According to the Humane Society of the United States, there is a growing problem with people in the United States not properly using animal welfare. Animal rights activists believe that animals were not put here for human use and should be able to live their lives free of human intervention. Animal welfare is better for all animals and for human benefit while using the animals. The American Veterinary Medical Association says that, “Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment. Protecting an animal's welfare means providing for its physical and mental needs.” Providing for an animal’s physical needs includes
“Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to,” said Alfred A. Montapert, the author of The Supreme Philosophy Of Man. Many animals who have given people their love have been cast off or mistreated. The Humane Society Of The United States(HSUS) has made it their mission since 1954 to prevent this cruelty before it happens. The four founders of HSUS Helen Jones, Larry Andrews, Marcia Glaser, and Fred Meyers, all believed in this mission. I believe that the Humane Society Of The United States has a worthwhile and honorable mission. It is one of the best. Not only does it save thousands of animal lives each year it also works with law enforcement to investigate illegal animal cruelty. HSUS has more than 10 million members and uses its money wisely. If you donate just $19 a month to HSUS you will be doing a grand service and you will join the revolution to stop animal cruelty before it happens. You will be a part of preventing some of the
Animal Cruelty is a subject that spreads far across the United States and into most civilized cultures. Animal cruelty can either be in the form of intentional abuse, simple neglect, or abandonment of animals. Whatever forms the abuse takes, however, the animal that is the victim of the abuse is often helpless and may experience extreme suffering. Animal right activist feel if you don’t know how to take care or treat an animal it can be as deadly as physical abuse to care for one.
Say “animal” to any American, and there is a decent chance that the first image brought to mind will be a cat or a dog. Domesticated animals such as these permeate American culture, from the Puppy Bowl to the ongoing dog vs cat debate on Facebook posts and Internet forums. But although pets seem to be everywhere, millions of them every year slip through the cracks, winding up on the streets or vying for limited space in an animal shelter. This overpopulation makes animal homelessness in America a problem that needs to be addressed.
America, the land of the free, the home of the brave, and the doorstep of death. Injustice… an injustice is the opposite of justice, the world is full of injustices and people who commit injustice and it has to stop.we can make America a better place, we can make the world a better place. There are people that go through hell every day and most people just don't care. Pay attention to what's going on around you. Bullying Animal Abuse Racism, they are all injustices.
While the argument can be made that the animals are being treated equally as humans, others assert there is harm towards the animals. One should be concerned with the pros and cons about animals. All evidence considered, rather than harming animals, one needs appreciate and merit the animals.
This Act has for the first time introduced legislation for pet owners meaning that the owners have a legal duty of care to meet the five welfare needs of their pets. The welfare needs are also known as the five freedoms and they are the basic needs of any animal. The law also applies to people who are responsible for animals, such as breeders and those who keep working animals. (APGAW. No Date)
There is a large problem of animal cruelty linked to the food industry in the United States. Countless slaughterhouses, chicken farms, and other meat producers have been found guilty of harming animals and killing them inhumanely. This is something that clearly needs to change.
Today the world is made up of many groups fighting for the same basic right: equality.Yet, the ones who are unable to voice their opinions or speak their minds are left in the dust and at the whim of others opinions. Millions of animals all around the world are being neglected, tortured, abused, and all for the benefits of the human kind. However, there are individuals and organizations who are determined to make a change for these helpless animals such as: Peta, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Food Empowerment Project, and the list continues. Although, these animal activist groups are breaking boundaries that have never been broken before, there is still an argument for animal cruelty. The fight for animal equality is no different than the fights amongst our own kind. Nevertheless, many
In the United States, individuals frequently say that they cherish creatures and that they view their pets as a component of the family, however many adhere to a meaningful boundary at every living creature 's common sense entitlement. Is it safe to say that it isn 't sufficient that we treat them others consciously? Why ought to creatures have rights? What rights ought to creatures have? How those are rights not quite the same as human rights? The truth is that since the U.S. Division of Agriculture issued the 1966 Animal Welfare Act, even creatures utilized as a part of business cultivating are qualified for a specific base-level of treatment. In any case, that contrasts from the needs of every living creature 's common sense entitlement dissident gatherings like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) or the more extraordinary British direct-activity amass known as the Animal Liberation Front. The creature welfare see, which is discernable from the every living creature 's common sense entitlement view, is that people can utilize and misuse creatures the length of the creatures are dealt with compassionately and the utilization is not very silly. To every living creature 's common sense entitlement activists, the principle issue with this view is that people don 't have the privilege to utilize and misuse creatures, regardless of how well the creatures are dealt with.
