Persuasive Essay On Animal Abuse

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).

In an animal lover’s world , killing an animal is a crime. Animals are innocent .In her article “The Truth about Farm Animals” , former farmer Heather Rose explains, “Animals around the U.S are mistreated every day and we don’t even know about it. They are kept in small cages often with so little space that they can't even turn around or lie down comfortably” (Reno NV). People express that our do these things since, people have rights and animals don't. At the point when people say things like that, it makes me so furious, what has this world come to when we say that animals don't have rights. Is it since they can't talk? Or, on the other hand is it since they are not human and we should regard them as we would a cloth doll. We shouldn't treat animals along these lines regardless, there are better approaches to get the meat at that point by killing it at 5-7 weeks old (chicken) or six months(pigs). I believe that killing animals is pure evil , I mean it's despicable , Animals have lives

Impregnated Animals should not be placed in gestational crates. Mother pigs can not rotate in gestational crates to at least see piglets.(Farm Sanctuary. N.p., n.d. 1)"Farm Sanctuary." Farm Sanctuary. N.p., n.d. Web. 05 Feb. 2016 states,“The crates, meant to separate the mother from the piglets to avoid crushing, are restrictive to the point that the mother pig can only stand and lie down — she cannot even turn around to see her piglets.” In the gestational crates, there is a rather big space where all of the disposal waste goes, which leads to pigs slipping because part of the cemented ground is slanted.

After about three weeks after a pig’s birth they are removed from their mother's care and placed in a room with many other piglets, the room lacks windows, sunlight, and any ways to get fresh air. The lack of fresh air creates a pungent odor that is dangerous and extremely uncomfortable for the pigs to endure. The female breeding pigs spend their entire lives in spaces so small they can’t even turn around, they are only taken out of these spaces days before they give birth but are moved to an equally restricting space. After a few weeks of nursing they are moved back and the process begins again. This continues for years until they are no longer able to breed and are

When it comes to agriculture the role of animals is very important because of the nutrients they recycle and the food they provide so, shouldn’t animals be treated as humans are treated, protected from suffering? When you hear the words spouse abuse or child abuse, abuse is a word that most Americans are common with. Factory farming is a type of abuse that most people aren’t common with. In effort to grow food from animals as cheaply and quickly as possible, animals are packed into farming warehouses where they have no access to outside or fresh air. They aren’t able to do things naturally or things that are important to them. Instead animals of factory farms are constantly under

Factory farms pigs are not so happy. Tails of pigs are snipped of at birth and weaned off their mothers ten days

Paul McCartney once said, “if slaughterhouses had glass walls, we would all be vegetarian.” There are many different forms of animal cruelty, ranging from labs, to farms, to even circuses. People have been using animals for a long time, they have controlled them for even longer. But despite that, there have still been some positive outcomes from this otherwise dark subject. Some people support the things that are happening to these animals. But others make it their mission to stand up for the animals that are mistreated everyday. Animal cruelty can mean many things to many different people, it can be a controversial topic, with many different sides and stories to it, it has a long history, much of it being good, much of it bad.

About 1 million animals per year are abused because of domestic violence that occurs in the home where they live. "Animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal. Either way, and whether the animal is a pet, a farm animal or wildlife, the victim can suffer terribly. Don’t despair, though—anyone can take steps against cruelty." People should stop animal cruelty because hurting the animals can make the animals population go down and it can also make the animals stressed and upset.

The living conditions for these poor animals in these factory farms are disgusting. According to the article “Visualise Factory Farming”, nearly 20,000 pigs are sometimes kept in a building just one football field in size, and as many as 20,000 to 30,000 chickens are stuffed inside of a building only 400 feet long. Now housing one to two million birds on one site has become relatively common. Along with that, in yet another article, it is stated “pigs and chickens, in particular, are warehoused in dim, crowded and suffocating conditions -- a cross between an 18th century slave ship and 1930’s mental institution.” This happens in places known as concentrated animal feeding operations(CAFOs), where 99 percent of the meat you find in a grocery store comes from. I find it hard to believe this kind of treatment to animals is legal.

Everyone has heard the horror stories of what goes on in industrial agriculture, or factory farms. Animals are shoved around, in lines, all awaiting their eminent slaughter for the production of meat products. Workers throw baby pigs around and abuse the animals just because they can. Groups such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are adamant that the factory farms get shut down and do everything they can to get the public known of the horrors that go on. However, what most people do not realize is that farms are still agriculture and agriculture is necessary for the production of crops, meat, and other nutrients necessary to survive. PETA has been one-sided in showing that farms do horrible things such as dehorn

Over the centuries, animals have suffered from cruelty from humans. In the United States, animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Animals have been inflicted with pain from humans for reasons other than self-defense. They have been slaughtered for their food and fur for personal gain in profit. In a majority of cases they have even been abused for someone’s own personal amusement or out of rage filled impulses. In some cases animals are found and rescued. They are given the second chance in life to experience what life should be like compared to what they once had.

When you think of animals being raised on a farm, most people think of a eco-friendly place with cows out at pasture, chickens or pigs roaming free in the yard, horses grazing beautifully in the fields. We think of the animals as happy and stress-free and the environment healthy and clean. Unfortunately, that is not the reality of America today. The reality of farming today are called Factory Farms which are large scale animal operations that control most of the animal industry , where the quality of goods produced are set higher than the well being of animals. This includes both the raising, and production of either milk, eggs, ect or slaughtering for fur or meat. Today, 94% of Americans agree that animals raised for human consumption do not

The animals are supposed to be able to graze freely, but instead they are locked up in overcrowded cages.

The practice of castration in piglets is conducted typically within the first week of life primarily to prevent the development of “boar taint” (Guay et al., 2013). Boar taint is the result

Over the years, real life animals have been used for entertainment purposes, it was most likely to engage the audience in learning about that specific animal and it helps grow love for that animal. Today, animals are seen doing show stopping tricks whether it be on TV, circuses, or theme parks. However, are we unintentionally exploiting these animals to situations that they should not have to deal with? Specifically, cases of wild animals that follow their primal instinct to survive in their selective habitats. The audience witnessing these commercials, ads, and shows may feel adoration for these animals but the facts are that for these wild animals confinement is detrimental, their quality of life diminishes, and stunts performed are unnatural.
