Glenn Kriczky says animal cruelty and abuse is a rampant problem in the world and here in the US. Many times animal welfare is ignored, because of either ignorance or that people are just too being far caught up in there own lives to act. The problem is everywhere, even in our communities; dozens of animals suffer needlessly each day. He says that much of this ignorance is due to a lack of funding and policy for the public education of animal rights.

People's view of abuse varies, and prior to modern biology revealing similarities between humans and animals, some thinkers considered animals to be void of feeling. For instance, René Descartes thought that animals were just complex machines that had no soul, mind, or reason. Now, because of close research we know that many human attributes such as language, tool use, and self-consciousness can be found in some animals. When Charles Darwin presented the theory of evolution, it revolutionized the way that humans viewed their relationship with animals. Darwin believed that not only were human beings and animals connected, but that they also shared social, mental and moral codes as well.

Many people now hold the position that because animals have the ability to feel pain as humans do, their suffering and well being should be given equal consideration. Unfortunately there are still many that take the utilitarianism view says Glenn Kriczky. This group feels that animals are simply here for our use and pleasure, and their needs should be well below our own. Glenn is working to change this attitude within our culture both here in America and abroad. He works with many non-profits on fund-raising and providing education to the public. He feels that people really do have the power to make changes. He says that all animals should be respected and treated right, as they are an integral part of our existence. He and his family always try to adopt their pets from rescue groups as a way of helping take care of animals that would probably face certain death.
