Animal Abuse: Spread The Word + Become Vegetarian

Animal abuse does exist, and should be addressed, tougher laws placed for idiots that starve their animals, and allow them to die a slow and painful death. There have been a few farms in the area here that were raided by animal control for just those things. Does that mean that all farmers do it? Not at all.
PETA started out as a great idea, but now, it's made animal cruelity and abuse a joke. People do need to see the ugly side of things, and see that real abuse does exist but with the truth, not slanted views to serve an agenda.
I'm sure the OP only had the best interests at heart when posting this, and I applaude your efforts, abuse does need to be stopped, just make sure you're supporting the real cause, for the right reasons.
Ok..I'm stepping off the soapbox before someone kicks in out from under me..::
