The Body Shop & SPCA Support Cruelty Free World

Animals has feelings and emotions too, they are like us. They see, hear, care, love, feel, fear and suffer. There are many things we can do for the voiceless, abused or neglected animals. I am very sad and angry to see the animal abusers are not punished according and there are no strict laws or regulations to protect these animals. Where is justice?
