Letter to the editor | Take better care of pets | Centre Daily Times

Those who own animals and don’t take care of them should be ashamed of themselves.

There are animal shelters across Pennsylvania where animals can be taken for a better life instead of being put in a corner and forgotten.

When you take on the responsibility of owning an animal, it is a lifelong commitment, not until you’re tired of taking care of it.

Pennsylvania needs new laws and stricter punishment.

This world is a better place for the animals we have in our households and maybe one day dog houses will be a thing of the past for animals that don’t belong outside.

This freezing-cold weather is just an example of how heartless people can be.

There are wonderful people out there offering bedding, dog houses, food and water for neglected animals.

Just recently on the news there was a story about a dog that had frozen to death in Curtin Township.

There is no excuse for this.
