Animal Torture And Laws Against Animal Abuse

Animal Cruelty is a problem that many ignore. People are oblivious to these animals and the negligence their owners show. Animal cruelty is an underlying problem in today’s society, and the only way to counteract these problems, is for this generation to do something about it.

1. ATTENTION GETTER: Millions of animals are abused each year. Over a million of these animals are abused or killed just due to the involvement with domestic violence. Despite animal cruelty being a felony which can result in jail time for over 15 years and 500,000 dollars in fines, it is still an issue which occurs on a daily basis across the United States. It is important for these animals to not go unnoticed, which can be achieved if society became more enlightened and educated on the topic of animal cruelty. (Pacelle, 2011).

imal abuse has been an issue since the 12th century when dogs and cats were commonly found roaming the streets. Today it has become an ever growing issue which ranges from household pets to farm animals such as cows, chickens, horses. Animal abuse also is not just in America, such as bullfighting in Spain which began many centuries ago as a sacrifice to the gods. Is still practiced today as a form of entertainment. This kind of behavior does not seem right in our everyday life and just seems wrong because animals should be treated with kindness and not hatred.

Increased awareness regarding animal cruelty would benefit society, pet owners, and animals themselves. When a problem is identified, it becomes easier to work out solutions.

Animals are being mistreated by people not giving the right amount of food, water or housing, which is causing the animals to dehydrate or starve. Animals are also being mistreated by humans committing violence toward them. Some people leave their animals outside all winter long without proper shelter for them. Some even leave their animals in the 100 degree weather without fresh water every day or a shelter to be under when it’s too hot outside. That’s a sign of neglect because the animal is suffering from heat exhaustion.

The most often reported cases of animal abuse happen to be to dogs, cats, horses and livestock. Back in 2011, 1,423 cases of animal abuse were reported, including: 70.1% involving dogs, 20.9% involving cats, and 24.1% involving other animals. Undercover investigations reveal that abuse most often happens in the factory farm industry. Due to the weak protections afforded to livestock under state cruelty laws, only the most shocking cases are reported. Few of these cases are ever prosecuted.

According to PAWS, animal cruelty is when someone injures an animal, which can be your own pet, or an animal that you come across. Animal cruelty can also be when you don’t commit to full responsibility. For example, when you don’t provide food or water for your pet, this is animal cruelty. In Statistic Brain, neglect is one of the most common ways of animal abuse, with 32%.

Unfortunately today there are many cases of animal abuse happening around the world. Animal cruelty or animal abuse can be defined as the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. There are many different types of abuse such as using animals for research, using animals for entertainment purposes, abandoning animals to shelters, and animal neglect.

Animal cruelty laws need to be more strict. Animals are getting abused and killed for no reason everyday, and none of the people who abuse the animals are getting charged with animal cruelty or going to jail. If the government doesn’t make animal cruelty laws more strict than the people who abuse these animals could take it to the next level and start abusing humans and/or murdering them.
