The veterinarian at Laurel Oaks Animal Hospital in Kingsland, now acting for the kitten, says she sees
animal abuse more often than you might imagine.
This kitten is playful and affectionate, but he has already seen how cruel a place the world can be.
Dr. Julie Clark Blount is the veterinarian treating the kitten now, "I think they were actually kicking him
or throwing him or something of that nature," said Blount, "They had damaged the whole bundle of nerves
that are up in the armpit and control the functioning of the entire leg, and it's not something that would get
better over time."
Blount says they were forced to amputate his front right leg, "It doesn't seem to bother him at all and he
runs and he plays and he loves attention and he's pretty spoiled already, and he's eating like a little pig, and
doing fabulously for us," said Blount.
Doing well, but Blount says other pets out there never survive abuse.
"He's one of the lucky one," she said.
Blount says unless abusers like him are caught and prosecuted, they could go on to bigger and worse
things.
"We with there were more strict laws to protect animals because if they're doing this to pets, then what
would then end up doing to people, or kids, or anything else later on down the road?" wonders Blount.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
