The document discusses the issue of animal cruelty and argues for raising awareness to address it. It provides several reasons for doing so: animals are often mistreated and killed without cause; if the problem is not addressed soon, mistreatment of pets will continue and even be seen as normal; current laws are insufficient to prevent cruelty and punish offenders; and more people need to report instances of abuse in order for laws to improve and abusive behaviors to decrease. The document aims to get people to recognize that animals experience emotions like humans and should not be taken for granted or mistreated. It calls on readers to take action against cruelty by reporting abuse and advocating for stronger laws.
