How often have you scrolled through the posts on your Facebook page and found an entry about animal suffering? I see these types of posts frequently because of my extensive network of animal friends – linked together by Facebook. My initial response is still to skip over these posts, yet I force myself to stop – once again to be confronted by another despicable display of animal mistreatment. A story that screams, “You owe it to the animals to pay attention!” Even glimpses of the often-gruesome photos that entice you to read the story leave their mark – an indelible image imprinted in my mind.
The mission of SPCA International is simple but vast: to advance the safety and well-being of animals.
