Cruelty to animals is evil in any country but do the people who complain about Spain realise how much cruelty goes on in this country, where we are supposed to be animal lovers.

Only a few days ago on the news, an aviary had been broken into and the birds killed. Just watch the Pet Rescue on TV to see how animals are tortured over weeks and months.

The RSPCA says the number of cruelty cases goes up every year. So please, can a little charity begin at home for these animals?
