SPCA, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The SPCA came to our school and gave a powerpoint presentation to the sixth grade students. SPCA is the abbreviation for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Okay, do you have pets? If you do, do you take care of them every single day? You might, but not everybody does. Some people even desert their pets because they don't want to clean their cages.

That's the point I am trying to raise. If you bought your pets from a pet shop, you must take care of them and if you don't have the courage to do that, don't buy them. Now, I've told you the point, I am going to tell you what the powerpoint was about. The SPCA presentation was all about pets that have been abandoned or bullied by their owners or by children. Do you know who did it? Actually, children around the world did and it might include you! Many pets are hurt and some of them die because children or adults (but usually children) throw stones at them or pour hot water over them. However, there are some good adults who work at the SPCA and they help the abandoned pets and feed them. If you want to be part of it, please keep read this!!

The best way to help the SPCA is to adopt the pets from them and don't buy pets from a pet shop. They need a home and an owner. Do you know what happens if people don't adopt the pets? Actually, let me tell you this first. Every year almost 1,000 abandoned pets come to the SPCA but people only adopt approximately 250 pets in a year. Okay, that's the point. What about the other 750? The SPCA have to put them to sleep because they don't have enough spaces. They have no choice but to put them to sleep. Even if you can't adopt an animal, you can donate old towels, toys, etc. If you donate money, it's still okay because they need money to take care of the animals. You can also report the owner of the tortured animals. Animals have a soul and feelings just like humans!
