movimiento con un ojo; en la segunda visita, ella se incorporó. Algunos días más adelante, ella meneó su cola cuando dije su nombre, y la próxima vez que ella me demostró su vientre. Cuando me fui después de la visita siguiente con dos de mis otros perros en puntadas, ella habló. Ella ahora está fuera de su collar Elizabeth y cuando la levanté de la jaula para abrazar la, conseguí mi primer beso. Algún día cuando ella está bastante bien, ella encontrará un buen hogar como tener sobre 75 D.A.W.G. rescata en los dieciocho meses pasados. Vi Angel y no di vuelta a un ojo oculto; Angel estaba oculto y ahora ella puede ver.
I was blind but now I see
No hay excusa para la ceguera a esta causa. Usted puede ayudar ayudando a otros para ver. Sé que los tiempos son resistentes; Estoy financiando D.A.W.G. fuera de mi propio bolsillo. Es quizá un pedacito más caritativo dar cuando es más difícil. Pero si usted no puede dar el dinero, usted puede ayudarnos a educar. No hay excusa para lanzar lejos un bolso de perritos o ahogarlos o sacar los cuellos de gatitos. Estamos aquí ayudar pero necesitamos su ayuda. Haga a sus vecinos enterados que hay una alternativa a este comportamiento. Anímelos y ayude a castrar sus animales. Divulgue el abuso o descuíde a mí. ¿Puede usted fomentar un animal mientras que proporcionamos el alimento y la medicina? ¿Puede usted trabajar en la biblioteca las horas de un par a la semana o al mes para ayudarnos levantó fondos? ¿Puede usted pedir que su veterinario en su país de orígen contribuya?
There are few laws protecting animals in Costa Rica and they are ineffectual. If we cannot incarcerate a human for crimes against other humans in full view of witnesses when there are laws, I am not deluding myself that we can correct animal abuse with laws. The laws in the U.S.A. are some of the most punitive in the world, yet abuse still continues. There are laws against abuse, cruelty, serious injury or death, killing, maiming, disfigurement, intentional neglect, malicious torture, neglect of owner’s duties, abuse of a service animal and animal fighting. Forty-one states plus the District of Columbia have felony provisions for animal cruelty. Penalties include fines ranging from $1,000 to $150,000 (no, I didn’t add a zero), prison sentences ranging from 90 days to 5 years, and a host of other judgments including but not limited to mandatory psychological treatment, community service, and prohibition of animal ownership for 5 to 15 years after the offense. Now I am animal crazy

I take issue with those who use scare tactics and blood-curdling photos and stories to try to guilt people into helping a cause. So before you read further, let me say that this is not my intention in this month’s article, although I must confess to being angry and frustrated with the continued animal abuse that I encounter almost daily. Additionally, I did not come to this country to inflict upon its people North American behaviors or attitudes; I would have stayed there if that were so.
and actually don’t have a problem with these laws; I can think of a few others I could easily accept. But, as I said at the top of this piece, I am not here to inflict my nationality’s behaviors on the people of Costa Rica. We can only work to make the blind see and accept their responsibilities toward these innocent creatures. I firmly believe that the way any society treats its domesticated animals is a direct reflection of its cultural and moral development and I do not believe that we who live here are Neanderthals. Humans are responsible for the well-being of these creatures because we domesticated them; we tamed them and trained them and bred them to be our servants and companions. We owe them safety, care, comfort and love; they ask for nothing. In the six years that I have been affiliated with D.A.W.G., I have only had to make the decision one time to euthanize an animal. I will not give you the gory details; only say that someone left a cat behind one of our clinics that the attending veterinarian said was in the worst condition he had ever seen an animal in that was still alive. It tore my heart out. Who committed this despicable crime against this helpless creature we will never know. Thank you to the person who placed him where we could end his suffering. The reason I have only had to euthanize this one is not because those we rescue are never ill; it is because we do everything possible to help them regain their health and live the comfortable life that we humans owe them. Because we are not blind to their suffering.
