Animal Cruelty Charity appeal

All cases of cruelty to animals are shocking, but the news that a 6-month-old golden Labrador retriever called Hubby had been brutalized and left to suffer is just disturbing. The dog was discovered with its eyes sealed shut with glue. Its mouth, throat and ears were glued. The puppy's hind legs were broken in several places. It is also suspected that the puppy had been starved. This vile act resulted in the dog being put down by a veterinarian. And if you're reading this letter thinking such cases are so rare, think again.

Dr. Kaman Lentose a local Veterinary Surgeon stated that, "People who can do that to defenseless animals eventually think nothing of hurting a child or another person." That's why police shouldn't take such animal abuse cases lightly. The metropolitan police are now being informed on every animal cruelty case and have set up a group of qualified police officers to deal with the animal abusers! These people will be severely punished!

Your assistance is urgently needed to combat animal cruelty such as Hubby's case. You are urgently asked to pay just two pounds a month towards the R.S.P.C.A to stamp out cruel crimes including:

* Cruelly beating, mutilating, or intentionally killing an animal.

* Unjustifiably administering any poisonous drugs or substances to any domestic animal

* Extreme deprivation of minimum care that causes critical physical or mental injury to any living animal.

The RSPCA is a registered charity and receives no State or lottery funding. We rely totally on voluntary donations and help from people like you to undertake our vital welfare work.

Here are a few examples of what your donation could do:

* £5 could feed a cat for a week

* £10 could safely board a cruelty case horse for a day

* £25 could kit out an inspector with hard hat, boots and life jacket

* £50 could help equip an inspector's van with an animal first-aid kit, pet carrier and animal catching set

Please make cruelty to animals the serious crime it is.

Yours Sincerely, Lauren Brindley (Manager of Head Office)
