Do you drive or walk past some place, that makes you wonder WHY they have an animal? If you answer yes, have you thought to contact animal control, or one of the societies that help animals?
Do it, don't close your eyes and drive/walk by, call animal control and request that they check that poor kid out. Give them your name, or don't, but make the call. Animals, like children, have to depend on humans to help them, if you do not care enough, then perhaps you are as guilty or as thoughtless as the person that has that animal.
Make the call, basically its free, but you may be saving the life of some poor animal that has no one to speak for them.
These kids are lucky..they have love and attention.
