This is from the ASPCA newsletter:

 

* If you witness or hear about animal cruelty taking place--examples include stories of neighborhood children torturing cats, blood sports such as cock fighting and dog fighting, and companion animals being denied food, water, shelter and veterinary care--report it to your local humane organization or call your local police. Visit our website to find a Humane Law Enforcement Agency near you.

* Interested in taking a more active part in passing humane laws? Check out the ASPCA Advocacy Center, where you can send personal letters to your state and federal officials, urging them to support animal-friendly legislation.

* Teach your children well--by making sure that schools in your town include humane education as part of the curriculum. Contact education@aspca.org or visit ASPCA Humane Education online for classroom resources.

* Shelter professionals, help us promote Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month and check out our downloadable materials at ASPCA.org.

The Morgan County Humane Society provides animal control services for Morgan County. If you suspect that an animal is not being properly cared for or is being abused contact the shelter immediately at 765-349-9177.

Tips on reporting abuse or neglect:

  1. Get the address/location of animal.
  2. Get proper description of animal.
  3. Never approach an injured pet. Injured pets can and will bite.
