STOP Animal Abuse

Puppy Mills is an establishment that breeds puppies for sale typically on an intensive basis with conditions that are regarded as inhumane.

Animal Hoarding is defined as keeping a higher than usual amount of animals as domestic pets without the ability to properly house or care for them.

Dog Fighting is a fight between dogs, especially when it is organized illegally for public entertainment.

- People who have mental disorders or have been in abusive relationships are more likely to abuse animals.

- Also, people who are uniformed about how they treat their pet can be abusive as well as People who are/have been tied to criminal activity can be abusive towards animals.

We plan to raise awareness for animal abuse by creating a public service announcement [PSA] to show how you can take care of animals by volunteering your time and donating some of your money to animal shelters and PetSmart.

We also hope to provide a resource for reporting animal abuse and show people can heal and learn from therapy with animals.
