| There are different types of animal abuse and neglect. Many animals are abused and neglected simple due to overpopulation. According to statistics from the Humane Association of the United States, we kill over 4 million companion animals each year. Most of these animals are adoptable. At one time, this statistic was 17 million so we have made substantial progress but need to work smarter and harder so that we can end unintentional abuse and neglect. Getting people to take responsibility to spay and neuter pets is critical. Think about the prolific nature of animals. A single cat and her first year kittens can produce upwards of 150 cats within a three year period. The statistics for dogs is nearly equivalent. This overpopulation creates an imbalance in supply and demand and leaves many adoptable pets homeless.Intentional abuse includes starvation, mutilation, death, bludgeoning, etc. Any time you see a pet with unusual injuries, protruding rib cages, or you spy someone causing harm to the animal call authorities. I’ve personally stopped several incidences of young men beating animals by stopping my car, and shouting out the car window. I called authorities as well. If your area does not have special number to call to report animal abuse, call your local police. In many areas animal abuse is a felony. Also, the university of Washington veterinary school has a project called the “Link”. They are researching the link between animal abuse and abuse to humans. In Wisconsin, Senator Fred Risser, is working to pass a bill that will extend domestic abuse restraining orders and injunctions to include abuse to animals and threats of abuse to animals.Neglect is more complex and can include intentional or unintentional harm to pets. This may include abandonment, failure to provided food, water or shelter, excessive ground staking, denying the pet social interaction, untreated medical conditions, failure to groom, etc. Neglect such as abandonment can lead to death.Other types of neglect have a direct correlation to poverty and disease. Sometimes people who live on the edge financially can no longer feed their pet when they lose a job, go through a divorce, have unexpected medical conditions, or their housing cost goes up. Other people who get sick, or suffer from debilitation diseases such as major depression, full body paralysis, etc., may have times when they forget to feed and water their animals or when they are physically unable to get out of bed and care for their pet. By getting to know our neighbors and being willing to help each other, we can help each other with pet care, and may be able to help our neighbors and friends keep an animal they love. This type of neglect can usually be corrected if neighbors, friends, and relatives, are willing to pitch in.Intentional neglect includes abandoning an animal, dumping them on the streets or in the country, failure to provide food, water, shelter, and medical care when the animal’s guardian (or owner) has the resources to do so, casual or excessive animal breeding, keeping animals in inhumane conditions.Occasionally, this type of neglect may be stopped by caring neighbors, so it’s always worth a try. Gather one or two other neighbors who are also concerned, figure out what you will say to the person ahead of time, and then approach the person neglecting their pet. Try to express your concern rather than judgment. Sometimes, people are ignorant and they’ll come around. Most people want to be liked by their neighbors. If they don’t respond, if the animal(s) are in very poor condition, or if you do not feel safe speaking to the person who is neglecting their pet, call the authorities.
