Rough
Draft
Have you ever thought
of rescuing an animal from your local animal shelter? Well chances are that
most animals in a shelter have been victims of animal cruelty.
There
are many types of animal cruelty which can be found anywhere and happen to
different kinds of animals, not just to dogs or cats and we need to become
aware of this and learn not just how to prevent it but also learn the facts
about animal cruelty.
Investigations into slaughter houses have
revealed that animals are also abused in factory farms. There were 20 reported
neglect cases involving cows and eight involving pig neglect. Animal
cruelty has many sources and can be traced back for many years. According to www.learntogive.org,
animal cruelty has many origins. In this website we learn that people have
found entertainment in abusing animals since ancient times. For example dog
fighting can be traced back to the 12th century. The British began
exporting their dogs to be used in fights against larger animals.
Cockfighting
has roots in American history with many of the founding fathers being fond of
this sport which is now illegal in all 50 states.
Another
source of animal cruelty is due to farming. The abuse of farm animals didn’t
show an influx until the early 19th century. Most farm animals are
forced to endure physical and psychological abuse. Most animals are given
steroids to enhance growth and antibiotics to fend off illnesses that are
likely to occur in the unsanitary conditions they live in.
According
to http://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-puppy-mills, puppy mills are also a source of
animal cruelty. A puppy mill is a commercial dog-breading facility that focuses
on increasing profit with little cost. The animal’s health is not of top
priority for people running puppy mills. In puppy mills, animals can spend most
of their lives in cages with no room to play or exercise. Puppies in mills are
usually found with bleeding or swollen paws, feet falling through the wire
cages, severe tooth decay, ear infections, dehydration, and lesions on their
eyes which often lead to blindness. Only 26 states in the US have laws to
regulate commercial kennels to prevent animal abuse and cruelty.
According
to http://www.paws.org/kids-animal-cruelty.html people are cruel to animals because
they don’t understand that they are actually causing pain to the animals.
People that have been abused themselves will abuse animals because they think
that is the only way to treat others. Some people don’t see animals as
creatures but they see them as objects instead. The worst type of animal
cruelty is when people know they are inflicting pain on an animal.
