[QUOTE="Star*, post: 304673, member: 4964"] I will say this - I have volunteered for a lot of animal resuces here and up in Ohio where I am from. Now I'm from here - S.C. I've seen things all over the places I've lived everywhere that would just curl your toes. I've been a member of the Humane Society for 38 years. I have no problems speaking out for those who can't speak for themselves [B][U]but[/U][/B] that is [B][U]me[/U][/B]. I'm not anyone else, and I'm not now nor would I ever suggest to anyone - "Go and tap a biker on the shoulder and confront him or anyone else about their abuse." It's dangerous. I DO condone reporting anyone abusing a person, a child, or an animal. No matter where you live geographically - abuse is abuse. You CAN report abuse anonymously. Sadly - our state (South Carolina) is the #1 state in the United States for homicide by domestic violence. Each year our state house has a candle-light vigil where families take cut outs of thier lost family members and place them on the steps of the capitol building to let the people driving by see how many women, men and children have died because of domestic violence. In accordance WITH those stastitics - the people who will abuse ANIMALS first - WILL ABUSE and have a higher chance of ABUSING and possibly KILLING humans. THAT is why it's important to me to report animal abuse. I'm not saying that everyone that doesn't feed or water a dog is going to kill someone - but the facts are facts. People who have little regard for animals have been proven to have little regard for human life. [/QUOTE]
