Reply #22: and, in this case I am sure she is poor, uneducated and underprivileged

[peacebuzzard]

however, outrage needs to be expressed for the anti-cruelty regulations to be leveraged and to become an education and exposure for the predominately poor and the underprivileged....

I agree, that the reporter for article in question obtained his references from a weekly publication in that particular community. I have no credence in the majority of facts produced by the media.

I do believe that this particular circumstance occurs (abuse of animals) with a much larger frequency than ever reaches our eyes.

It is an outrage, nonetheless. Unfortunately, it occurs. And the public instances must serve an an example. This kind of abuse cannot be tolerated.

The rich and powerful can hide abuses and get better legal help, but not always succeed.

The poor will dominate in the penal system, I have no doubt.

But the fact remains that the anti-cruelty laws needs to be extended to the animals who have no defense.

Thank you for your insightful input.
