Less than one month ago a severely beaten dog dubbed "Puppy Doe" was found near a state park in Quincy, Massachusetts. Massachusetts has animal cruelty laws, but none aimed at the level of cruelty that Kiya, and other animals face daily in homes around the U.S. Battered Pet Syndrome consists of getting and/or keeping an animal for the sole purpose of torture. Animal cruelty is rising, it is rising in the number of cases, and in brutality. Unless we hold these individuals to  harsher punishment nothing will change. 

Please do not let Kiya's life of hell, and death go unnoticed. To read about Kiya's story please click on the link below.
