How do you all handle the pain of animal abuse?(graphic)

[Bengalz]

There is no easy way to handle this pain ... I remind myself to be grateful for people like you and all others at PT who love their furkids and provide them with the best they can. I also cherish my friends who are animal lovers and share their experiences with me.

Singularly, we cannot prevent the cruelty that occurs in our world. Together we can embrace the goodness of people who know the difference.

Hugs to you,

Betty

I guess that everyone has their own method, but the one thing I would
not do is let each story get me down to the point of being a sad, quiet
bystander who does nothing BUT cry. I try to let these cases make me more
determined than ever to work to towards an end to animal abuse in any way
I can.

I sleep knowing that when they get to jail they'll get what they deserve! Here in Canada there are rules.. You don't harm a lady, a child or an animal, casue you'll get far worse treatment in jail!

There is no Bubba here in Canada, but there are BIG STRONG MEN in jail!!

It makes me feel good to know that the sickos have to hide in jail in order to avoid a good beating

Ditto what everyone else has said here. Whenever I read or hear (or see ) one of these stories, I may cry and I always go hug my cats and tell them I love them and would never harm them and we say prayers for the animals, owners/guardians and the perpetrators.

It makes me so sick in my stomack, I feel horrible then.....

I wish that person a slow hurtful death!

I hug my own cats and am happy that I saved their lives!!
