             Don't leave them, they'll never do it

Increasingly understands that domestic animal

considered an maltreatment and on the street,

 animals can't care for themselves because they

 are used to being fed and have the protection of

 their health.The relationship between the humans 

and the dogs is millinery, and are the dogs who

 have given fidelity and affection for the man many

 times, However, have been treated them as objects.

 The abandonment in the world is really alarming,

 the (OIE) was calculated more or less 400 million

abandoned dogs. Luckily most abandoned animals

 in Spain are collected by animals protections or

 municipalities. It could be said that the grounds

 on what you have been abandoned are:

 Lack of interest in the animal, the emergence

 of one child... 

In my opinion animal abuse is one of the most cruel barbarities made was humans over the years for not respecting not only the species for this animals and  destroy the habitat of many others, 

so should be taken measures and each help as we can to

 returning to a past that reality.
