Unfortinatly more often then not. People around where I live are very close minded when it comes to animal care. Cats are disposable and dogs are to be chained in the backyard.

I'm often mocked and made fun of because I show dogs and keep the trunk of my car constantly stocked with leashes, collars, dog food, cat food, water, bowls, crates, toys, etc.

The worst case of animal abuse I've ever witnessed was when I was young I saw a man cut open a living dog's belly, remove her unborn pups and leave her to die. I was very young, but remember it vividly. It was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen.
