Is
Animal Abuse Okay?
Imagine
your pet or if you don’t have one your favorite animal getting brutally abused.
Either for neglect or for a “moral” purpose. They are bleeding, burning,
starving, or hurting in whatever punishment they are given. They are
defenseless and there’s no sign for help. Obviously they cannot talk but they
can do actions right? Yet, if they react or show any sign of rebellion they are
determined to abusive maltreatment of a human being. This animal may be from a
cute puppy to a wild rhino that are mistreated in many ugly ways. Animal abuse
is clearly inhumane and unjustifiable.
Animal
abuse is broken down into two main categories which are active and passive. Active
abuse is intentional. In other words, meaning they kill and abuse animals for a
specific desire. Such as, poaching an innocent animal for their tusk, fur,
skin, or other valuable organs to a human being. The most ridiculous part of
this sickening process is that the animals are savagely killed for a human’s possession.
In China they are skinned alive. It takes some animals more than 20 minutes to
die. In addition, over 100 million animals like rats, dogs, and mice are killed
in United States laboratories for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetic testing
every year. This is very cruel to use these animals in such objective ways.
Passive
abuse is the other main category known as neglect. This may be starving and
recklessly not taking care of the animal. The majority of passive abuse is used
towards dogs. They are carelessly neglected for no reason at all and left to survive
in whatever will they still have. The Human Society of the United States report
that U.S. shelters receive 6-8 million dogs and cats. It is inhumane of how
many of these animals are left like a piece of trash and to die with no real
existence of themselves. Not only dogs experience neglect but cats and other
household animals do too. They may not be humans but they are life’s beautiful
creatures of existence.
I literally
hate any kind of animal abuse whatsoever. I hate for the fact that they are
used as possessions and carelessly taken care of. They are literally like human
beings. They breathe, eat, and have emotions. They may be the happiest and most
hearted creature I’ve ever seen. Animals are truly amazing creatures of this
world. They may also be a human’s best friend for crying out loud. I am just
deeply disappointed with what humans have created for these precious animals. For
example, we humans are the reason why many animals went extinct or are on the
verge of extinction. Whether animal consumption, poaching, habit destruction,
and the list goes on. I adopted three beautiful dogs who have a background
history of animal abuse by their previous owners. I’m very happy to have them
and do not regret one single bit of having them in my life. Humans should just
take a step back and realize the cruelty and abuse towards animals.
Punishing an animal in any
merciless act is absolutely inhumane and out of the question. This cruelty
should not have existed and should not continue. Animals are like children of
this life. Innocent and may be difficult at times but they continue and
complete the life cycle. Maybe one day animal abuse will stop and not exist.
But for now image your pet or favorite animal sleeping silently with no worries
and no abuse.
