It is so sad to think about all the animals that have been needlessly destroyed because people fail to spay and neuter their pets, to control animal over-population. There is a stigma about strays, but it isn't of their choosing. It's only through ignorant, uncaring people that they have become abandoned. Animals should not be allowed to wander loose, only to become injured, killed, lost, or a nuisance to others. But, we should get involved.
All animals deserve basic food and shelter provisions.
Organizations nationwide are becoming more active. Laws are being enacted to deal with abuse and abandonment of animals. The governor has made it a felony when one commits an act of extreme cruelty and abuse upon an animal. People who shamefully mistreat and abuse animals should receive stiffer penalties. Enforcing legal action for those who do not comply with the neuter and spaying of pets and also for abandonment, should take place.
