Social commentary, I guess.

First and foremost, thank you for showing compassion to a living being that was suffering and doing something about it. Unfortunately, animal neglect/abuse/cruelty is much too common in Kentucky and the state has the most lenient laws in the United States for perpetrators of animal cruelty. "Ke...
