Animal Cruelty: What They Don T Tell You
What They Don’t Tell You

“Acts of violence or neglect perpetrated against animals are considered animal cruelty,” according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Recently, there has been a lack of attention toward animal20abuse and very little study has been made into the relationship between domestic violence and pet cruelty. Animals for store bought meat and dairy products bought go though harsh labor, abuse, and unfit lives. This cruelty has been overlooked for an extended amount of time, numerous animals are being treated inhumane, and are living under obscene circumstances. It is significant to see these problems, work together, and stand up for living animals that can not speak for themselves.

    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.…

    The video I chose to analyze is a 2007 ASPCA animal cruelty awareness and animal welfare commercial. It features a series of small clips of dirty, wounded animals in crates, cages, and what appears to be, medical rooms, all of which focus on the animals eyes. While those clips are being shown, the song ‘In the Arms of an Angel’ by Sarah McLachlan is being played in the background. Photographs with several statistics are being shown.…

    Animal cruelty can either be deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal. It really doesn’t matter what type of animal it may be it can be a farm animal, a pet, or even a wildlife animal. Any of these victims can suffer terribly. A person that has emotional problems may choose to beat, shoot, or stab the animal, or even set them on fire. When an animal is neglected they may not be given food, water, or shelter, and vet care. It our society it is very important to give the proper care to an animal if the animal isn’t well taken care of it will suffer consequences or even may die.

    “This is horrible! I can’t even watch this!” Those were my immediate thoughts the first time my eyes were opened to the inhumane animal cruelty on factory farms. Factory farming enables mass production to supply the demands of today’s society but also enables the cruel treatment of animals. We need to end the cruelty and abuse that these animals have to endure at the factory farms because it causes loss to the business, reduces the quality of the product produced, and endangers the health of those who buy the product. We can promote humane treatment of factory farm animals by prevention through education, by enforcing humane laws by being an example of humane animal treatment, and by donating and/or volunteering at local humane law enforcement agencies.…

    Although the equal rights of animals is in question, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) effectively advocates for the well-being of animals by providing health care assistance and legal advocacy, searching out the problem to find a solution that is potent, and rescuing them from danger. The ASPCA does compile available resources with intentions to better the lives of animals. Statistics substantiate that the numbers of animals entering shelters in a year's time does not counterpart with the number of animals leaving the shelter in the same year’s time. For this reason, the ASPCA sets out to not only find, but also to resolve the conflict. The organization has…

    I am so sick of hearing cases on the news, like "Man from Atlanta is facing penalties in Georgia in which a puppy was cooked in an oven" or "Brothers in Atlanta are being charged for putting a puppy in a gas range and turning the gas on." Animal cruelty is one of the most common types of violence in the United States. It is not as accustomed to hear such heartbreaking cases as these. Some of the most common forms of animal cruelty are: Animal testing and experimentation in laboratories, lack of owners care and attention, and using animals as a way of entertainment. Now, lets take a closer look at these three forms of animal cruelty.…

    Speech Animal Abuse

    • 698 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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…

    In this paper, this author intends to introduce to the reader to two particular pieces of legislation that were created in response to the epidemic of Domestic Violence abuse in the United States. The first piece of legislation that I intend to discuss was enacted at the Federal level and it is known as the “Violence Against Woman Act” of 1994. (VAWA). The Violence Against Woman Act was a major milestone for this country in recognizing that Domestic Violence abuse of woman was not only a problem but also a crisis. The second piece of legislation to be discussed was enacted by the State of Maine intended to shield animals from harm, abuse, or death in Domestic Violence cases. Maine was the first state in the U.S. to enact such a law. It was Senate Bill 353. Often time’s abusers will use victim’s pets as a way to torture them psychologically and exert even greater control over them by way of fear and intimidation.…

    Animal abuse is when someone inflicts pain or harm upon an animal such as not giving them their basic needs (food and water) to beating them. In between 5 and 7 million animal companions enter an animal shelter nationwide, every year (www.aspca.org), and within 50 miles of Hayward, CA, there are 170 animal cruelty cases reported (www.pet-abuse.com). Imagine what these innocent beings that cannot speak out to let the human know they are in pain feel. Animals need us to speak out and help reduce their suffering instead of making their lives worse. Animal safety needs to be improved by creating more laws to protect animals from harm. Animal cruelty is shaped by two forms of abuse, different types of animal abuse, opinions on how animal cruelty happens, organizations that help fight for animal rights, and ways to report it.…

    Animal rights are essential because in many ways they are just like humans, they are proven to have emotions and have families just like us, therefore it is unethical to abuse the animals in ways that we know is not right to do for humans. Due to animals having limited to no rights, it’s our duty to make a change and make people and schools aware of animal cruelty. Citizens of the United States have the ability of Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. With that kind of power, we the people can make a difference or change for the better.

    • 16 Pages

    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.…

    Animals are looked upon as just food, fiber, research and labor. Dogs are companions, pigs are bacon, what’s the difference? Cruelty on animals has been a worldwide issue for years, activists and protests groups have come together and bash the consumption of animal products including fur and leather. There have been over eight million animal species discovered and continues to grow, those animals deserve to live just like any other human being. Even going to the circus is considered animal cruelty. People who do not consume any animal products is called veganism. Veganism in the United States has increased by over thirty percent. A horrendous amount of fifty six billion animals killed each year for human consumption. Ethical, economical and…

    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?…

    Essay On Animal Cruelty

    • 648 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Because animal cruelty has had such a negative impact policy makers have decided to act in favor of protecting our animals. The Animal Welfare Act (AWA), enacted in 1966, protects animal lives as it argues that they are equally as important as humans. The AWA grants the animal the right to positive quality of life while being used for research purposes. The notion of animal rights is “the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings” (“Animal rights”). As humans, there are certain laws and securities we are afforded to protect us from harm and experimentation.…
