ATTENTION:
All prospective
adopters will have to meet certain criteria and be approved for
adoption of a pet. When you apply for adoption we will check
out your facilities for keeping a pet. If you live out in the
county, we will have the Sheriff's Dept. check your facility.
We are doing this in all cases in an effort to make sure all pets
are going to a good home. I am sure the public appreciates
this. Thanks, Lucille

What is the Humane Society of the United
States all about??? I have been to numerous seminars
and they all lead back to the origin of the HSUS, which
was to save a child! For years HSUS has preached about
their “First Strike” Campaign, which is to get to the
child first. If the children are safe and grow up in a
loving home, the animals will be ok.
Please do Your part in protecting
children and animals. Thank you! Lucille
Taken from “A Common Bond” by
the American Humane Society. --
Strong consensus now exists among
researchers and policymakers that child neglect and
abuse, spousal abuse, elder abuse—and now animal
abuse—are all elements of a family violence system.
Perpetrators of violence seldom limit themselves to
victimizing only one member of the family.
Animals may be used by perpetrators
to coerce children into silence. The threat of animal
abuse to silence child sex abuse victims has been a
factor in a number of criminal convictions. Courts have
affirmed child sex abuse convictions noting that the
defendant had threatened, as well as actually killed,
animals in front of the child victims.
Children who abuse animals are much
more likely to have been treated violently within their
families. They also have higher frequencies of sexual
victimization and higher rates of sexual offenses
against peers.
If
you or a member of your family are victims of abuse, or
if your family pet is the victim, please contact your
local law enforcement, DHR, Harriett House or Demopolis
Animal Control. We can all help point you or your loved
one in the right direction for help.
