I think animal cruelty is so much worse than being bad. I do absolutely love animals, i love going to the zoo/safari parks and when i go to Spain i always go and see the dolphin/sea lion shows over there.
I think it is truely disgusting that animals are not looked after and not fed, left in awful states, they may be animals but dont they have the right to be treated at least with some care and compassion, many of us have pets at home, if you have a pet you look after them, however some people feel the need to neglect their animal, get their into fights, abuse them, use them for drug smuggling.
http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/quincy/2010/04/mspca_investigating_animal_cru.html This article tells about a family who want justice when they found their cat covered from head to toe in petrol, who could do that to a cat or any animal it is discusting and really upsets me that humans could treat animals so badly.
If you cant look after a pet or dont want the pet try and find a shelter of some sort to have the pet, its not difficult, do it before you start abusing the pet, i could never hurt an animal i have a golden labrador who i love to bits and would never hurt for all the money in the world. Although, saying about taking animals to shelters such as the RSPCA, i was shocked that the RSPCA are having to cut costs and so will be less likely to be able to have animals in, meaning more animals being abused and left to cruely die.

Animals need help to stand up for their rights, they cant do it themselves they need animal lovers to fight for their right to live a life without being subjected to pain and cruelty. People who carry out acts of violence and neglect on animals should have bigger consequences for their actions.
"The Act introduced tougher penalties for neglect and cruelty, including fines of up to £20,000, a maximum jail term of 51 weeks and a lifetime ban on some owners keeping pets. Enforcers such as the RSPCA have more powers to intervene if they suspect a pet is being neglected." BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/animals/overview/latest.shtml
People who know animals are being tortured/hurt/neglected are as bad as those who are doing that to their animal, they could stop that animals suffering trying is better than doing nothing.
Oh my god… I completely and utterly agree. Animal cruelty is disgusting. It’s a disgrace that someone can feel good about beating up a defence-less little animal. It’s awful! I have a little jack Russell called Millie, and she is my world…I could not even imagine hurting her, and if anyone ever laid a finger on her they would severely regret it! We rescued her, because somebody had abandoned her and moved away…how could someone do that…heatless or what? There are so many places you can take pets that you can’t look after anymore, isn’t that better? Or maybe they’re frightened of being judged…who cares…abandoning pets is just wrong. FULL STOP!
ReplyDeleteI mean we all heard about that little girl whose dog had its head smashed in by some youths. What’s that about, did it make them feel good?
And at work, a customer told me, she rescued her dog, because somebody nailed it to some wood by its paws and kicked it until all its ribs were broken. WHAT THE HELL!
These people must have something fundamentally wrong with them in order to do that. It’s awful and needs to be stopped NOW!
