There are 1,920 cases of animal abuse reported every year in the United States. Of those reported, 60% of these cases include dogs, 18% are cats and 22% of the cases are other types of animals. People need to join together and stop animal cruelty. There are numerous different forms of animal cruelty that include puppy mills, animals in lab experiments, and dog fighting.
“Puppy Mills can have 10 to 1,000 dogs in their mills at a time.” according to ASPCA. Not all puppy mills are inspected therefore it is not clear to know the right average. In many cases, dogs are housed in crowded and unsanitary areas and do not receive the care of a veterinarian. Female dogs are bred at every opportunity and are not given the proper time to recover
Dogs are raised in isolation and spend most of their lives in heavy metal chains. Some dogs are fed anabolic steroids to receive more muscle mass and encourage aggressiveness. In some cases narcotic drugs are even fed to them to make them more aggressive. Dogs have their tails cut short and ears cropped to have less chance of another dog grabbing at it during a fight. The worse part is the dogs have their tail and ears cut by their cruel unprofessional owner. During a fight, dogs are contained in a 14 by 20 square-foot pit. Dog fighting can last from a few minutes to several hours. Dogs can suffer from blood loss, broken bones, puncture wounds, and crashing injuries. Dog fighting is not always to the death however, if you are the losing dog it does not look splendid for you. The losing dog is often killed by their owner or the “sport” or just thrown away like they are nothing. Give police dog fighting posters so they can go and stop it before it start. Try to make the laws in a state more punishing when dog fighting is involved. Dogs are fantastic beings that should not need to put their life on the line for people’s
