
