As I sit here after my birthday (and Labor Day) weekend, reading over the tasks I need to complete on my blog, I wonder what picture I want to post and more importantly a topic that I’m passionate about. I immediately decide on a picture of my dog, Sebastian (see above). He is a Norwegian Elk Hound and is going on 12 years old this November. When looking at the picture of Fat Bass (my nickname for Sebastian because he’s a little chubby), I think back to a direct quote I said not even 5 hours ago while walking on the beach – “Anyone who can beat an animal must not understand the concept of love.”
I truly wonder how a person can buy an animal for the use of fighting, beating, or to simply not take care of it. How many of you reading this has a pet of some kind? Whether it be a dog, cat, bird, rabbit, mouse, pet rock, pig… anything. Could you ever imagine not feeding it? What about taking your anger out on it by hitting or kicking it? I hope not.
How many times have you seen Sarah McLachlan’s commercial supporting the British Colombia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (http://www.spca.bc.ca/)? And how many times have you teared up? I do almost every single time – even just now finding the commercial on YouTube. This is wonderful organization that helps save animals who have been subjected to abuse. Anyone can help the cause by volunteering, donating money, or adopting an abused animal.
