LET IT BE KNOWEN THOUGHOUT THE WORLD, THAT EVER SINGLE ANIMAL ABUSER WILL DIE THE MOST LONG AND PAINFUL DEATH AND FOREVER ROT IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!

this story i got from the ASPCA, the american society for prevention of creulty to animals, just today. Astro's story broke my heart. i cryed for nearly 20 minutes. here is his story.

His belly was empty. So empty it hurt. The back would open and shut, and Astro would hope for food. But his abuser never bought any. In fact, he didn't even look at Astro as he came and went. Astro drank out of a puddle near the steak he was cained to. The dirty water keprt him alive, but then the puddle dried up. Astro had only a few days to live.

By the time the neighbor called ASPCA about Astro, the dog was nearly dead. Empowered by the law to investigate cases of cruelty and seize abused animals, the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement Agents entered the backyard. Astro was too weak to bark or even stand up. He was so thin that you could count every single rib on his weak, dehydrated body.

The Agents knelt down, speaking to Astro gently. They didn't want to frighten him so they moved very slowly..... at first they didn't pet him.

Then they saw it. Astro was wagging his tail. He was barely moving, but yes... the poor, sick dog was saying, "Welcome, firends!"

When Astro was brought to the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital by the Agents, he was under 45 pounds, lees then helf what a dog his size should weigh, and had a number of infections brought on by malnutrition and weakness. However, with first-rate medical attention and tender care from ASPCA veterinarians and technicians, he underwent a long, slow recovory.

Astro's abuser was charged with animal creulty. When asked why he had allowed Astro to go without food and water, he admitted that he was deliberately starving the dog to death.

Astro is now up to 95 pounds and living with the wonderful family who adopted him.

Other storys i have heard of about animal cruelty are the swan who was beaten to death as he protected his nest mate, the puppies buried alive in a suburban backyard and the kittens burned on a BBQ grill. These storys r all very true!

STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!
