How Is Animal Being Abused

Animal abuse is a quiet epidemic that is spreading throughout the world. The amount of animal abuse is growing and we must do something to stop it. Animal abuse is not putting a choke collar on a dog to keep it from biting an individual; it is not killing an animal for food. Animal abuse is the knowing or intentional "(1) tortures or serious overworks [of] an animal"; the "(2) failing unreasonably to provide necessary food, care, or shelter for an animal in his custody; kills, injures, or administers poison to an animal; [or] (6) causes one animal to fight with another" (Title 3). The majority of states in the U.S. classify abusive treatment toward animals as a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is punished by a fine of

Thesis Statement: Imagine a dog running to fetch a toy, A horse galloping on a trail, or even a heard of cows grazing upon a grassy pasture. These same beloved animals could be suffering an unimaginable fate in some of the world concentration camps that are still standing. Only nowadays they are known to the outside world as slaughterhouses, fur farms, or experimentation centers.

What is animal abuse? For starters, animal abuse is when a person inflicts suffering or harm on any animal. Most people, all over the world own an animal; but there are still far more animals left out on the street. Homeless animals are either left out on the streets or are “thrown” into shelters. This became a problem because not all animals are domesticated. Animal shelters began as pounds. “When the system began to be used to impound wandering dogs and cats, these animals were often killed because little monetary value was placed on them” (Lila Miller, Animal sheltering in the United States: Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, 1) . This issue persists because shelter workers and others truly believe that an animal life has no value, but that is not true; animals are living beings just like humans with brains, hearts, and bones. A reported case was that “authorities had seized 23 puppies, 11 cats, and four adult dogs from a self-processed animal “rescue” after they were found in the “rescuer’s” filthy home.” (‘No-Kill’ Label Slowly Killing Animals, 3). This means that an unauthorized person hoarded many animals and forced the animals into an unsafe “shelter”. The shelter being a dirty home.

In America, we come across serious environmental issues about poverty, domestic abuse, ending world hunger ect. Animal cruelty isn’t one of those topics that isn’t being put out there more. We see it all around like the commercials on tv that tell you to donate money to help the poor stray dogs. People don’t see how much damage we can cause to them, but if we got together we can help stop this madness. In the article, Counting cruelty: Challenges and opportunities in assessing animal abuse and neglect in America it briefly says “Cruelty to animals is a crime.” (Lockwood 87). Laws were made for this problem way back. Our laws help keep society in a proper place with no hysteria.Which means people like us should pay attention more to our surroundings.

Heartless is too kind a word to describe the cruel owner who abandoned a litter of puppies at a Corsicana, Texas car wash.

I believe animal abuse is wrong why you ask it's wrong it's wrong because over 1,828 animals die each year because of animal cruelty it's terrible and is wrong and unfair it's unfair because animals are not as strong as humans they can't even speak up for themselves or defend themselves and the most common animal to abuse is dogs and it's unfair because they won't be able to defend themselves. Some animals are abused by being chained up all day like elephants are sometimes chained up 23 out of 24 hours a day to the time there babies to the time they're adults or maybe until they die I believe this is wrong because i would hate to be chained up all of my life.You can get

The addiction drug of power can be good and controlled in small doses, but given to one person all at once and without limits can lead to overdose, which is harmful not only to the people within the society, but to the leader as well. In the intriguing, satirical novella, Animal Farm, by George Orwell, the leadership of a revolution turns from it’s all about the people, to a dystopian Stalinist society where power is controlled under one person and one person only, usually with the help of a strong military force. During the overthrow of the farm, led by Napoleon, their new society slowly turns into a funnel to feed his greed for power.

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.

Pam was looking at an ad on Craigslist and she saw a friend that she recognized, a 22-year old mare and her little colt. Pam had met Callie a few years back but saw the tumor hanging from her vulva. Pam wanted to see the colt and she went and discovered that Callie was not with the same owners and that they had sold her for a “good deal.” The new owners had only bought Callie to use her as a breeder like at a puppy mill but for farm animals. Pam told the new owners that she would take the colt if Callie could come for free. So Pam got the both of them. She immediately took them over to the rescue center for help. When the rescue team saw the tumor on Callie, they took her to emergency surgery to get the one pound mass removed. They tested the mass for cancer and the results came back positive. Callie had cancer, so the vet would keep giving her chemotherapy until the cancer was gone.

“Every year in the U.S., over 25 million animals are used in biomedical experimentation, product and cosmetic testing, and science education. This includes—dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, pigs, sheep, monkeys, chimpanzees, and more”(“Harm and Suffering”). This statement reveals how badly animal abuse is over looked and how many animals are affected, (and these are just of biomedical experimented animals). If people knew more about this abuse, don't you think we could cause the number of abused animals to drop. In order to prevent animal abuse, it is important to understand the mental abuse of animals, the physical abuse of animals, and the volunteer opportunities for animals, so that we can do our part in helping abused animals and preventing

Animal abuse is the act of cruelty and infliction of pain on non-human animals. Dogs are the most common victims of the abuse. How do you feel about people abusing poor, innocent animals? I strongly believe there should be a greater punishment for the crimes committed.The controversy has grown greatly in the last few years with the increase of most abuse cases.

The shocking number of animal abuse cases reported every day is nothing compared to most of those which are never reported. Cases of animal abuse are not compiled by the state or federal agencies such as violent crimes against humans. This makes it much more difficult to calculate how much it actually happens. Information available to us can help us better understand and prevent cases of abuse against animals. They're all special and talented in their own way. Animals should not be shown for games or entertainment.
