100,000

'There are over 100,000 dogs living in the streets of Puerto Rico. Why? This documentary is an in-depth investigation about the current situation of animal abandonment in the Island territory'
 I watched this 50 minute movie last night about the stray dog problem in Puerto Rico. I was so upset by the state of these poor animals, the lack of government policies dealing with the issue and also I was upset by the fact that I was completely un-informed that anything was happening.
I despise all types of animal cruelty, and although we have cruelty in Australia, we are so lucky we have so many animal refuges where people take it and care for disenfranchised animals, like Brightside Farm Sanctuary
