Hr 469 Letter To Animal Welfare

For many years there has been an ongoing debate on whether or not animals should be given rights, even there own bill of rights. Some who are against the animal bill of rights argue that testing products on animals is important to the safety of humans. Others who want the new bill of rights claim that animals have feelings and that science is treating them inhumanely. Animal activists also add that animals are intelligent beings and are aware of how they are treated. Based on science proving animal activists correct on many of their points, this calls for a new bill of rights, in the United States, especially written for the protection and care of wild and domestic animals.

More and more puppy mills are springing up all over the nation, and it’s a nightmare. There have been no laws passed by the United States government recently in regards to successfully regulate the mills. Although attempts have been made, The Animal Welfare Act was passed in 1966, but in most states this law is not

The Animal Bill of Rights is meant to protect animals that don’t have legal protection. There are laws that protect some of the animals, but are often insufficient and full of loopholes. In this society we have many people who think the total opposite of defending the animals. It may be because of selfish thinking. Sometimes one might think, it is needed for them to survive or because they want to be able to show their children the animals in person at zoos. Now, the question is, if animals need a Bill of Rights? I strongly believe that they do need a Bill of Rights because there are animals on the day-to-day basis that are being mistreated and abused by humans that don’t care for them. We need the Bill of Rights because it will give a better voice to the animals being treated as if they were nothing in this world. I agree with what the source indicated “ Animals in the U.S. are considered just “property” by law, even though they are living, feeling beings”. If they were not considered “property” humans wouldn’t be harming these animals and would rather be caring or not giving them much attention if they aren’t an animal enthusiast.

According to Gallup.com a third of Americans want animals to have the same rights as people. The Animal Bill of Right implies that animals have the right to be free from exploitation and cruelty, It also prohibits laboratory animals to be used for research. Animals will also have healthy diets and medical care. It will also provide them with an environment that satisfies their needs. I do not believe we need a Bill of Rights for animals. This would not only be extreme but it will affect human culture, medical research, and cost of food

So we should treat all dogs like they are our best friends. We shouldn’t allow the abuse of dogs in puppy mills in our country. Dogs in puppy mills are physically and mentally abused on a daily basis in puppy mills. Confining humans into small rooms in which the sit in their urine and feces is abuse and illegal. It can land someone in prison for years. Confining dogs in small cages in which they sit in their own feces is abuse and is illegal in some states. Unfortunately, it can only land the breeder with a fine and the breeder can continue to abuse the dogs. There aren’t any stories about women being forced to have babies back to back until they can’t produce anymore and then they are either killed or left for dead. There aren’t any stories on this because it’s slavery and is illegal. Swap out the women in this story and put in female dogs. It’s now no longer considered slavery and is legal. The United states allows puppy mills to still stand tall in our country. It is shameful that these inhumane puppy mills get away with so much abuse. The USDA has implemented laws against puppy mills but don’t enforce the laws with stronger consequences. So puppy mills just pay fines on abusing their dogs. The fact that the laws don’t help shows that we need a bigger solution. The United States needs to ban puppy mills for the abuse they inflicted on dogs. All dogs deserve to have freedom to run around, socialize, and play. Dogs are not our slaves. They are

Many American households own a pet, but their pets may have originated from a cruel background. Especially dogs, for many of them stem from one of the ten thousand puppy mills located across the United States. Puppy mills are large commercial breeding facilities that specializes in maximizing profit over the welfare and conditions of the animals. Animals live in unsustainable conditions which they are provided with the minimum amount of food, water, exercise, shelter, protection, and veterinary care; yet, these animals are forced to continue breeding for the sake of providing beautiful pets for our own personal expenses. The government should step in to advance regulations and inspections of large commercial breeding facilities because old rules no longer fit the current time anymore. For us to take home a new healthy family member, we should all know it comes from a safe place.

