ASPCA- We Are Their Voice -

MB Nichols Company

ASPCA Animal Abuse is

unfortunately more common than most

people believe.

It’s not hard to care about a friend who loves you

unconditionally, & yet,

many animals suffer at the very hands

of the ones they love.

Sometimes abuse is neglect…

…Other times it’s cruelty

At all times…

IT’S WRONG!

In the State of California:

Animal cruelty is a criminal offense, punishable from a six month term in

jail up to a one year term,

in state prison.

Financial penalties include fines from $1,000 up to $20,000 dollars.

Statistics

of animal brutality. Of the 1,880 cruelty cases media reported in 2007:

• 64.5% (1,212) involved dogs.

• 18% (337) involved cats.

• 25% (470) involved other animals.

“You will not find accurate statistics on cruelty to animals.”

“You might find hints and stories of abuse, but you will never really know how many animals

suffer at the hands of man.”

“We will never know just how many animals are abused,

or by whom.”

“To get the numbers of abused animals is impossible.”

“It is better to focus on why abuse happens,

and how we can prevent it.”
