Lucy was no longer wanted by her owner after ten years of service, and she was thrown out like junk.
Lucy will steal your heart with her ears. Last week, Keary was driving to see her grandmother when she came across this little soul on the side of the road. She stopped to inquire and found the owner.
Lucy was no longer wanted by the owner, and she was thrown away like junk. Her owner and son had intended to take her to the woods and abandon her far away from them. Keary of course, grabbed her.
Lucy was bald, diseased, mange-ridden, and malnourished. She's about ten years old, and she's adorable. Those ears, man! It's already getting better. After a bath and skin treatment, she spent the night with the vet. All of her blood tests came back negative! She is now in the care of Barking Mad Dog Rescue, and she has a long road ahead of her!
Domestic violence and animal maltreatment are intimately linked. Abusers frequently manipulate and control victims' pets and cats.
A companion animal may act as a lone confidant for an abused woman or child in an abusive home, and an abuser might take advantage of the victim's care for his or her animal by abusing the animal.
To prevent children and partners from reporting abuse or fleeing, abusers may threaten or harm animals in front of them. An abuser sends the message that a human victim could be next by harming the animals.
When a pet is abused, it sets off a chain reaction in our community. Not only is an innocent animal wounded, but the individual who commits the crime frequently enters a cycle that leads to violence towards other humans.
The evidence for a relationship between animal cruelty and human aggression is clear. Animal abusers are five times more likely than non-abusers to conduct violent crimes.
Animal abuse, like most forms of abuse, is about exerting authority and control over a vulnerable victim. We safeguard animals and may expose and possibly prevent additional crimes by taking action against animal cruelty.
