In April of 2012, on a spring break day, my sister and I had no clue that this normal-seeming day would turn into a day full of surprise. Maya, my sister, was four years old with blonde hair and eyes as light blue as a clear sky. Many people said her hair was as soft as silk. I, on the other hand, was seven years old with dark brown hair and chocolate eyes. The morning was a typical spring morning near the beach in Santa Cruz, foggy and cold. My mom, dad, sister and I had just approached our…

Animal neglect is disgustingly abundant nowadays simply because people buy an animal from the pet store that they find appealing, maybe even a parent getting his child a simple fish as an “easy” pet to keep. Let’s say they bought a goldfish and just plopped it into a fishbowl, a few years later they lose interest in it and begin to stop feeding it and cleaning its fishbowl. Some people may also buy an exotic animal like a wolf because they’re “cool” they will just end up caging it or restraining…
