Just saw this on the news:

Sixty dogs were rescued from an illegal breeder here in Missouri.  The dogs were brought to the St. Louis Humane Society because they have a large enough facility to house the dogs while they are nursed back to health.  This breeder kept the dogs in wire cages with wire bottoms, making it difficult for the dogs to stand.  The dogs were kept in the yard and weren't brushed, walked, or given any attention.  One dog they featured had a mat in its fur from one front leg to its tail.

Why do people do this to animals?  Just because they're animals doesn't mean they deserve to be treated that way!  It breaks my heart when I see how people mistreat their pets--people leave them in cars while they go shopping or leave them in the back of their trucks and drive around with the dog sliding around in the back.  Or people who let their cats run wild.  I have a neighbor like this.  She lets the cat outside every day and it roams around, hiding in bushes and hanging out on people's decks.  One of these days the cat will get hit by a car and how will she feel then?  She's probably one of those people who will brush it off and run out and get another cat.

Why?  Why are people so careless when it comes to animals?
