I have a real problem with individuals who are irresponsible when it comes to taking care of their animals... I get emotionally involved when they don't provide the basic essentials under their care such as food, water, and shelter...  I have called out so many people when I come across this situation. The first thing they say to me (It's none of my business!) Well, it is my business, especially when I see it first hand... I simply call it getting involved in my local community! Doing my part and being a proud member of the ASPCA... I have been threaten, cussed out and even chased by two angry full figured women in and around the gas pumps at a gas station  in Washington D.C. This all happened one day when I came across a golden retriever locked inside a HOT vehicle on an August summer day. I went into the store and found the owners sitting down at a table enjoying a nice cool slushy and eating a hot dog in the AC. Again, this was on a very HOT summer day and I simply asked them to come back outside to let the windows down because their poor dog was under HEAT STRESS due to being locked up inside the vehicle and the window was only cracked about 1/2 inch... I was immediatley met with hostility from both of them. They jumped up and proceeded to chase me out of the store... What a mess that was! I had to get the local police involved because they had threaten to shoot and kill me right there on the spot...  Again, this has happen so many times and I won't stop getting involved just because they think it's none of my business... I don't mind standing up to these irresponsible owners no matter what kind of resistance I'm faced with... Remember, the animal can't speak on it's own behalf... Please take care of your animals... Again, being a proud member of the ASPCA and I will always be a part of this organization... Please check out this neat WEB SITE www.mydogiscool.com   Thank You...	This is another example of people abusing animals... This poor dog and horse were without food and water for several days when I found them in this situation. Looking at the dogs ears they were bug & tick infested... The horse was starving and abused as well. I had confronted the owners many times with no action on their part... They had no water, trash was piled up with boards and nails and other debris in the way with sharp edges... Again, just left alone and neglected... I had these animals rescued by local authorities after numerous phone calls and persistence on my part! It's not always easy getting animals removed from owners who abuse them. However, you need to document with photo's and don't give up no matter what they say... Remember, you're their voice when it comes to neglect, because the owners lack responsibility when it comes to taking care of their own animals...
