  9. Dogs are a person’s best friend! But most animals, we call pets, are our best friends. Well at least they definitely consider us their best friend …

  10. The basic needs for a healthy & happy pet Are we really worth their friendship? Who can tell us what the basic needs are for animals/pets?

  11. Happy pets!

  12. Healthy pets!

  13. According to the RSPCA, there are 5 basic requirements that lead to a healthy & happy pet. Home & Shelter Proper diet & fresh clean water Exercise Appropriate company Protection and treatment of illness and injury

  14. 1. Home & Shelter Imagine if you lived outside with no shelter in the summer heat or the cold and windy rainy days we get here in the winter? How unhappy and possibly ill would you get?

  15. 2. Proper diet & fresh clean water It is proven that a healthy diet and regular exercise increases your life span. This is also true for animals. Fast food, sweets and generally foods high in salts are bad for dogs … But so is NO food!

  16. No Food?

  17. 3. Exercise Exercise to be allowed to express their normal behavior, having enough space to run around, to sniff about and explore. Imagine if your parents tied you to your desk? Or never let you go out to parties? Or imagine if your parents only let you go out for 2 months of the year and were not allowed to speak to anyone?

  18. We want to explore!

  19. Exercise!

  20. Exercise!

  21. No exercise 

  22. 4. Appropriate company Just like you like to hang out with your friends, so do dogs like to hang out with other dogs. They are, what we call, 'Pack ‘ animals, so taking them for walks, where they get to ‘meet’ other dogs and sniffing is good for them. Imagine if your parents never let you text, call, face book or speak to anyone? Do you think you would be a happy kid?

  23. Company …

  24. 5. Protection and treatment of Illness and Injury Like us, dogs can get sick too. Imagine if you got really sick and your parents just left you outside and hoped that you just got better on your own? Do you think you would? Sometimes, we NEED to visit a Doctor, just like our pets do.

  25. These are 5 very basis things that, like humans, dogs need to survive. If you could chose to give up 1 of these, which would you give up and why? Difficult choice isn’t it? Dogs that have even 1 of these basic needs removed, look like this: As we can see, removing one of these basic needs can really change an animals life. How different is this from abuse? Why do you think people abuse animals?

  26. Animal abuse Animal abuse is not only what harm we actively do to pets, but also what we inactively do to them. In other words, not feeding them properly or leaving them in the sun tied to a 2 meter rope with no water is also abuse. People who abuse animals are considered to be uncivilized, uncaring and even mentally unstable.

  27. The next photo’s show some severe forms of abuse on dogs .. You may turn your head if you can not watch it. Some of these dogs did not survive … some however where rescued and are being adopted by nice family's.

  28. Success story: Gypsy I don’t think most of those dogs had a happy ending … however, let me tell you a story about an abused animal that HAS a happy ending, the story of: Gypsy.

  29. Gypsy was found on the Island, soaking wet, very sad and weighing 10 kilo less than what she should have weighed. He also had a very deep, open neck wound that was caused by a rusty piece of wire, tied onto his ‘rope’ collar. The wounds on his legs were caused by biting himself as he was bored and Stressed.

  30. It took many months of care to get him to where he is today; food, antibiotics, cleaning his wounds and just loving him. Now he travelled to his new home in the Netherlands 

  31. Homeless Dogs Worldwide there are many abused dogs, but even more homeless dogs. Just walk around your area, can you see them wandering about and looking for food and friends? Why, do you think, became these dogs homeless?

  32. Reasons for becoming homeless … Puppy’s given as a Christmas or Birthday present, because Puppy’s are always “cute”.

  33. Homeless dogs, due to cost of keeping a dog …

  34. Dogs that are bored and therefore damage or destroy possessions / property …

  35. Dog obsolete due to shifting priorities of child, no time for Pet …

  36. Unneutered dogs that have become pregnant and as a result have multiplied existing problem …

  37. What should the Pet owners have thought of, or done instead, of ‘dumping’ the dog on the street? Discussion …
