**Dear Class, **

==** We have a neighbor who keeps his dog outside and on a very short chain. The owner should not keep its pet on a short chain because, the dog can't even move from the painful position. I believe we should focus on animal cruelty for the following reasons. **== **It’s sad seeing pets being treated badly or the owner not feeding them. If we all worked on animal cruelty there would be less dog fighting, animal hunting for their skins and meat,and keeping pets on short chains. It’s not fair that people take all their angry feelings out on animals, and pets. **
 * I think we should work on animal cruelty because every year 100,000 horses are slaughtered for their meat. Every year 250,000 dog fight for their lives, and pets are being killed because their owners did not pick them up from the pound. The Humane Society reports that 300,000 puppies are born in puppy mills every year. If you were an animal would you want to be treated that badly? **
 * For more information on how you can help visit the Humane Society. **
