tendencies and should be taken very seriously.

If you suspect that an animal has been abused, the most important action you can take is to report the cruelty to your local law enforcement, ASPCA, or Animal Cruelty Investigators. If you witness animal cruelty in progress, CALL 911. Animal cruelty is a CRIME, and the police dispatcher will be able to determine which department should respond. Do NOT attempt to deal with the crime yourself. The authorities are there to help you, and the sooner they are involved, the better.

Repeat offenses of animal cruelty crimes are a rule, not an exception - and there are many times when an investigation into an animal cruelty crime uncovers human-related crimes as well. When officers go to the home to investigate an animal cruelty issues, they often find evidence of domestic abuse, child neglect, drugs and other dangerous situations. Reporting animal cruelty could even save a human life.

The Pet-Abuse.com web site has a wealth of information, from national statistics, to searching their datatbase by national/state/local perimetes for reported cases of abuse... to information on prevention, reporting, and state laws concerning animal abuse.
