Another issue that has been discussed long since is cruelty to monkey as the part of _Topeng Monyet_ or Masked Monkey show. In this street performance, the monkeys are forced to entertain crowds for money by wearing masks and other outfits to imitate humans. They are also forced to ride mini bicycles, sit on tiny stools and even play dead. Perhaps, it seems okay for some people because this is part of traditional culture. However, the cruelty to those monkeys actually happens worse behind the shows. Besides exploiting, many handlers also treat them so badly. The monkeys often live in pitiful conditions, are riddled with disease and forced to live in small cages. Furthermore, metal chains…
In todays society many human right activists want fair and equal rights for their own being, however when it comes down to the animals wellbeing many are unaware about how they get treated. Animals have little rights in the world but there are many bills out there to trying to protect the animals life and its life in our future. Many people are trying to standup for the innocent animals that are locked up in cages, overbred and even forced to perform. Only if more of the population knew how animals were treated there would be less worrying about themselves and more on the animals that don't have a word to say.…
Animals are beaten, neglected and forced to live out their days with no hope of survival. Animals feel so much pain when they are being abused by their owners; it’s disgusting to think a person would abuse a poor innocent animal, when it’s done nothing wrong.…
There are extreme cases of animal abuse every day. In England, on three different occasions, cats were cooked in microwave ovens. One of these incidents was in 2010, when a cat named Roxy was put in a microwave oven for 10 seconds, and then shoved into a laundry dryer, yanked out of it, and dunked into a bowl of water. The whole incident was filmed by two teenage boys and a middle aged man, who were sentenced for animal cruelty. Luckily, the cat survived. In 2008, a man had a falling out with a dog owner, and decided to torture the dog as an act of revenge. He and his friend took the dog to a park and recorded themselves slashing him with a knife and garden shears, amputating two of his legs, severing his nose, and then decapitating him. Reports say they laughed the whole time (Goad, Jim). Lastly, there have been videos circulating the internet showing dogs walking on their hind legs. While many people find this cute, no one knows the true story behind it. These dogs are tortured and beat up to be trained not stand on their hind legs. The videos showing them being beat up by their owners are still on the internet, but many don’t want to hear that side of the story. These incidents happen very often, but not much is done about it; people do not get more than a few months of jail time for torturing animals. Most of the time, they just get psychiatric…
Good morning, teachers and fellow students. Imagine if you were beaten for no reason, forces to do something you don’t want to, and left to die. This is how many animals are treated every day. Nobody should do this to other animals, and it must be stopped. People should be kind to animals because they’re sensitive, just like humans. If an animal is abused, it will try to defend itself which can result injuries for both humans and animal. All animals should be treated equally, animal abusers should respect animals instead of abuse them.…
The first time I heard about the topic “Animal Abuse” come up was really sad. PETA came to one of the livestock shows and were trying to tell us what we were doing wrong, but in reality we were treating the animals with love and respect. I have participated in all of these events and have seen how the animals get treated. I believe there is nothing wrong with the way they get treated. Most animals actually get treated better than some humans do. There are many society practices that people believe are cruel to animals but are not. Rodeos, showing livestock, and factory farms do not show animal cruelty.…
Animal cruelty is not only the horrific things that are being done to the animals, but it also includes not properly taking care of them. According to an article in the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Debbie Jugan states “Most of the laws against animal cruelty can be summed up in one phrase: common sense. It is simply common sense to take care of the animals we human beings keep captive. They must be provided clean, fresh water on a daily basis. They must be fed a quality diet that meets their nutritional needs. They must be provided adequate shelter, protected from cold and heat, wind, rain and snow. They must…
Animal abuse happens all around the world. Different types of animals are abused and a diverse group of people abuse them. Hurting an animal is not right; some animals cannot even defend themselves from humans. Abuse can happen in urban and rural areas. Some surveys suggest the average person who abuses animals is male and under 30 and the average person who hoards animals is female and over 60. The most reported animals that are abused are dogs, cats, horses, and livestock. The most abused though was dogs and the most common type of dog was a pit-bull (“Animal").The majority of the United States animal abuse comes from animal testing. It is horrific seeing news footage of animals being killed. It is also horrific that some of your tax dollars could fund some experiments that kill animals here in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency requires by law that if companies want to make a claim on their products it must be tested to ensure it is true. Things like shoving dogs into enclosed rooms where they cannot escape to test pesticides on them and testing fluoride on lab rats where they eventually killed are examples of…
