Companion Animals

I’m going to say this quietly.

I’m going to whisper this softly.

Companion animals feel pain, feel hunger, feel cold, feel heat.

They depend on us.

Our companion animals may be descended from creatures that do fairly well in the wild, but cities and suburbs are not the wild and our pets do not have automatic ‘instincts’ that will ensure their survival if we fail them.

They depend on us.

Support low-cost spay/neuter programs. Support your local shelter. Support legislature that will curtail or close down ‘puppy mills’, dog-fighting, and other such horrible crimes.

They depend on us.

I’m going to say this quietly.

I’m going to whisper this softly.

Because if I don’t I will rage until the world burns down.
