Recognizing and reporting animal cruelty is easy once you know what to look for.
Physical signs:
- Are there any open wounds on the animal?
- Is the animal so skinny that you can easily see bones protruding?
- Is the animal limping or having difficulty moving around?
- Does the skin or coat look normal?
- Is the coat matted or preventing the animal from moving around properly?
- Is the animal acting lethargic or not getting up from the ground?
Environmental signs:
- Does the animal have protection from the sun, rain or snow?
- Does the animal have access to food and water?
- Is the animal chained to an object in a manner that jeopardizes health and/or safety?
- Is the animal kept in a crate that is too small for them to maintain normal body postures or confined for too long a period of time?
- Are the animals forced to live in their own waste?
