Lowcountry Animal Cruelty Crisis | Savannah News

Animal cruelty is spiraling in the Lowcountry, with heartbreaking cases like 100 dogs rescued and 123 found dead — abuse that spanned years — yet South Carolina ranks dead last nationally in animal protection. Shelters are overwhelmed, and without strong laws or enforcement, victims suffer in silence. Advocates are urging local action: tougher tethering rules, weather protections, and early intervention for neglect — before it’s too late. The goal? Prevent cruelty before it escalates, not just punish after the damage is done. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
