Subject: Sherri's question about animal abuse.

To quote an Animal Law Expert: "Tying a dog p to a tree so it dies of starvation is plainly cruelty that should be prosecuted."

Often cruelty and neglect goes unreported which only contributes to the problem. Any abuse, cruelty, neglect or animal fighting should be immediately reported to both the Sheriff's office and Animal Control. Ask for a follow up report as it is a crime. Pictures and a log is helpful in prosecution. Take a stand and insist that law enforcement take action as they may be reluctant to get involved. 

The Humane Society of the United States offers a $5,000 reward for the prosecution of a dog fighter. Cockfighting as well. Both are felonies in most states.
