What can we do to solve this crisis?

We have seen enough evidence of how people are being abusive and irresponsible with animals. What can we do to end this huge world wide crisis that we sadly get to see every day? Well, we can start by:

1. Spay and Neuter Dogs (pets), Why? Because by not spaying or neutering your pet you put more animals in danger. Many people, don't want lots of dogs in their homes. So when their dogs reproduce they mainly give the puppies away or just abandon them. I've seen people who have done this! So therefore, let's not make this happen anymore. Take your pet to your nearest "Animal Hospital" and get them Spayed or Nuetered.

2. If you have horse, they are beautiful creatures that need special care, I was a horse owner and I knew how to take care of my horses. It's a shame to see horses roaming the streets and getting killed by cars, and also seeing these por animlas dying of hunger. If you have a horse or you are thinking of having one remember with great choices come great responsibilities. They are living creatures just like you and me. You have to feed them every day, give them a well protected home away from danger, medical attention and loving care.

3. Another thing you can do is create an organization in your town, where you and friends can fight for the rights of the animals. The government has laws and it is sad to say some of these laws are not being enforced and agencies stand by and  do nothing. We, the citizens, have the freedom of thought and speech. We should take action showing that even if the government doesn't care or do anything towards this situation we will because we speak for them!

4. Report animal abuse to your local police, City Hall, emergency management agency or animal rescue organization. It is a citizen's responsibility to report any crime that is taking place and animal abuse is a crime punishable by law.
In my town of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico you can report animal abuse by calling:
State Police- (787) 837-2020
City Hall - (787) 837- 2185
Emergency Management Office- (787) 837-2065
Visit http://fs19.formsite.com/mejd/form1/index.html and fill out a request for removal of stray dogs, cats or horses.

5. Adopt your pet. Visit any animal shelter and adopt a lovely pet. Shelters are overcrowded with adorable dogs, cats and horses that need a good and caring home.

6. Donate
You can donate money to shelters and animal rescue organizations. Most, if not all,  of them are non-profit and survive on the kindness of the people. If money is tight, you can donate your time and help as a volunteer. They are always in need of a helping hand.

We are here to protect and fight for the rights of those who do not speak (Abused Animals). And that is why we have the liberty and serenity of calling ourselves  "Animal Protectors".
