The lowly armadillo
I tend to write about pets. Companion animals who are furry or cuddly which you can adopt any any local shelter or rescue.
Wild animals are just as important, perhaps more since they are wild, but most people feel differently about wild critters when compared to domestic ones.
Armadillos have fascinated me since I was a kid, and I love nothing better than to watch them in the cool of an evening, burrowing for food and rifling through a bunch of leaves and bushes, almost blind with their coat of armor to protect them from predators.
Animal cruelty comes in all forms. The man in this story would probably protest loudly if another person kicked or stomped on a puppy's head. It was okay to set his dogs loose on a family though, and then do that to a baby armadillo.
Luckily, he got caught and was charged with animal cruelty. You know, cruelty is cruelty, no matter what living creature it is being inflicted on. You can read the story here.
