The Laws 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

The rate at which animal cruelty occurs is at an alarming 71% in the United States according to ASPCA. Every 60 seconds, another animal is abused by a caretaker. Overall, cruelty encompasses neglect, abuse, abandonment, sexual abuse of animals and animal fighting. Due to efforts by organizations such as PETA, ASPCA, HSUS in educating and providing awareness to the topic of animal cruelty, many more individuals have become more aware of their actions against animals. In conjunction with these listed organizations, states such as Maryland have adopted legislation to help combat animal cruelty and serve as advocates for animals. The three most rigorous forms of animal abuse that need to be tackled are as followed, neglect, hoarding, and

Yes , there should be harsher laws for animal cruelty, Because animals are just as important as humans because they are loving , caring and they have emotions and feelings. Animals bring so much joy and laughter into our lives , and its so unfair that they get treated the way that they do Animals are living things too and people need to respect them the way they would like to be respected , . Just because we believe that we are superior because they can’t talk or write is absolutely wrong , we just don’t understand how dogs use their way of communication .

The Animal Bill of Rights is meant to protect animals that don’t have legal protection. There are laws that protect some of the animals, but are often insufficient and full of loopholes. In this society we have many people who think the total opposite of defending the animals. It may be because of selfish thinking. Sometimes one might think, it is needed for them to survive or because they want to be able to show their children the animals in person at zoos. Now, the question is, if animals need a Bill of Rights? I strongly believe that they do need a Bill of Rights because there are animals on the day-to-day basis that are being mistreated and abused by humans that don’t care for them. We need the Bill of Rights because it will give a better voice to the animals being treated as if they were nothing in this world. I agree with what the source indicated “ Animals in the U.S. are considered just “property” by law, even though they are living, feeling beings”. If they were not considered “property” humans wouldn’t be harming these animals and would rather be caring or not giving them much attention if they aren’t an animal enthusiast.

More than ever before, our planet is one filled with meat eaters. In fact, the average American consumes 270.7 pounds of meat per year. And, as one might have guessed, the question of where this food set before them on the table came from is often unregarded or ignored altogether. As more media forms commercialize extremely unhealthy versions of double cheeseburgers and meat lover’s supremes, the consumer’s demand for meat spikes up and companies in the food industry are faced with the ethical dilemma of benefiting themselves, their companies, increasing profits...and doing right by the animals- who without, they would not even be where they are today. Needless to say that animal rights and the humane treatment of their precious lives have been disregarded. Why do we, as a

Many people who think that the way that we treat animals in the process of raising those for human consumption are wrong never stop, to think what they can do to stop this problem from further occurring. Furthermore, they make impassioned calls for more “humanely” raised meat. Instead to soothe their consciences they shop for “free range” meat, and eggs; which has no importance. Even if an animal is raised ‘free range” it still lives s life of pain and suffering that all ends with a butcher’s knife. Although many know that over 53 billion land animals are slaughtered each year for human utilization they still tend to eat this meat with no problem. The simple explanation is that many don’t care what happens to animals as long as they are eating and healthy. If they did care then they would what could be a difficult choice; to go without eating meat and selling it in any form.

Animals are found throughout lives of humans. As companions, entertainment, test subjects and food, animals serve vital roles throughout our lives.The Animal Bill of Rights, through the Animal Legal Defense Fund, attempts to defend the basic legal rights of all animals. However, to weigh the need for such an act, one must compare the suffering of animals to the benefits such suffering gives to humankind. It’s much more important to highlight the crucial medical advances that lab animals have provided over the injustices they may suffer, but this suffering can not and should not be ignored. It is with measure that we do not enact a bill of rights for animals, however we bring new awareness of animal research and the ethical treatment of all

