Letter to the Editor …

Most of us were raised to be kind to all living creatures. We were taught to respect life.

We were taught to have compassion. Most of us … most of us. In some cases, when a person has been known to be cruel to an animal, that same person is known to be the type who would also display a lack of compassion for people.

Rarely a day goes by that I don’t hear of some animal that has been ‘dumped’ somewhere. Not only is this heartless, but it says a lot about the person/persons who committed the crime. YES! it is a crime in the great state of Texas to illegally dump an animal.
