Have any ideas on helping the animals on my street??

Question

there is alot of animals on my street that are hungry and stuff...

they have owners, but they are always begging me for food

it just breaks my heart!!!

have any ideas for me to help these poor animals???

Answer 1

If they have owners they're probably getting enough to eat. Just because the animals are begging does not necessarily mean they're starving. These dogs' owners might not appreciate you feeding them double what they need either.

Answer 2

yes phone the r.s.p.c.a anonmously and report the cats,they always come out and check on any animal that is being neglected..if you know who own the cats give them the addresses,they will be visited and either told to feed the cats or they will take them into care.

Answer 3

I wouldn't feed them. If they have owners, then they should be fed. If you feed them, they might become dependent of /you/.

Just remember you are responsible for what you tame.

Answer 4

Ring the SPCA?

Answer 5

how do you kow they are hungry???? Lots of times people think a dog is underweight when it is actually the right weight.  Or they mistake the dog begging for attention (or human food) as hunger.  Not saying thats what you are doing just something to consider.

Personally as an owner I'd be ticked if you started feeding my animlas (which wouldnt' happene they are fenced) or any strays out front (can endanger innocents).  

If you can identify the animals that you think are hungry, then go to the owner with a coupon and complimentry bag of food for their dog... hey this is something I can't use - could you use it?  Talk to them and get to know the story.  Too many times in america we assume things.

If you are occassionally giving away food to neighbors - you will not only be helping their animals if truly hungry but also become at least well known in your neighborhood!
