Animal Laws In Canada

Animal abuse is a growing but preventable problem that occurs every day. There are many different types of animal abuse. One example is when the person intentionally harms the animal and the other example is when the person just can't meet the animal’s needs. There is a law on how many animals a person can own but not everyone can afford to get their animal fixed and when they multiply it gets out of control. There are many laws against animal abuse but since animal abuse is not considered a violent crime people do not care about the consequences. Animals are not considered as valuable as humans which is why the topic is brushed off ,but statistics show that a percentage of animal abusers also abuse people around them.There are states trying

“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated” (Mahatma Gandhi). People get away with animal abuse everyday. Helpless animals are being abused and nobody's doing anything about it. Millions of pets are dying in the hands of their owners. When someone abuses a human, they are punished.

Imagine someone has just moved to a different town and the townspeople decide that the person that just came to town is a threat, so the town creates rules that say the new person is not allowed to do certain things or go to certain places. This is how I suspect the following dog breeds feel nowadays: Pit Bull, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Jack Russell Terrier, Spaniel, Collie, Saint Bernard, and Labrador Retriever. I feel strongly for our furry friends and when I found out about this legislation I wanted it shut down completely. Dog Breed Specific Legislation is a problem that not many people know that and I wanted to make it known to hopefully help stop

According to the “Universal Declaration of the Rights of Animals” written by the International League of the Rights of Animals in September of 1977 animals have similar right to those of humans. Animals have a right to live with respect and shall not be killed without reason. They shall not be denied the right to reproduce, or have the freedom of living in their natural habitat (Opposing Viewpoints 20). Activism in animal rights first began in the late 1960s because a documentary from Canada showed baby seals being beat to death with clubs was shown across the world. When people saw the documentary, they were outraged and started a massive animal-rights movement, which is now targeting factory farms (“Key Issue: Animal Rights” 1).

Rather, it is the dog owners who should take full responsibility for their dog’s actions and by having breed-specific legislation take effect in the law, it causes awareness that prosecution is possible and causes owners to take regulations and follow rules in order to reduce detriment in their society and should be followed at all costs. Strongly enforced dog control laws such as leash laws, generic guidelines for dealing with dangerous dogs and increased public education efforts to promote responsible dog ownership are all positive ways to protect communities from aggressive

Sadly, it is estimated that about “16,000 dogs [are] killed each year in organized dog fights and that number continues to grow,” according to the stop dog fighting organization. Not to mention, it’s also “not unusual to see $20,000-30,000 change hands during a single fight" (“What Is Dog Fighting, and What Can You Do To Stop It?”), but the price to pay is even higher because the penalty if you are caught is a $250,000 fine and three-year imprisonment. Dog fighting is a brutal illegal sport that not only harms the dogs themselves but also the people involved, and can be prevented by spreading awareness and taking action.

Animals are being treated without any compassion, scientist are treating them like they are some toys for the enjoyment of many individuals. One of the tests being carried out on animals is to force animals to inhale or eat cosmetic ingredients and if they do not die from the experiment then they are killed. Murder is against the law; it should not be excused simply because of the species being killed. Theoretically speaking if the role were to switch and it was humans that were tested, people would feel outraged and would be resentful towards

Animal cruelty laws have to be changed. They are not straightforward or strict at all, animal abuse is at a higher percentage because people know they will and can get away with it. If the Government could just make these laws a little more strict, then we would not have so much violence towards animals. They are mistreated for the pleasure of a different species, humans. Which is horrible in every way, shape, and form. If citizens of the world want peace on earth and less violence than they need to start with the smaller things, like this, then that would slowly but surely get us to less violence. It could make a huge change in the world if people took a stand for making animal cruelty laws less strict.

First the idea of dog fighting is wrong in the first place but Coren puts it into more detail on what really goes on inside of these dog fights. People bet on these dogs lives making them fight until one dies and if the both dogs live the owner of the losing dog has the choice to kill it and dogs do not deserve this type of treatment. A man’s best friend is fighting for its own life in a place where it has no choice but to fight and they did nothing to deserve any of it. In the article it explains how although dog fighting is illegal in many countries people still find ways to hold these events around the world and some countries even consider it

Everyone deserves rights whether they are animals or human beings. Each organism deserves respect and should be treated humanely. Although some were not given the choice to have rights, the domineering figure overlooked the decisions for the inferior. For instance, many humans own pets and treat their pet as a member of their family, therefore want the best for their pet. There is a popular saying that goes, “dogs are a man’s best friend”. Pet ownership is a big part of American culture where some people love their pets like children. Unfortunately, obstacles get in the way of a perfect pet life. Animal euthanasia has been used throughout history, but it is controversial because many do not believe it to be ethical, which can become expensive

Dog fighting is a huge part of animal abuse. We generally think of individual people, or families that abuse their dogs, but dog fighting is also a large part of the issue. “The shocking number of animal cruelty cases reported every day is just the tip of the iceberg; most cases are never reported.” We need tougher laws against

There is been many crimes about dog fighting around the United States. Till this day there has been cases about dog fighting occurring. People aren’t really getting the whole “Dog fighting is a felony.” It’s sick at heart when we see animals lying on the ground breathing heavily because of what they just went through. Dogfighting is cruel and yet still a problem in the US in 2016.

Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized ( ). Many of those animals were euthanized because they were not being taken care of. In fact, 1.4 million of those animals were dogs. That’s more than half of the total amount! However, many of these dogs weren’t all euthanized because of their lack of an owner. Many actually had owners that loved them very much! Those dogs were euthanized for biting someone. Has a human ever been executed for assault?! Dogs should not be executed for biting because all lives are precious, dogs don’t attack without reason, and they have feelings, just like us.

They are made to be killed. They think even though we use them as pets they are still animals. They’re not humans, we kill them all the time to eat. Despite the cuteness of dogs, they can also be used to do surgery on too. It helps to know what humans can do to help cure illness. The animals are made to be treated Like that. They say “it’s not cruel as it looks”. Human veterinary Education says that they learned that veterinary schools and veterinary – technology programs often expect their students to perform painful and medically unnecessary procedures on live animals. Most people say they think the schools should do

“Before their deaths, some are forced to inhale toxic fumes, others are immobilized in restraint devices for hours, some have holes drilled into their skulls, and others have their skin burned off or their spinal cords crushed.” (PETA association, 2014) For many years, people have been killing animals to perform tests on them. This needs to stop, humans are abusing animals by conducting harmful experiments on the animals. The abuse and testing can lead to death of the animal. These animals are all suffering from exploitation through cosmetic testing, medical training, and chemical/drug testing.
