Research Paper On Animal Cruelty

According to the passage “The Impact of Animal Protection” it says “In the wild, animals share territory with other species, and the idea of survival of the fittest is very apparent.” it also mentions that the innate instincts they have to survive can be hurt and sometimes gone if they are kept in captivity for too long. The animals are more likely to be hurt by predators because they forget the their natural ways from when they were wild and untouched by the human kind. Others may say that it’s great for many of the to be in the animals to be in zoos mainly for the entertainment to them when they go to see the animals. However I still feel that it is not necessary for them to be locked away in the captivity of zoos for human needs they have their own needs to you

Is animal testing a cruelty an experiment in cruelty. There are many good things that come from animal testing, but there are also a lot of bad things. From animal testing, researchers find medicines that help many people. Also, researchers see if drugs are safe to use on humans, and if they work. However, many animals are killed and kept in captivity and will never be free. Also, animals and humans are not the same, so some drugs that work on animals may be harmful for humans. Animal testing is cruel because it is bad on animals, it is expensive, and many animals are killed or are never the same.

Thesis Statement: Imagine a dog running to fetch a toy, A horse galloping on a trail, or even a heard of cows grazing upon a grassy pasture. These same beloved animals could be suffering an unimaginable fate in some of the world concentration camps that are still standing. Only nowadays they are known to the outside world as slaughterhouses, fur farms, or experimentation centers.

While there is a common belief that Animal Cruelty and Domestic Violence are two separate issues, but, upon closer investigation proves there is a prominent correlation between the two. Despite the whether you believe animals and humans should be given equivalent attention remains a debated subject.

In October of 2012, a Jack Russell Terrier puppy named Phoenix was set on fire in Buffalo N.Y. The woman who discovered him was attracted by black smoke. She managed to put out the the flames with her sweater and proceeded to rush him to a small animal hospital with severe burns over his whole body and a serious ankle infection. Although he lost 60% off of both of his ears he maintained almost complete mobility of his leg. He still has a slight limp. Judi Bunge, a senior vet technician at Buffalo Small Animal Hospital who had been looking after Phoenix, adopted him soon after he had fully recovered. He now lives with Judi and her two other dogs. "Phoenix will become a therapy dog and continue his work as an ambassador for the

In America, we come across serious environmental issues about poverty, domestic abuse, ending world hunger ect. Animal cruelty isn’t one of those topics that isn’t being put out there more. We see it all around like the commercials on tv that tell you to donate money to help the poor stray dogs. People don’t see how much damage we can cause to them, but if we got together we can help stop this madness. In the article, Counting cruelty: Challenges and opportunities in assessing animal abuse and neglect in America it briefly says “Cruelty to animals is a crime.” (Lockwood 87). Laws were made for this problem way back. Our laws help keep society in a proper place with no hysteria.Which means people like us should pay attention more to our surroundings.

Animals are an important and valued part of many families and cultures. In many households, animals are considered members of the family, receive Christmas and birthday presents, and are cared for just as a human child would be. Opposition to animal cruelty has even become a sort of universal value in American culture(Kordzek 604). But animals are uniquely vulnerable to abuse, and despite this they still do not receive much needed protection from the law. The penalties for animal cruelty are not frequently severe enough to even deter one from harming an animal. This is dangerous not only for animals, but for human beings too. Animal cruelty and domestic violence have been proven to correlate in countless ways, and recognizing animal cruelty as a serious criminal offense and a form of domestic violence would serve to protect both animals and human beings from needless acts of violence. Instituting stiffer criminal penalties for animal cruelty and increasing the protective measures for victims of abuse is necessary to further the protection of both animals and human beings.

As a pet owner, we strive to make the best decisions for our furry friends, as we are their only advocates. They depend on us for everything they need to survive. There are so many decisions we must make on their behalf. What kind of food should we feed them? When is it time to see a veterinarian? These are all choices we make to ensure they live healthy and happy lives. One of the most controversial decisions we are faced with is whether or not to spay or neuter our pets. Some people feel that it is an unnecessary surgery, while others see it as a means to an end for pet overpopulation. I personally feel that in order to make the best decision, we need to be sure we have the correct facts.

