Report animal neglect and abuse. Contact your local law enforcement and public prosecutor and provide them with your evidence. Ask them to uphold the laws of your state or province by investigating and prosecuting crimes that occur within their jurisdiction. Depending on where you live, the City Attorney, County Attorney, District Attorney or State Attorney is responsible for prosecuting animal cruelty cases. Check with your local government office. Talk to your elected officials (mayor, town council, etc.) and ask them for help. Contact the media and ask that they do a story about the situation; write letters to the editor of newspapers; call local talk radio shows; organize other members of the community to contact the prosecutors's office. The key to preventing cruelty is EDUCATION. Teach children from the earliest age that animals deserve humane treatment and respect. Empower children to feel safe when reporting cruel behavior. Become a volunteer or mentor at your local school ... empathy can be taught. "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." Immanuel Kant, German Philosopher
