Some people unknowingly subject animals to cruelty through neglect and improper care of their pets. They may keep dogs in inadequate shelters exposed to the elements, leave them chained for long periods, or use harsh discipline methods without understanding the harm caused. Some animal hoarders take in more pets than they can properly house or care for, unintentionally creating unhealthy and unsafe conditions. However, animal cruelty will not be stopped with money alone but requires motivating people to recognize and change inhumane behaviors.
