Compassion lost amid deaths of children, animals

The headlines of children and animals beaten and killed are way too many. It's so disheartening to read these stories day after day. What has become of our humanity? Where has our love and compassion gone? What can we do to help the ones doing the beating and killing?

The message is if you are unable or unwilling to take care of a child or pet, find a loving home! There are many loving homes out there that would love to care for your child if a family member cannot. There are many loving homes or animal shelters that can care for your pet.

Please, reason with your heart. Do no harm to God's living creatures. Children and pets love unconditionally; save their lives, and find them good homes.
