This statement truly speaks the truth. Even if an individual does not love or like animals, there is never any reason for him/he to treat an animal in an inhumane manner. Compassion speaks volumes for the character or integrity of an individual, whether it is with an animal or another human being. Animals are helpless and depend on people to take care of them or to ensure that they are placed in a safe and nurturing environment. Dont mistreat or leave them being mistreated. Do something.
