Regardless of whether or not you know the individual responsible for posting potential crimes against animals, you can help gather relevant information, report it to us (or your local SPCA or Humane Society), and potentially save an animal from an unsafe situation. We want you, our friends and supporters, to be confident about how to address animal cruelty when you see it scrolling through your Instagram, shared on Twitter, or even popping up in your Facebook news feed. While social media is sometimes abused, it can also be used as a tool for tremendous good when in the right hands. As an organization that maintains an SPCA designation, we know firsthand just how difficult it can be to witness animal cruelty, and we rely on our community to help us identify it when they are able. Sadly, those individuals in our community who commit crimes against animals sometimes share too. So many of us enjoy sharing our experiences on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
