Cruelty to Animals

Animal Cruelty

I was rather struck by a particular story of animal cruelty in the Shields Gazette, involving a 56 tear old woman and her two dogs living in squalor.
It seems the lady was suffering from severe depression after her husband shot her some years ago and then commited suicide. However, following this, it seems she let her mind become as emaciated as her dog's body.

The important questions to ask in cases like this is;
why do neighbours take so long to notice, offer help and guidance, or notify the relevent authorities? Is this another sign of community spirit and welfare falling apart?

Read the full story here.

Sunderland A.F.C.

I need to express my deep sadness and anxiety over today's loss at the hands of the ten men of Brighton and Hove Albion. Why is it, throughout the course of history, we come close to achieving progress, and then throw it all away with a terrible performance?
