Persuasive Essay On Animals

Ever since a young age, I have been a passionate animal enthusiast. I cannot image a life without a dog by my side. Animals are not just pets, or food, or part of the environment. They are intelligent creatures and deserve to be treated as such. Animals have evolved just as we have. The evolution theory even says humans evolved from primates. So why do animals not have rights? They have a brain and can learn and grow, just as we can. It can also be argued that animals have a soul. I believe animals not only have dignity, but they also have rights.

Many people do not report cases of animal cruelty. Reports of animal cruelty are less common than crimes against people. This is because the cases do not go through state agencies. The animals that come to mind when someone mentions animal cruelty is often Dogs and cats. These animals do have a higher percent rate, with dogs at 70.1%, cats at 20.9% and all other animals at 24.1%. The percent’s come from cases that people report. If people were to fill all cases of animal cruelty, the rates would be much more different. A common form of negligence is people taking their animal to a place far from home to just leave them there. Animal control pick up these animals everyday and send them to shelter. For the most part the animals have a healthy portion of food and they have shelter from the environment. Most shelters are kill shelters. No-Kill shelters become less common to their counterpart. Animals not adopted within a certain period of time undergo euthanasia. This keeps room for more animals. No-kill shelters protect the animals and help rehabilitate them. The other 24.1% is the factory animals. The purpose of a factory animal's life is a food source. So the owners mistreat their animals because the animals purpose is to be a food source. It is almost as if they do not matter. They deserve animal rights just as much as the other animals do.

Animal testing has been one of the issues that people are fighting overtime because of its moral. Even though some results of tests are successful on people, many people are still fighting for the animal’s rights. They believe that animals should have their own rights to live a free life where they belong, just like their species. In scientists point of view, animals have been one of the main subjects to test on, but a lot of them are currently looking forward to use and develop alternatives for the cruel act of animal testing.

The deeper I dig into animal abuse , the more I want to become a vegetarian. But it is not easy as it seems. The things that I have seen and read makes me sick to my stomach. To watch a hopeless cow, get whipped , is sickening. Watching baby Chicklets die in a big machine , brings tears to my eyes. Millions of animals every day die cruel deaths , and I no longer want to be an accomplice to the crimes. While it may be hard to retrain myself , I should and intend to just stop eating meat.

Imagine one minute running freely on the vast green terrain surrounding you, then the next locked up in a cold, hard, cage. It sounds horrible, right? Who would want to be locked up with minimal area to stretch your legs, and have people staring at you constantly? I for one, would hate that. I imagine that most animals locked up would share the same feelings. I personally, am against animals being caged. They do not deserve that kind of lifestyle and should not have to live with it just because humans pay money to see it. Animals are suffering greatly from being locked away. When an animal is bought, traded or given to a zoo, the animals rights are stripped away from them.

Animal shelters are overflowing, some euthanizing dogs just because they no longer have the resources to care for these animals, yet people are still buying their dogs from the pet store. When getting a new dog, adopt it from the animal shelter rather than buying it from a pet store.

Smallpox, Polio, Insulin, Rubella, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Cardiac Pacemaker, Tetanus, Penicillia, Organ transplants, Blood transfusions and many more are all medical breakthroughs that have all be tested on animals to see if they will make humans better ( facts on animal research). If it wasn’t for animal testing than millions of people would have died, so many people were getting sick and dieing and no one knew why so by using different mixtures of chemicals a scientist was able to create vaccines that were first tested on animals to make sure that they are safe to use. Many of the household products such as lipstick, mascara, shampoo and cologne that we use in our everyday life are tested on animals first in order to see if they are safe

Your unwitting response only proves how adamant you are to twist and bend the rules to your convenience. The rules clearly state that "the tenant will ALSO be notified", with no further stipulation indicating that said notification is to further be forwarded by the owner of the unit. Also, VERBAL complaints are invalid, as you have stated numerous times, whenever we have addresses our own concerns with other dogs/people in the building. Therefore, you are purposely suppressing the rights we are entitled to, which is absolutely ridiculous and indicative of your personal agenda to attack, harass and discriminate against us, for no reason; which is a clear violation of the regulations set forth by the FHA, not to mention a violation of the IDFPR oath you are supposed to uphold as a licensed community association manager.

Today we live in a world of opposites: animal lovers and activists who strive to make equality for all living things and people who have anthropocentric mindsets which causes them to believe that animals are undeserving of rights. Should not there be rights for all living things? Well, at least this is what I believe, and I did not come to this conclusion on my own. The way I view animal rights is tremendously influenced by my exposure to media, my personal experiences, and the values of my generation.

Medicines or cures save many people. They can make headaches go away or injury pains vanish. But how do people know if it will work or if it will make it worse? Animals. They test out the cures on animals before they announce that they have a pain killer or medicine for some diseases or problems. These animals are suffering from these tests and sometimes they might not even work. There lives are being sacrificed to save ours, is it fair? Although these creatures may be helping us, these animals are suffering, they don’t have many of the diseases people have, millions of animals are being tested, and sometimes, they go to waste.

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.

For centuries the welfare of our world’s animals has been an ongoing issue. Even in our modern, civil, and advanced society animals are still treated unfairly living horrible lives for our own “benefit”. When the term animal abuse comes to mind, it often brings up images of puppies or kittens being hit or left out on the streets to die, although this is abuse that presents a massive ethical issue there are many others as well. Many fail to realize that at the root of their juicy burgers, or tasty ice cream cones lays the deep dark secret life of cows. The welfare and lives of cows on industrial factory farms that produce meat and dairy for our society present a big contemporary ethical issue. Countless cows die every day due to the conditions, and ongoing torment that goes on in the industrial factory farms. Although the United States has created laws to try to help these animals, many of the laws are either vague or poorly regulated or enforced; this is proved by the typical life of a cow used for food. From the time a cow is born to the time it dies, its life is full of countless trials and tribulations of poor welfare and lack of rights, which is unethical in more ways than one.

An issue that has been debated for a very long time has been animal cruelty. It exists in different forms, whether it be the fur of animals being used for high-end fashion products, different parts of animals being used for rare expensive cuisine, experimenting on animals for psychologic or medical testing or having them fight each other for entertainment. In order to address this issue, I have decided to make a series of advertisements showcasing some of these examples of animal cruelty in a more lighthearted manner. In order to balance the lightheartedness and seriousness, I think doing it live action with real actors would be more ideal than animations. Not only can viewers relate to other human beings, they can also feel more empathetic

If you aren’t concerned with innocent animals being euthanized because they aren’t getting adopted then stop reading here. Every year thousands of sheltered and animals are being euthanized due to the fact that people don’t want to adopt them. By finding bright spots in shelters such as similarities between animals that are adopted, and then find out how to spread those characteristics to other animals in the shelter. I’ll be researching potential ways to increase the animals’ happiness and then hopefully their personalities will change as well.

Everyone who has kids knows that said kids always want a family pet, and, if they don’t have one, they will be constantly asking for that puppy in the window, or that kitten in the gutter, or even that stray raccoon that probably has rabies. This is often a problem for a young family that’s just starting out. There isn’t enough room, or it would cost too much, or it won’t be as cute once it grows up and the kids will get bored of it, and so on and so forth. If only there was an animal out there that could silence these unending requests for a pet and at the same time fit into the busy and practical household of the typical American family. Well, how about a rabbit? Rabbits make some of the best pets for children because they are easy to take care of, cheap to buy and maintain, are absolutely adorable and varied, and are even a great way to teach kids how to run a business.
