The Issue Of Animal Cruelty

“Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to,” said Alfred A. Montapert, the author of The Supreme Philosophy Of Man. Many animals who have given people their love have been cast off or mistreated. The Humane Society Of The United States(HSUS) has made it their mission since 1954 to prevent this cruelty before it happens. The four founders of HSUS Helen Jones, Larry Andrews, Marcia Glaser, and Fred Meyers, all believed in this mission. I believe that the Humane Society Of The United States has a worthwhile and honorable mission. It is one of the best. Not only does it save thousands of animal lives each year it also works with law enforcement to investigate illegal animal cruelty. HSUS has more than 10 million members and uses its money wisely. If you donate just $19 a month to HSUS you will be doing a grand service and you will join the revolution to stop animal cruelty before it happens. You will be a part of preventing some of the

“In the arms of the angel, Fly away from here, From this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear” (McLachlan, 1998). These words are instantly remembered by many people from the 2007 ASPCA commercial. This song is known for being associated with sad and heartbreaking events, and paring it with animal cruelty would release a surge of emotions in the audience, which is exactly what the creators of the ASPCA commercials were targeting. ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is a non-profit organization created to receive monthly donations in order to save the lives of innocent animals being abused and neglected (ASPCA, 2014). The commercial is trying to persuade animal lovers and pet owners to donate to the ASPCA to help support the means to prevent animal cruelty. From the heart-wrenching pictures of abused animals, to the slow and sad music, the ASPCA uses a variety of narratives to create an advertisement that almost anyone with a heart can’t resist to act upon.

Hunting is not a form of animal cruelty because its serves a purpose to the population of certain animals. Animal cruelty is when people force pain on animals which lead them to suffer a slow agonizing death. This is a large moral issue today that just keeps growing into a nationwide problem. For instance, morally humans believe it is okay to harm non-domesticated animals rather than domesticated animals such as our pets. Domesticated animals and non-domesticated animals still have behavioral instincts. A domesticated dog will attack if threatened and a non-domesticated wolf would do the same. Thinking of ourselves as the dominate species is untrue in the state that animals kill other animals for food, just as we as hunters do and anyone who eats animal products. Many will ask what the differences are between hunting, poaching, and true animal cruelty.

Anthony Douglas Williams once said, “When humans act with cruelty we characterize them as ‘animals’, yet the only animal that displays cruelty is humanity.” Animal Cruelty has been a significant issue since early documentation of abuse in the 12th century. However, even though animal cruelty has been an issue for a long time the laws that govern the mistreatment of animals have only been around for a short period of time. There are numerous types of cruelty ranging from the mistreatment of circus animals, experimentation on lab animals, and physical abuse in households. In addition, there are several different links that show a connection between animal abuse and abuse towards humans.

Do you think animals should be treated and raised brutality ? No animal cruelty should be stopped there’s other ways to raise a animal , they shouldn’t go through pain and suffering . Now a day people think it’s perfectly fine hitting a animal , not feeding them , and not giving it the proper care . If you can’t give them what they need there’s no need for you to buy a animal .

Even though I think the movie is really persuasive and it is good to raise awareness for animal cruelty, I did not enjoy it. I found it very hard to watch the whole movie. However, overall, it is really informative, and I knew a lot after watching this movie. Before, I always thought that animal testing on drugs are necessary for our safety, but it is not. I also did not know what the animals have to go through everyday while being tested and observed. It was also heartbreaking to see how horrible the trainers train animals to perform on circuses. Before I thought the animals do trick, paint a painting, because they wanted to, but now I realized that they are being forced into doing all of these activities. I had always wanted to go to a circuses

The debate of whether or not animals should be allowed to be used as subjects in research, entertainment, or clothing is one of the most controversial issues known in today’s society (Parks 21). Through time, animal rights have acquired several different definitions and opinions from people. Regarding their belief about the true meaning of animal rights, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a largely recognized animal rights activist organization, states:

Animal Cruelty is a very serious matter in the U.S about 3,000 animals die each year, from animal abuse even though it’s against the law. Those that choose to abuse a Animal should be punished, Just as if a human gets punished for mistreating a Human being.

Animal cruelty is not one of the most discussed topics that you see on the news frequently, but it is an important subject to talk about. A lot of people stand up against all forms of animal cruelty and many will abuse animals for various reasons. Since there are many forms of animal cruelty, we generally hear about the most common forms like starvation, labor, and neglect. All animals deserve legal rights.

Animal abuse is a big issue in society. Most animal cruelty is caused by humans. Almost ten million animals die from animal abuse each year just in the U.S. 60% of those animals are dogs, 18% involve cats, and 22% involve other animals. Over 250,000 animals fall victim to neglect or abandonment a year and the person responsible rarely ever gets caught or arrested for what they've done.

The article put even more perspective on the topic of animal cruelty. I have previously read about the harsh conditions animals are forced into as well as I have watched torturous videos. I was captivated throughout the whole article, especially through the gruesome descriptions. I could sense that the author is a clear activist against the killing, slaughtering, and raping of innocent animals. It was disturbing reading about all of the specific details, mainly the ones that involve her experiencing first-hand what occurs in the factories. The conditions are brutal for not only the animals but the humans working. From the reading, nothing seemed sanitary. Humans being exposed to those conditions can easily disable their health, especially with

Animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal. Animal Abuse is growing problem in the world; many animals are abused my people, simply just to make a profit. In certain situations, some people can’t afford to keep up with the maintenance and responsibility of taking care of the animal. What many people fail to realize is , even though animals aren’t people, they’re living and breathing organisms, just like humans. Animals have feelings, but some people don’t think nor care about that. Animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal.

In the last decade, the views and forms of animal cruelty have changed. Many people have different views of an animal’s rights or purpose. Some people believe that animals have no rights and are a piece of property to be utilized by humans. To others, animals can still be used by humans, but they have emotions as well. A few people consider that only certain animals with high intelligence like chimpanzees or monkeys, should not be used by man, and they should have all the rights that man has currently (“Animal Rights” , 2009). Domestic violence has a correlation with animal abuse. In a survey, 71% of domestic violence victims also reported that their abuser also targeted pets/animals. The most common animals who are abused are cats, dogs, horses,

When it comes to big universities, most are big football schools. With football comes mascots, which is something the schools can hold very dear to their heart as mascots come with much pride and tradition. Some schools will have the average mascot you’re used to seeing in high school, a person dressed up in a costume that’s designed to look like a tiger, eagle, bear, etc. However, at many universities the use of live animal mascots is taking place. While some view this as exploitation of the animals, others see the royal treatment these animals get and carry a different opinion.

The weather outside is harsh. The wind is blowing and the temperature is below freezing. Imagine being locked in a cage and left unprotected from this weather with small portions of food and water that has turned to ice. Now imagine being yanked from this cage and bashed on the floor, stunned, and now skinned alive. Does this sound cruel? Does this sound like something that no creature should ever have to endure? This is something that is experienced by many different types of animals across the world every single day on “fur farms.” Animals are left out in the cold to produce their thickest fur coat and then skinned for that fur. This process happens to approximately sixty minks in order to make one coat (RandomHistory). It is almost impossible to fathom the amount that this must have happened just to create all the mink coats in the world, much less the amount killed if you include all of the other species used to make coats. The saddest part of it all is that this is only the beginning of the multitude of horrendous things that happens to the most innocent of God’s creatures. God put animals on the earth to make man’s life better and to survive not for man to disrespect and torture them. Animal cruelty is overlooked and ignored and it’s time for people, all people, to stand up and defend these animals and be their voice.
