Dear Baark! I know that we
Bahamians have a long way to go before we treat our animals properly. Most of
us have been told or shown they are dispensable. I find it hard to stand up for
animals rights in a society that so very often does not care enough even about
their own people let alone animals. Can you remind us what is considered animal
abuse, the more we are informed the more we can help?
Signed, One of the few who care.
Dear One of the few
You are not alone! We want you to know that we at Baark! are
seeing more and more Bahamians come forward
with concerns and questions about the animal welfare situation here in
the Bahamas. That being said, we still have a long way to go.
Animal abuse is defined more broadly than just physical
beatings. Animal abuse is defined as: the crime of inflicting physical
pain, suffering or death on an animal, beyond necessity for
normal discipline. It can include neglect that is so monstrous (withholding
food and water) that the animal has suffered, died or been put in imminent
danger of death
Please
remember, any form of animal abuse is unacceptable. Please report abuse of
animals to your local police station.
Thank you
for taking the time to become more informed; it is through caring people like
you that we can make a difference!
Sincerely, Baark!
