Reporting Animal Abuse

Speak Up for Animals in Need

Animals can’t ask for help — but you can.

If you suspect an animal is being abused, neglected, or living in unsafe conditions, it’s important to report it. Your action could save a life.

What to Look For

Animal abuse isn’t always obvious. It can include:

• Lack of food, water, or shelter

• Untreated injuries or illness

• Poor or unsafe living conditions

• Signs of cruelty or abandonment

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts.
