FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Animals deserve to be treated equal as human beings, they deserve help and friendship from their owners. As Lily states “They are not any less important than others on this earth.”

Lily shares in this article that she has herself experienced seeing the way another individual who has abused an animal “I have not ever abused a animal nor will I ever but I have witnessed it before”, stating she never will do such a hurtful crime to an animal but she will stop to what she has seen.

More than 300,000 thousand animals are killed each year. Animal owners don’t take responsibility for their actions and what they are doing. There are so many ways these animals are being abused as she states “Whether it is they are tortured, burned, shot, stabbed or even worse mutilated”.

There isn’t a fatal reason why and individual should harm an animal their isn’t such an excuse people should have on why and how they did it, she also states that “Animals are usually only attack or harm if you harm them first or they got brought up under a abusive family.”

As the clears down the era no animal abuse should happen at all. That shouldn’t even cross anyone’s mind to do such a thing. Individuals should agree to “All animals deserve a healthy happy life help them get this any way you can.”
