Animal cruelty can come in many different forms, and they aren’t always physical. Here are some signs to watch out for:
• Wounded animals, either with open wounds or scarring. Limping or other difficulties moving around can also be indicative of abuse.
• Animals who are left outside with no shelter from the elements and/or are chained for extensive periods of time.
• Emaciated animals. An emaciated animal has visible bone protrusions, usually around their ribcage or along their spine.
• Hair loss, skin lesions or matted fur.
• Animals who are forced to live in their own excrement.
• Animals who are crated in a space that is too small to move in comfortably or are kept in a crate for extensive periods of time.

Teach Your Children to Be Kind to Animals:
Children who learn to be gentle with animals are more likely to become caring and responsible adults. Here are a few easy ways to teach your children empathy for our furry friends:
• Involve them in pet care responsibilities. Let them help walk the family dog, or feed the family cat.
• Put a bird feeder in your back yard!
• Take your child to your local animal shelter. At the Seattle Humane Society, you and your children can brush, pet, and play with our adoptable cats.
• Volunteer to provide temporary foster care to a pet in need.