Cruelty has existed since the beginning of living organism. No matter where you live, what religion your in, Cruelty will always exist. It’s just a part of human nature, it’s tactic us human use to get accomplish something, or get your point across. Think about about the holocaust in Germany, slavery, and 9/11. They all used acts of cruelty to get there point across. There are times where cruelty saves innocent lives, most times cruelty cause more harm than good.

Animal cruelty is a very serious matter, and it angers me very much. Animal fighting is a very serious cause, and it harms the animals very much, and it’s very inhumane. There are 3 most common types of animal fighting; dog fighting, cock fighting, and hog-dog fighting ("Animal Fighting Facts"). During animal fighting the animals get very hurt, and sometimes even fight to the death. Animals do not deserve to be treated that way, and it should be changed. There are many animals that are treated poorly, and it is very unfair to them. Animal fighting is horrible.

“There’s a national consensus that animal abuse should indeed be treated as a serious crime. Now animal cruelty will be a Group A felony” (@dogtimedotcom.) meaning that people felt as if animal abuse was wrong and now it will be much easier to punish the act, get mental help for the abuser, and identify offenders while they are young. A crime is anything that goes against the national law and abuse has always been a type of violent crime but until now abuse of an animal was never taken seriously by law, now it is. Members of today’s society may not agree with the law but they must go with it or they will be punished. Animal abuse shows early signs of trouble in children and young adults, therefore, should be taken seriously. ” Animal abusers of today could be the serial killers of tomorrow” (@dogtimedotcom.). Animals are not things and should not be like any other property object. Animals feel emotion just like any other living thing and should be protected under the same law that human beings are. By considering animal abuse as a felony “we will protect both helpless animals and the people animal abusers are most likely to abuse” (Should Animal Abuse) which would bring a grand amount of protection to society. When thinking of animal abuse being a crime one should consider what exactly makes something a crime and what animal abuse is, after taking these things into consideration one will come to figure out that animal abuse is a mental illness that needs to be evaluated and is just as wrong as human abuse considering all living things have a sense of feeling and

Hunting is our natural instinct which has been passed down from generation to generation. Since the beginning of time humans have hunted down animals for food which is seen as an acceptable norm in our society because animals fall under the food chain that is meant to be eaten by us humans. However, those hunting were done for our survival but nowadays it is for entertainment and to show dominance. Sports hunting is not only cruel but unnecessary because if we are to use an animal ethics than it falls under a negative aspect where we are killing innocent beings for our mere pleasure. Hunters kill endangered species and fail to realize the consequences or they just do not care. Philosopher Kant and Peter Carruthers stated animals are not rational

Each year, millions of animals die from animal abuse and neglect. Animal abuse includes torture, beating, mutilation, poisoning, shooting, as well as confinement. Animal neglect consist of failing to provide access to food, water, shelter, and sanitary conditions. Along with insufficient shelter from harmful elements, such as cold, heat, rain, and snow lack of, also improper medical care and treatment (Gale). Animal abuse and neglect is becoming a big problem today. Convictions for animal cruelty is rising every year. Animals are also not able to be put in shelters due to the over crowdedness. Since they are not able to have shelter, animals go back to their current circumstances and turn into hasty,

Animals have been with us for many years, helping us with important tasks and even just being

For centuries, philosophers have debated the existence (or non-existence) of moral obligations to non-human animals. In this essay, I will draw upon the work of Kant, Machan, Norcross, and Singer to argue that animals do, in fact, deserve moral consideration. I will then explain why these obligations should lead consumers (whose circumstances deem the consumption of animal products unnecessary) to abstain from the purchase of products that cause harm to animals. These products include, but are not limited to, most meats, dairy products, cosmetics, and leather goods.