More laws should be put in place to protect those rights against those moral-beings lacking sympathy. Those who do not support the animal rights movement, you included, usually assume much of the following: animal rights would have the same meaning as human rights, those in favor of animal rights do not recognize that humans are the ultimate species, and that animal rights would infringe on the rights of humans. The current stereotype of the animal-rights movement usually assumes that all of its’ supporters are vegetarians who ignore the importance of science in modern society. I am writing to you, however, to explain that there is a middle ground that goes largely ignored when interpreting the concept of animal rights. This middle ground is centered on the idea of inherent value and a living creatures’ right to that value that must be established due to the existence of humans. I am viewing the idea of “rights” in terms of animals as a concept that exists due to the existence of humans, but does not apply to them. I agree with all of your basic concepts: humans are supreme and should come first, and animals do not have rights like humans. Where I believe we can come to a compromise, however, involves viewing the issue through a lens of gray rather than black or white. Humans are the ultimate beings with the highest inherent value. There is no other higher
To start off, animal rights is the idea in which non-human animals are enabled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests should be given the same consideration as similar interests as human beings. It is often misinterpreted with animal welfare, which is how an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives. Those who support
The Animal Welfare Act was originally created on August 24, 1966 by president Lyndon B. Johnson, but has been edited and revised 7 times since the original act was passed. This act consists of regulations on the amount of testing, transport, research and exhibition that can be used on the animals. The dealers of these animals must also have a license to do so. The Animal Welfare Act states that they will be treated in “Transportation, sale, purchase, housing, care, and the people handling them for research.”
Each year, the most extreme cases of animal abuse receive media attention. Yet, the animal cruelty problem is more widespread than is reported in the media. Animal abuse and neglect is a nationwide issue, affecting thousands of animals nationwide. Cruelty to animals is defined as the infliction of physical pain, suffering or death on an animal, beyond what is necessary. There is a need to stop abusers from acting in such a horrific manner–preventing the neglect and suffering of the animals. What causes animal abusers to act in such a cruel way towards animals? How are cases of animal abuse being managed, and how should cases be handled? Finally, does the status of animals in society contribute to the rate of their abuse?
Animal Rights Around 70,000 animals each year are being used for center experiments every year. And ten billion farm animals that are being raised each year in the United States suffer in bad living conditions.(Patty Taylor.) Although they are being raised for food, and live in poor living conditions with the lack of attention, they should still be treated with care, have the proper medication needed when sick, and live in a free-range living environment with the proper food and nutrition needed to grow strong and healthy. Animal rights is the philosophy of allowing non-human animals to have the basic rights such as; the freedom to live a natural life free from human exploitation, pain and suffering, and premature death.
For many years now the world has seen controversy over the rights of animals and if they think and feel like humans do. Many people see animals as mindless creatures or as food, while others think they have emotions and can feel pain. In other countries animal protection laws are in place that are strictly enforced and seem to work well with the system. In the United States however; some of the animal rights laws are considered to be useless and under-enforced (Animal Legal & Historical Center). More people today are beginning to see that animals should have rights and should be protected by laws and regulations (Animal Legal & Historical Center). Sadly there are many people residing in the United States who don’t take animal rights or protection laws seriously. These people abuse animals in many ways, including food industries that disobey the regulations set in place for the slaughter of animals used for consumption. Luckily for the animals there are people who fight for their rights and the enforcement of laws called animal rights activists.
