Taking Care Of Pets Should Be Everyone’s Concern
September 28th, 2008 Posted in Pet SupplyUnfortunately, someone else doesn’t always call in. According to the Humane Society of the United States, most cruelty complaints stem from simple neglect rather than deliberate abuse. The animal control officer’s major role is that of an educator to teach well-meaning but unknowledgeable pet owners about the proper care of pets.
Sometimes, the owners know how to care for their pets but circumstances in their lives make it difficult. Occasionally, people who live on the edge financially can no longer feed their pets when they lose a job, go through a divorce, have unexpected medical conditions or an increase in their housing costs.
Others who get sick or suffer from a debilitating condition such as depression, paralysis, etc., may forget to feed and water their animals or may be unable to get out of bed to care for them.
