**WARNING** Mildly Graphic Images! Honesty! Viewer Discretion Advised!

I am so darn tired of hearing people say "oh, who could do that to a poor, innocent animal?"

On facebook, or the news, or in the paper. Often there are images of abandoned starving cats, a duck that some fool decided to beat and torture for the fun of it, a puppy mill where dogs are crammed into cages so tight they can't move. The general public sees these photo's as horrific! And they are. But they will look at these images, with their side shocked eyes, and say "I can't believe some awful human would do such a thing!

The next time you say that you LOVE animals, and that you are against animal cruelty, MEAN IT. And don't just sit idly by, "liking" images or posts on facebook, reading blogs, etc. EDUCATE. Give yourself the knowledge you need to change your lifestyle. Give others the knowledge they need to come to a larger understanding. As a whole, united, we can affect the circumstances.

We need you to wake up and open your eyes and really KNOW WHAT IT MEANS to cherrish all life.