o domesticate animals such as dogs, goats, chickens, sheep, and beasts of burden between 10,000 and 18,000 years ago. Many people originally believed that because animals had no souls they also felt no pain; however, this belief changed as the study of animals increased. The first animal-protection law in western civilization was adopted in 1641; making it illegal to “exercise any Tirranny or Crueltie towards any bruite Creature which are usuallie kept for man’s use.” (7) In 1789, the English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, was the first to state that animals have rights. This concept was different from the belief that animals felt pain, in his claims animals deserved basic human rights. This new theory shook the foundation of many peoples belief in what animal rights truly is. In 1821, Maine became the first state to adopt modern anti-cruelty laws for the U.S.; every other state eventually passed similar legislation. It still wasn’t until the 21st century that lawsuits in the interest of animals became common. The animal rights movement has become most active in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Animal rights organizations have been using court systems to protect animals from being used in harmful activities, such as the agricultural industry and as being research subjects, in the belief that they have the same basic rights as all humans.

The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) was established in 1966 in order to prevent mistreatment of certain animals. Establishment of the AWA was a large milestone in the fight towards stricter dog breeding regulation, as it is the first and only federal law that aims to protect animals that are commercially bred. One of the biggest breeding-related rules it enforces is that breeders who breed more than three dogs at a time for profit are required to have a license. According to the AWA, “Any person who maintains a total of three (3) or fewer breeding female dogs, cats, and/or small exotic or wild mammals…and who sells only the offspring of these dogs, cats, or small exotic or wild mammals, which were born and raised on his or her premises, for pets or

The Animal Welfare Act was originally created on August 24, 1966 by president Lyndon B. Johnson, but has been edited and revised 7 times since the original act was passed. This act consists of regulations on the amount of testing, transport, research and exhibition that can be used on the animals. The dealers of these animals must also have a license to do so. The Animal Welfare Act states that they will be treated in “Transportation, sale, purchase, housing, care, and the people handling them for research.”

I buy a great deal of your products. I have spent more than I care to admit. Now I hear your going back to animal testing. If this is true, I suggest you STOP! I know many many people who use your products and I have talked with all of them and we have decided to boycott your product until you go back to cruelty free makeup.Now I know what you are thinking, your thinking a few people wont make a difference on your bottom line. I suggest you think about the 17 people whom I have convenced to boycott your product, each one of them knows more than a couple of people to convince and then those people know others and so on. You see how this will become a huge problem for your

Countless animal cruelty cases would go undiscovered if observant witnesses didn't come forward to alert authorities. “Implementing the cruelty laws is a necessary dynamic to ensure that individuals that unlawfully transport, famish, abuse, neglect or abandon an equine will be charged with animal cruelty.” (Equine Advocates, 2015) It is essential for individuals within a horse community to be educated about the signs of equine abuse and neglect, the course of action if it is suspected in addition to heath factors that commonly affect the weight of a horse. A simple yet effective approach to enlightening each household in a community, would be to mail an informative brochure a to every address in the community. Being alert of what animal to

In a world where one hundred fifty billion animals are killed yearly, the same question of these animal’s rights are debated relentlessly. Whether for religion or moral values, activists banded together to form anti-cruelty groups to stop these murders. As time passed, groups emerged and started to campaign against animal testing for research. With the goal of abolishing these tests in mind, orginizations looked to the public in order to convince legislatures to abolish using animals in biomedical labs. Thus, activists exercised their rights given by the first amendment; Using the press, assembly, and freedom to gain support and help the movement go viral.

Kia Motors is a company that sells the Kia Soul, an electric car. I started noticing people driving these cars a few years ago after seeing the company’s commercial. The commercial contains dancing hamsters with fun lights, music, and colors. This attracts people and gets them thinking that if they buy this car then they will have fun too. The car also comes in different colors and is designed in a streamlined shape to give it a futuristic look. This is a great strategy not only to sell the product, but also to help the world “Go Green.” A part of the company’s philosophy is, “As considerate citizens of the world, we want to make exemplary and sustainable contributions to the environment.” Electric cars are made to help stop pollution.

The Animal Welfare Act, passed in 1966, establishes guidelines for the protection of animals used for research and other purposes, defines the requirements for facilities housing those animals, and outlines the procedures for inspection and maintenance of those facilities by government entities. This paper explores the pros and cons of the act as well as the effectiveness of the guidelines and their enforcement. Finally, it makes several recommendations based on the evidence presented.
