Persuasive Essay On Wild Animals

Her name was Snow White, beautiful eyes with a smile so bright, perked up ears that rose to the sky and beautiful black and white fur that made you feel safe when needed someone to talk to or even a hug. Since birth she was loyal, since birth she was faithful, but the reality of it all is that, not every owner knew how to take care of her. An animal is known to be more than a companion and our savior of the night, which is why we should understand the reality behind animal welfare, but in actuality, we don’t. But, they’re some habits to create a positive impact on animal welfare. From taking your pet to the veterinarian every six months to making sure your animal feels loved and appreciated by giving them attention, they are a lot more ways

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.

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.

Animal rights is a very complicated issue. It’s not fair that they get tortured in a very inhumane way. Believe it or not that animals feel pain just like humans because we’re just a different species of animals. “Human demand for meat has led to a quicker production for demand, which means the meat industry production line doesn’t stop for anything, especially sick, disabled and not effectively stunned animals.” (Animal Rights) There are many cases of animals being mistreated and countless videos of them being tortured, getting kicked also bleeding to death. “Animals that are not stunned correctly are still butchered even when they are still conscious.” (Animal Rights) When eating meat, you’re “kidneys work 3x times hard than the kidneys of a vegetarian. There are some cases of retailers rejecting the meat because of the condition when delivered.” (Animal Rights)

A social issue impacting our community and many others around the world, is the epidemic of homeless pets. According to ASPCA, “Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats.” This statistic only seems to be accounting for dogs and cats, which make up a large number of animals entering shelters, but definitely not all of them. Livestock, reptiles, birds, small mammals, and even fish should not be forgotten. I have personally seen all of these animals end up in shelters. Care for the animals that end up in county animal shelters comes out of our taxes, so everyone paying taxes is affected. Because shelters are receiving so many animals, finding one with the promise of rehoming rather than euthanasia and willing take more animals can be hard. Sometimes people simply cannot keep their pets and must find another place for them to go. A death sentence for a beloved pet is not an opinion most families, or individuals, want to choose. The ones who are most affected by this are the animals. Animals are often put in crowded shelters, euthanized due to lack of room or funds in shelters, left to live on the streets, etc. This problem is furthered by animal breeders, people accidently allowing their animal to breed, and people purchasing animals on a whim without doing proper research on the care required, and later having to surrender the animal.

Approximately 6 to 8 million animals are handled by animal shelters in the U.S. each year. Even though some are reclaimed or adopted, nearly 4 million unwanted dogs and cats are left with nowhere to go. Animal shelters cannot humanely house and support all these animals until their natural deaths. They would be forced to live in cramped cages or kennels for years, lonely and stressed, and other animals would have to be turned away because there would be no room for them. Trying to build enough animal shelters to keep up with the endless stream of homeless animals is like putting a bandage on a gunshot wound. Turning unwanted animals loose to roam the streets is not a humane option, either. If they don’t starve, freeze, get hit by a car, or

Carding, brings to light one of the solutions to stop animal cruelty that has been ignored lately. Most U.S. communities require a licensure for all dogs starting at 4 to 6 months of age, but in my opinion it might be even more beneficial to require licensure as soon as a pup’s eye are open, or when a dog first changes owners, establishing ownership at the earliest practical time. Also, an anti-abandonment program can be beneficial, if we focus on finding the owner rather than impounding the free-roaming pet. Such an approach would reduce the need for more animal shelters, and also will be a solution to the extensive expenses for impoundment and euthanasia. In this article the authors state that: “The right to keep a pet also put a responsibility to the owner to prevent his animal from harming or annoying people and degrading the environment. Clearly, many pet owners do not accept their responsibility.” Also he points out that “Veterinarians and other health authorities who bear official responsibility for animal control rarely give adequate attention to free-roaming animals.” That being said, I strongly agree that free-roaming animals should be taken away from their owners, who clearly do not have any intention to take care of them. According to the above article, free-roaming animals increase the animal violence, not only human to animal, but even

In the planet that we live in exists more than 8.5 billion of species that extend all the way from fish to wild animals, about 525 million of the 8.5 billon on the whole world are dogs, on an investigation that was proceeded by Stanley Coren on “Psychology Today”, estimated that approximately out of the 42.5 million of houses that are located just on the United States, each house owns 1 to more than 2 dogs, it all adds up to just in the United states there are more than 78 million of dogs.Out of the 78 million there are 3.3 million of dogs that are unowned that live on the streets or are on animal shelters.

