To Whom It May Concern:,
I wish to discuss the unfortunate topic of animal cruelty, a problem occurring both around the world and within Australia. Many more of these incidents should be reported to the police and more action should take place. It is important to engage the public to help prevent animal cruelty. Animal abuse comes in many forms – neglect, senseless violence, sadistic cruelty, ignorance, greed etc. Major causes of animal cruelty come from animal experimentation, entertainment, farming, and hunting. There is no excuse for terrible things which are being done to animals. It is inexcusable for people to assault not only their own pets, but also animals which have merely escaped their owners. Many people believe they can go into the bush or Rainforest and take animals from their natural environment. This is another form of animal cruelty. I strongly recommend the publication of many more articles on animal cruelty in the Weekend Australian Magazine.
