Research Assignment 4: Animal Luck

Animals are all around us - they are valued as pets and an important part of human society. Because of their involvement in our lives, it is important to protect them and their rights as living beings.

Movies, TV shows, circuses, and illegal gatherings in an old car garage are all places that animal abuse has taken place for the entertainment of humans. Since the 1900’s movie producers have been using animals in their productions (Dugas). Inhumane and unnecessary, are just two words that describe animal abuse, the use of animals for human entertainment is cruel and injustice.

All around the world, people are abusing animals. Animal cruelty is a big deal because some people do not look at animals as being important; some people do not see a problem with hurting them. Animal cruelty can be define as being a malicious treatment that can cause undue pain or being mistreated. Seeing an animal get brutalize by some humans seems to be cruel. Getting kicked in the ribs, left for starvation and even used for entertainment seems to be heartless. Why abuse animals when they have not done anything to harm a human. If one must see what they are really doing to these animals, then animal cruelty would not be a big deal.

Abuse towards animals is recognized by many in the commercials shown on television, including the Sarah McLaughlin song and the pictures of animals starved and

Animal abuse is when someone mistreats or inflicts pain on an animal. Even not feeding them is a form of animal abuse. Animal abuse is a major problem in America. When looking at why animals are treated the way they are today, it is important to think about the history of animal abuse, the rate at which animal abuse is reported, why people mistreat animals, and current animal rights advocacy groups.

Each year billions of animals are being tortured, blinded, scaled and used. Humans create these devastating events that occur. Animals experience pain and confusion throughout their life. There is great entertainment seeing animals in circuses and zoos but, there is a very dark side on how the animal performs. An elephant is beaten and trained until they are stripped from their spirit. Breeders are breeding large amount of animals, and shelters are becoming increasingly crowded. Animals are even sharing breathing space. The ignorance of our society is convincing that breeding animals are honorable. In reality, society is not just using animals for entertainment and breeding, but mass production of food. People are killing these animals

Imagine being drugged, taken to an unknown place, and being tortured to do actions foreign to your natural behaviour, but knowing it would be much worse if you disobey. That is the life of animals used for entertainment every day. Animals have been used as a means for entertainment for centuries now, not treated with the respect they deserve. The utilization of animals for entertainment may help attract people to learning more about a certain animal, however, manipulating animals for entertainment violates the animal’s rights and freedoms, and, more often than not, animals utilized for entertainment live in detrimental environments, despite people’s endeavors to end it.

However, this animal was not harmed but Peta formed an animal rights group and boycotted the movies premier. Peta was very upset and made it on the news that there was animal abuse on the set of “A Dog’s Purpose”. The video made it on tons of news networks and some actors on the movie were interviewed and asked about the so-called abuse on set. They all said there was no animal abuse and no animals were in distress. The outrage were in the newspaper and on the news, some were even in the movie theater. Some theaters had to close early because of protesters.

My research question is, ‘should it be legal to use animals for entertainment and recreational activities in Australia?’ This question is appropriate for me to investigate as I am passionate about the care and treatment of animals. Cruelty to animals is the human infliction of pain or harm upon an animal, for purposes unrelated to self-defence. I aspire to gain insight into the entertainment industry and their standards towards animal treatment. I would like to see changes in this industry and see regulations that ensure animals are treated ethically or not participating at all. Overall, I wish to spread awareness about an unethical industry with outdated values regarding the rights of animals.

There are many types of animals used for entertainment such as circuses, dog fighting, zoos, and rodeos. All of these types of entertainment are not natural for these animals which is a form of abuse. Often times they are wild animals that don’t belong in cages and are not able to do things that are in their instinct to do. This is especially true about zoos and circuses. Animals are not able to roam free and instead kept in small cages. Even in optimal settings experts say that it is difficult to provide for the needs of wild animals.(Lemonick) Children should learn to respect animals and not see them as entertainment. People should only support animal free circuses and raise awareness how animals are abused for entertainment.

There are a variety of laws depended on the state, but on the federal level animal cruelty is a top tier felony. There are several different types of abuse ranging from experimenting on animals, using animals for entertainment, and general abuse in the household. Through studies, it has been proven that people that abuse animals has had a tremendous link to abusing humans. There are a myriad amount of organizations and events that have aided in protecting the welfare of all types of animals, and preventing the mistreatment of animals is a continual long process that has improved over the years and will continue to do so in the

If you have watched the hobbit the American Humane Association gave it a go ahead to put “no animals were harmed in the making of this film” but the truth is that “27 animals died on the set of the hobbit either of dehydration, exhaustion or they drowned.” “Dozens of fish and squid were washed ashore in the filming of the Pirates of the Caribbean.” And not to mention the Life of Pi tiger almost

Animals have gotten injured many times on movie sets. On disney’s Eight Below a trainer punched a dog in the face five times because the dog wasn’t cooperating. The trainer was fired then was fined. The tiger named King in the movie life of Pi, almost drowned because he was swimming across the huge water tank that they filmed in and he got tired.

Just imagine someone picking you up placing you in a secluded laboratory, holding you against your will , and vehemently having your face and body stuffed with makeup or any other cosmetic item.