While I was there I asked one of the workers that have daily contact with these animals about what she thought about puppy mills and what would be a way to avoid them and the specialty about adopting a dog/puppy from the shelter. When I was talking to the worker Kayla Kirkpatrick she told me that “adopting a puppy/dog from the shelter gives that animals a second chance in life” replied Kirkpatrick. I would strongly agree with that statement because when an animal gets a second chance to them that means being able to start a new life with people that they can actually trust. I asked her another question on what she thinks about puppy mills in response Kayla said that “they are an animal's number one nightmare, because they don't understand what's going and when the end is coming near, because it's so to hold on any longer.” After speaking to Ms.Kirkpatrick I realized now that after talking to kirpatrick that animals are just like people and desire better and that they are not just a profit or yard ornament. on Ms.Kirkpatrick's request and everybody she works with would love to see people adopting from the shelter than

Puppy mills have been notorious for keeping the puppy trade industry alive and as big as it is today. With thousands of puppy mills, both known and under the radar, they provide easy access and cheap puppies to sell at pet stores at inflated prices. While they do keep the business booming and keep pure breeds that may specialize in important roles, they continue to put countless numbers of dogs through terrifying pain. To stop the agonizing torture the lovable pups go through, stricter rules must be applied to these puppy mills, a new license regulation must be used, regular inspections, and awareness of alternative options must be made.

Imagine yourself locked inside a filthy, disease filled cage, so small that you can’t even sit up. Imagine yourself not being able to move, not getting attention from anyone around you, and not getting enough food or water to fulfill your hunger. Imagine yourself outside without shelter whether it’s below zero and snowing, or 100 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Now, you may be thinking, who would ever treat another living thing in such a way? Unfortunately, there are about 10,000 of these abuse centers in the United States alone. These abuse centers are called puppy mills. Puppy mills need to be illegal because of the horrible conditions and selfishness of the people who run them. It’s important that everyone learns about what puppy mills are, how we are being deceived by them, and how we can make a change. So first off, what exactly is a puppy mill? According to Krysten Kenny, author of Albany Law Review, puppy mills are high volume

To begin let’s look at the problem: puppy mills, they produce mass amounts of puppies in poor conditions, the only concern being quantity of life, not quality of life. The life of a mill dog is one of intense suffering, “The Federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) passed in 1966 does not see these dogs as pets, but as livestock. Under the AWA, it is legal to keep a dog in a cage only 6 inches longer than the dog in each direction, with a wire floor, stacked on top of another cage” (A Closer Look). Forced to live in the squalor of their own feces their lives are bleak and hopeless. Most of us would never leave our animals out in the cold, snow, rain or the sweltering heat we have. These poor animals live caged in these harsh elements with little to no shelter. This type of

People made a new law about service animals.The law is that only dogs in can be service animals in public .Do I agree with it no, and I will explain why.I will also state why they made the law. As well as try to change your opinion from yes to no.Animals other than dogs are trained to be a service animal.I will now explain why they made this awful law.

Everyday, every second that passes by, animals across the globe are mistreated in their so-called “home”. Stop animal abuse! Abusers of animal are five times as likely to harm humans. Nearly half of the time victims who stay in violent households do so because they are afraid for their own animals. Countless more never leave the home for their very reason. This issue should be further looked into by identifying states with poorly laws against animal abuse, the wrong doing of taking advantage in the use of human resources, and having absolutely no heart in having a friendly companion.

Every 60 seconds an animal is abused. Dogs, cats, horses, and many other types of animals are being neglected and tortured everyday, yet resulting in few and minor consequences for the perpetrators. Animal abuse is prevalent in the United States and has been an ongoing issue since the 1970's, and prior to. Society as a whole has chosen to avoid the facts and arguments about animal cruelty, because to some it is seen as acceptable and typical. It becomes much more frowned upon when people actually see the results of the cruelty, especially in the media.

Intro: Can you imagine having the urge to intentionally hurt or even kill your helpless little puppy? Over the years, animal abuse has increased an unbelievable amount. I believe animal rights need to be enforced to people across the world. Animals are helpless creatures that should only be making the world a better place. I will enforce my belief by explaining what animal cruelty are, animal abandonment laws, and how to report animal cruelty.

It is suggested that pitbull owners feed their pets the foods that have what the breed requires in nutritional value. The dog food should contain nutrient sources that are similar to that found in their native lands that their ancestors ate. The requirements for a pitbull are a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Many dogs are taken to the vet because of nutritional related problems. If the dog is not getting the proper nutrients that their diet requires they can suffer from dry/itchy/flaky skin, hot spots, yeast infections in the ears, or thyroid-liver-kidney problems. The best diet for the pitbull is one that the owner makes fresh, using quality ingredients, without preservatives.
