Animal cruelty and neglect is a big problem everywhere. In this episode we talk with two members of the Oklahoma Alliance for Animals about the issue in Oklahoma. Just about every weekend they respond to calls fo alleged abuse. They show us several recent and graphic examples, including one where 84 filthy and emaciated dogs were found. One of the little dogs was so matted, you could barely tell he was a dog. It’s a heart-wrenching story that made the news all over Oklahoma. We update what happened to this dog, as well as the other 83.The OAA responded to another disturbing case that made the news. Many plastic bags of dog bodies were found along a rural Oklahoma road. Also, a Ring camera captures a dog owner repeatedly kicking his dog just outside an apartment door.Why do people abuse animals? What’s the penalty for such cruelty? Do neglected animals feel pain and loneliness? What are animal advocates doing to educate the public? What can you do to help these poor animals? We address all of this, so ………… Let’s talk!
