Animals can't speak for themselves, so we, as animal lovers, have to be their voice and protect them. If you happen to witness animal cruelty, make sure you report it to the appropriate authorities ASAP. In cases of extreme abuse, time is of the essence, so the sooner you call, the better odds the animal has. You may want to consider reporting the incident to both law enforcement and your local humane society. Take pictures or videos of the abuse if you can. Video and photographic evidence will strengthen the case and help police prosecute the offender to the fullest extent. -ctto
