Pet Censorship And Abuse

According to the animal cruelty page on the ASPCA website in 2017, one animal is abused with every passing minute. This means that by the time I finish this speech, as many as seven animals will be the victim of undeserved cruelty. Based on these statistics, about 1,440 animals will suffer today.

Animal abuse is when a human hurts an animal. There are many ways to detect if an animal that has been abused. One way is if the owner is being violent towards his pet another is if the animal has poor body conditions. While animal abuse is not as important for many people it is a growing issue. Animal abuse could signify many conditions such as domestic abuse, bullying or for some situation people are doing it out of pleasure. These cases can lead to a trail of violence that could even lead to mass murder.

What is animal abuse? For starters, animal abuse is when a person inflicts suffering or harm on any animal. Most people, all over the world own an animal; but there are still far more animals left out on the street. Homeless animals are either left out on the streets or are “thrown” into shelters. This became a problem because not all animals are domesticated. Animal shelters began as pounds. “When the system began to be used to impound wandering dogs and cats, these animals were often killed because little monetary value was placed on them” (Lila Miller, Animal sheltering in the United States: Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, 1) . This issue persists because shelter workers and others truly believe that an animal life has no value, but that is not true; animals are living beings just like humans with brains, hearts, and bones. A reported case was that “authorities had seized 23 puppies, 11 cats, and four adult dogs from a self-processed animal “rescue” after they were found in the “rescuer’s” filthy home.” (‘No-Kill’ Label Slowly Killing Animals, 3). This means that an unauthorized person hoarded many animals and forced the animals into an unsafe “shelter”. The shelter being a dirty home.

To bring awareness I am going to point out how important an animal’s life is just as important, they have feelings. They feel pain, fear, as well as abandonment. People think that because they have fur that they should be treated differently.Their lives are just as important as ours. Cruelty and neglect cross socio-economic boundaries, and media reports suggest that animal abuse is common in both rural and urban areas. (Humane society of the United States, 2016)

There are many different things that fall under the category of “cruelty”, neglect and abuse being the two main subcategories. The most common type of animal abuse involves dogs, Pit-bulls in particular. In 2007, of 1800 media-reported cases of animal cruelty, 64% (1,126) involved dogs, 18% (337) involved cats, and 18% (337) involved other animals. Some of the most common places where animal abuse occur are, in no particular order: fur farms, dog fights, laboratories, races (both Greyhound and horse), slaughterhouses, and puppy mills. Some less thought of forms of animal abuse are crush videos, traditional Chinese medicine, the cat/dog meat trade in Asia, the ivory trade, trophy hunting, and even shock collars. Abandonment is the leading form of animal cruelty. (See illustration.)

The owners abuse their pets by tapping their mouth,not feeding them and Keeping them in their cages without food or water. Why have a dog if you’re not gonna take care of it or treat it how a dog is supposed to be treated with kind and love.

There are many animals that are abused everyday, or put in animal shelters due to owners disowning them. Every year about 70.1% dogs die from dog abuse. A quarter of them are killed in animal shelters due to no one adopting them, because so many people drop off dogs that there is no room in the shelters so they kill the dogs that have been there longest. Just think, at least one dog is killed every 72 hours. More than likely, a dog is killed in an animal shelter somewhere in the world every

Today around America, 62 percent of the population owns at least one pet in their household, leaving the other 38 percent animal-free but how come they do not have one? Maybe because they hate animals or don 't have the essentials to care for one. Maybe they simply just are not sure if they want one. Although many people do not have pets, having an animal as a pet comes with many benefits. Some include helping with children, lowering depression, helping the blind, or simply to be the man 's bestfriend. I want to discuss pets and why they are important to the human 's everyday life. First I 'll talk about what animals can do, like help with development and social skills, then how they help with the human health, how they help the disabled, and finally how they help build responsibility in a child at a young age.

In her book, First Friend: A History of Dogs and Humans, Katherine Rogers proficiently covers the history of the relationship that exists between dogs and humans, from the mutual love and companionship that arises to the neglect and cruelty humans exhibit towards dogs. Throughout the book, there are many instances where dogs are abused and in each instance one of two themes are clear: dogs are abused either because humans are indifferent towards dogs or humans see them as an inferior species - and to some extent, possessions. In order to appropriately demonstrate how and why humans abuse dogs, it is necessary to have a clear definition of animal abuse. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals defines it as “acts of violence

It all started, when I saw animals wandering the roads looking really sick.When I saw that happen, I went straight to my parents and asked why they were like that. My parents answered me and said, “the animal is on the road because their owners did not want them and just left them like that.” This is when I realized the world was a terrible place. I figured out that this was animal abuse in about 5th or 6th grade. This is when I started getting very upset with people and just did not like the way they treated innocent animals. Innocent animals should be treated with love and respect. Animals love and respect you more than anything and always want to be with you and take care of you. I have three dogs and I never once thought I needed to abuse them because my dogs are always there for me. If I’m upset, my dogs know it and are right by my side. People need to learn that dogs will never want to hurt their own owner, because they love them. When people abuse the animals, they are not good people. People should NEVER abuse innocent animals. This is one reason why this world is a terrible

Unfortunately today there are many cases of animal abuse happening around the world. Animal cruelty or animal abuse can be defined as the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. There are many different types of abuse such as using animals for research, using animals for entertainment purposes, abandoning animals to shelters, and animal neglect. We need to raise awareness and find a solution to these issues. Animals are suffering and we need to help them.

Dogs, cats and fish are three of the most common types of pets found in households around the world, however pet ownership is an awesome and time consuming responsibility that should not be entered into lightly. Therefore, it is imperative that each potential pet parent consider their own personality, schedule, willingness to train, and financial status, to accurately discern which animal is appropriate for them, before bringing home a new pet. Additionally, as each species offers varying perks, care and time should be taken to research which animal would be an accurate fit.

Animals are often considered as property, and therefore the abuse and cruelty towards animals are not really considered to be a crime. Animal Cruelty laws should be made to be stronger and harsher. About 2.7 million animals are killed and abused by humans each year. Most animal cases go unreported and animal abusers are being unpunished and not getting what they deserve. Animal cruelty has also been proven to show more signs of future violence. People may witness and report signs or acts of animal abuse, but most cases are unreported.