Do you own a pet? Do you know anyone that has a pet? Chances are, you do. According to the ASPCA, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 37-47% of people in America own dogs, and 30-37% own a cat. Most of us could agree we would do anything for them! Because, even when we don’t show them compassion, they will provide unconditional love. So there is no reason for us to shove them too the side. But when people do, they will likely end up in a shelter. This meaning, six, seven, even eight million dogs are waiting

This photo from the World Wildlife Fund is a part of a series of similar photos. In these other photos the bluefin tuna is wearing rhinoceros and gorilla masks. For some reason these pandas and other creatures are the “mainstream” endangered animals. People seem to care more about these animals even though the bluefin tuna is actually in more danger. But, why? Is it because they are cuter? Nicer? More known?

When people hear the word “extinct,” many will immediately think of the Mesozoic Era – dinosaurs. Since dinosaurs seem to be classified with extinction, many people believe that they are one of the only animals that have ever become extinct. Sadly, this is not the case. As years pass, countless animals have become extinct, and many more are finding themselves critically endangered. The number of critically endangered animals will continue to rise, especially if people don’t give this serious cause a second thought. All animals should be protected from endangerment and extinction, because of each animal’s value to every ecosystem, the frequent disturbances of their habitats made by humans, and the significance of the Endangered Species Act.

I was playing outside and all of a sudden, I hear this screech of a bird. I got very concerned, so I began walking up to the bird. It was laying fragile and still, like when a person is when they’re physically paralyzed and are unable to move. It must’ve flew into a window nearby. I couldn’t help but feel bad for it. No animal deserves to die. I then touched the bird making sure it was conscious. Before I knew it, the bird hopped up on it’s two legs. Cupping my hands, I tilted my water bottle, letting the water drop in my hands so the bird could get a drink. As soon as the bird got hydrated, it flew off into the woods. Even animals need a chance, but some people don’t care. I admire people like veterinarians who devote their lives to helping animals. Helping others can be a cure, not just for those who are in need, but for your own soul as well. Just then, I had a sudden realization. I want to help animals too. If we would all open our eyes and see just what some people do to innocent animals, maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to stop this. I was in high school when this all happened. It was like it was fate. I had to choose a career anyway, so why not be a vet. Yes! I want to be a vet.

“More than 50 million animals and over 1 billion rabbits are violently killed for use in fashion every year” (BornFreeUSA). Think about what that really means. Only about 85 million people in the US own pets per family, and that doesn’t even compare to how many animals are bred and trapped for the fashion industry. Any type of material seems fair game to designers these days. The use of animal fur and skins as a fashion statement is morally wrong according to most animal activist organizations. However, many corporations with interests in animal fur argue that animals do not have the same consciousness people do. Also, the production of faux fur has actually given rise to higher prices of real fur and pelts. The animals have no say in the matter, which is cruel and unusual in itself. Many corporations have made an argument that the alternative is worse and the profits made from the use of animals in fashion is worth the inhumanity for the economy, whereas myself and animal rights activists believe animals do not deserve to suffer like this and the pain is not worth it. These factors show the importance of the creation of a law that protects animal rights and a way to compensate people who work in the fur industry, to discourage continued harm.

Bridget Dillon is the youth campaigns coordinator for peta2, the youth division of PETA. In this position, she is mostly responsible for creating compelling, fun, relatable, inspiring content that will get teens excited to take action for animals and join the fight for animal liberation! Another big part of her job in peta2 is being a resource for young people looking to wage and win campaigns—from getting their school to offer veggie burgers or their parents to adopt from shelters and never buy animals.

Children, and some adults enjoy going to an Animal Park, or zoo and seeing animals that they do not encounter in day-to-day life. For many it can be a learning experience to witness animals from other areas of the world. What many do not think of is the animal’s well being living in captivity. The documentary “Blackfish” gives an inside look at the animals of SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, in particular the Orca whales. The animal’s well-being is not thought of in many instances, it is more about the amusement of the guests who visit. Not to say that animal parks are bad, many are conservation areas to help keep the population of animals where they should be. May animal parks also have breeding programs where they release healthy, young animal species back into the wild to raise endangered species populations.
