The Plea of guilty by Michael Vick, and his on charges related to dog fighting, has focused the country's attention on animal cruelty, and dog fighting in particular. In July, federal prosecutors alleged that the Atlanta Falcons quarterback bought and sponsored dogs for the purpose of dog fighting, traveled across state lines to engage in illegal activities, including gambling, and helped kill several dogs that didn't pass muster as fighters. Three co-defendants in the Vick case have already pleaded guilty to reduced charges.And Michael has done the same that story is old news I'm hear to ask you do you know what to do when you spot animal cruelty?
There are many types of animal abuse. Animals can be abused anywhere from homes to zoo's, or even pet stores. The Vick indictment has brought new attention to dog fighting, but other types of animals--most notably gamecocks--are also used for fighting. In addition to fighting, animal abuse can also include:
Neglecting an animal by locking them in a car during hot weather, or leaving them in other locations without food, water or shelter
Abandoning a pet
Maliciously hurting, torturing, maiming or killing an animal
Hording animals
Failing to provide medical care to sick or injured animals that one owns
Because animals are largely silent victims, who can't reach out to authorities themselves, law-enforcement officials must often rely on witness such as friends and neighbors to bring cruelty, abuse and neglect to their attention.
If in doubt about whether particular behavior constitutes abuse, it's better to err on the side of caution and report the suspected abuse to officials