Animal abuse is a topic that most people are aware of in this day and age. But to clarify this is not going to be a speech appealing to the pity of Sarah McLachlan's song during animal cruelty commercials. Believe me this topic is truly sad, but its gets worse when you look into the current problems. I will elaborate on what is currently being done. The SPCA is a very large benefactor in stopping animal abuse as many of you probably know by their numerous commercials asking for donations and public awareness but they cannot take this entire burden on their shoulders alone. The type of animal abuse I would like talk about is specific to farm animals. This is a particular topic that many people do not consider. The example i am going to use first is the life of a cow and then elaborate on chickens. A female cow on a dairy farm is repetitively impregnated, again, and again for the production of milk. Hundreds of cows residing on thousands of dairy farms across america are artificially inseminated to constantly produce milk for our consumption. After a time of nine months the cow gives birth to a calf, within hours or a day the calf is taken from the mom and transported to a veal…
Animal cruelty is a pressing subject in today’s society. Even though we use animals for their fur, entertainment, research and as food, we have to do it in a humane way that minimizes pain and suffering towards the animal in use due to animal rights laws that have been enacted. Small organizations such as the ALB (Animal Liberation Brigade), CAFT (Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade), COK (Compassion Over Killing), FoA (Friends of Animals), FFA (Fight For Animals), IDA (In Defense of Animals), LCA(Last Chance for Animals) MFA (Mercy for Animals), and larger more well known organizations like the WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals), ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and the Humane Society of the United States help to prevent and rescue victims of animal abuse. Animals are usually abused due to the fact that they cannot speak about the wrongs done to them and they cannot call out for help. Not just animal abuse is wrong, but any sort of abuse is immoral overall.…
An organization called the Animal Legal Defense Fund has sponsored a petition that raises the awareness and calls for increased protection for the rights of animals. An excerpt from the petition briefly touches on how “animals are defenseless against exploitation and abuse by humans.” Alongside, it also informs us the objective of the petition that “through the Animal Bill of Rights, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is working to show Congress a groundswell of support for legislation that protects animals and recognizes that, like all sentient beings, animals are entitled to basic legal rights in our society.” In our society today, animals are brutally abused, treated unfairly, neglected or have experiments conducted on them. This bill is pushing for a basic set of rights aimed at animals to protect them, although many people disagree. The petition, I believe, could change a lot in the world today. I agree with the defense fund of passing this petition for animal rights and that all animals should be treated as equal as humans. The Animal Bill of Rights can stop animals from being abused, experimented on, and innocently dying.…
We all have an idea of what animal cruelty is but how much are you truly aware of this harmful abuse? Everyday animals are being beaten, neglected, and forced to struggle for survival. They are sometimes left in unsanitary conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live their days without the compassion they deserve. Some are found and rescued given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. Animal abuse affects us in many ways: it’s bad for our animals; it affects not only the animal but those who witness it. These animal abusers are criminals. To grow as a nation we must fight for these abused animals’ rights. It is up to us to speak for the animals that lack a voice, who will, if we won’t?…
Animal cruelty is like a disease, it just can’t stop. This is why animal cruelty needs to stop. Just imagine your eyes being blinded, your skin being burnt off of your bones, your hair being ripped off your legs or your arms being torn apart. These animals have no say in what they want. Even though they can’t speak it’s obvious as to what they’d…
1. ATTENTION GETTER: Millions of animals are abused each year. Over a million of these animals are abused or killed just due to the involvement with domestic violence. Despite animal cruelty being a felony which can result in jail time for over 15 years and 500,000 dollars in fines, it is still an issue which occurs on a daily basis across the United States. It is important for these animals to not go unnoticed, which can be achieved if society became more enlightened and educated on the topic of animal cruelty. (Pacelle, 2011).…
People that abuse animals have usually been abused themselves when they were younger. These people are mostly males. But when it comes down to it, people just never give animals the chance to speak for themselves like we can as people. Animals have rights just like we do and we just walk all over what they have. People need to understand that like humans, animals have the capacity to feel pleasure or pain. If you go up to anyone they can tell you that unnecessary harm to an animal is unacceptable. The law states: “neglecting a pet by depriving it of food, water, or medical attention is a misdemeanor crime penalized by costly fines or in some cases jail time” (Animal Rights, 8). There are more severe cases of abuse towards animals, for example torture, and the charges for this is a felony and can be punished up to a minimal of five years in jail. Laws towards animal cruelty did not come about until the 1800s, but public displays of abuse were very common during the nineteenth-century in England. This consisted of carriage horses being driven until they collapsed from exhaustion; calves being packed in carts with their feet tied together; cattle and sheep were “prodded” with sharp iron hooks or whipped to death at the whim of slaughterhouse workers (Animal Rights, 8). There are also some forms of amusement that include dog fighting, cockfighting, and…
