Animal cruelty is a very sad and depressing issue in our world today.  People gets dogs for protection who really don’t care about the love and companionship a pet can bring. In our permissive society not much can be done except tougher laws and more than one animal control person for two islands. We that care can only do our best to watch out for animals that need help.

Then there are people having babies but who really don’t care about children. They are only an unwanted after effect of sex or to have someone to molest, torture, etc. I am probably in the minority but I believe the violence in movies, video games, TV and about everywhere around us creates an atmosphere or mindset of war, hate, bullying, meanness and a “breakdown” of our society.  Makes me wonder if we really want to set up our type of society in other countries?
