  7. What can be Done? • It all starts with people who care. People like YOU. • According to the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, on July 1, 2007, it became MANDATORY for Veterinary Professionals to report suspected animal abuse. • Even if you’re not a veterinary professional, you can still help. You can call the police or humane society and tell them you suspect animal abuse. Josie Atwood

  8. Quotes against Animal Cruelty • I've always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don't fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we're smarter—what a joke. ~ P!nk • Thou shalt not kill. --Exodus 20:13
