I agree completely with Jessica. There is nothing sadder than seeing a animal that has been severely beaten die right in front of you. I would probably start crying if I was in the same situation as Jessica was. Next time anyone hears about a cruelty happening or know someone is beating their animals you should call for help as Jessica said because they think just like we do. I’m proud of this article choice because it gives such a strong message with a short amount of words.

I love this article by Jessica. It is so sad yet so true. When you hear about dog fighting or other types of animal cruelty you kind of disregard it because you don’t think it happens that often. It does, there are many animals going through it and they are even more helpless then us, they can’t speak up for themselves like we can. The only way they can be helped is if we do something about it.
