4 Love of Animals supports a chain-free community. Animals continuously tied out typically become forgotten and neglected. Animal neglect happens when an owner fails to provide basic necessities, such as food, water, shelter, veterinary care, exercise and socialization.
Animal neglect takes place over longer periods of time than other more immediate violent acts. But, victims of animal neglect suffer more severely because their suffering is prolonged.
Neglect can end in death or permanent physical or psychological damage. Nationally, animal control officers cite animal neglect as the most common reason they are called to a home.
