I have volunteered at the local humane society in the past. Have you ever been to one?
I actually have! I am a big advocate against animal cruelty. 
Wonderful, I am too. I can not stand people that harm animals.
I know, me too. It seems that laws seem to differ everywhere. I think it can be a particular problem in the midwest
I travel a lot and I have seen a larger problem in the south that anywhere else in the country. People just leave animals anywhere to fend for them selves.
That is just awful. I have definitely seen some horses in dire situations and reached out to my local chapter
Yes, I have too, it is just sad. There are so many dogs in the shelters that many have to be put down simply because there is no room.
Yes. Thankfully the humane society does a lot of good work and no-kill shelters exist 
Yes, I am thankful for that as well. I will continue to work with my local humane society in my free time.
Me too! Good for you. I hope to adopt a cat very soon. 
I hope you find a good one, there are so many wonderful cats at the humane society.
