Animal cruelty is a rising problem in many states and many people don’t realize it. What we can do to help lower the increasing rate of animal abuse is to make punishments stronger and stricter. These punishments should not just be a slap on the wrist and someone saying “that’s not right”, that just shows them you don’t care. Together we may be able to make a big difference and stop animal cruelty. Together we can make the punishments stronger.

Most people who have accused of animal cruelty only get charged with a minor misdemeanor. A minor misdemeanor is just a warning not to do it again; of course, most people do not take this warning seriously. For example, an Egyptian man, Ahmed Fathy Faudtaye (A.K.A. Ahmed Mido) threw a poor defenseless dog off the roof a high building. After three weeks of suffering from horrible injuries the dog finally died. This man was only charged with a minor misdemeanor, but because he was only 17 he wasn’t charged, he only has to pay a 30 dollar fine when he turns 18, even though they had several different animals showing extreme sign of abuse. The law for the state of North Carolina is “If any person shall intentionally overdrive, overload, wound, injure, torment, kill, or deprive of necessary sustenance, or cause or procure to be overdriven, overloaded, wounded, injured, tormented, killed, or deprived of necessary sustenance, any animal, every such offender shall for every such offense be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (b) If any person shall maliciously torture, mutilate, maim, cruelly beat, disfigure, poison, or kill, or cause or procure to be tortured, mutilated, maimed, cruelly beaten, disfigured, poisoned, or killed, any animal, every such offender shall for every such offense ...

... your local shelter or animal rescue organization. 10- Try to start a neighboring watch program (if you can) [ASPCA]. If you were going to protest, you could protest against animal abuse or for stronger punishments to try and get the punishments to be stronger. Or you could possibly debate about why you feel this needs to happen, but if you debate, debate with someone with a high ranking to try and prove your point.
Together we can make punishments against animal cruelty stronger. If we try to actually help these poor innocent animals, we may be able to stop it. Animal cruelty is wrong and unfair, but maybe now that you see that you will help these animals and stop it. These animals don’t deserve this, all they want is love.

  • Case Study: The Inhumane Treatment Of Animals

    To raise awareness I would get Chico city council aware of this problem happening on campus. Hopefully then it would spread to Butte County City council and from there to more and more universities across the nation. There are two interest groups that would take interest in my solution; American Humane, and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The American Humane interest group does many things that could potentially affect my policy area. They not only improve the lives of pets but also working animals and farm animals. They are one of the top veterinary experts across the nation. It was the country’s first national humane organization that’s both dedicated towards protecting children and animals. That’s why I picked American Humane because if a dog doesn’t get the treatment it needs, it affects humans and other animals. They can help us spread awareness about the amount of dogs that go missing, injured and abused by college students by sending out a set of guidelines of how to take care of your pet the humane way. I find this group important because they have the same pint of view as me. The humans and animals should have equal rights, and both deserve the respect they need. The second interest group, ASPCA, This Interest group believes that all animals are entitled to kindness and respect and should be protected under the law. It’s the first humane

    Many people may argue that animal cruelty laws should not be stricter because abuse to animals and abuse to humans are on an entirely different level; however, the numerous studies connecting the violence to animals with the violence to humans are indisputable proof that lenient animal cruelty laws are not only unethical but also dangerous. Ask your conscious what is the right thing to do, and when it tells you, write to your congressman and ask them to fight for helpless animals’ rights, and if you join organizations such as the ASPCA, perhaps together we can successfully end the suffering.

    People seem to look at animals as a source of their own entertainment. When people go to the zoo or the circus, many do not seem to wonder if the animal is happy or not. They only worry about being entertained after all, that is why they paid to see animals in cages or doing tricks. People may not see it, but animal cruelty does not only happen in homes it also happens in circuses, zoos, and labs. It can take place anywhere, and it can happen all over the world. Many people use animals as transportation, food, and entertainment, and not once do they look at the animal’s face and think, “is this right?” No, instead they kept treating animals as if they are some sort of object that belongs to them. Animals do not have a voice to speak up for themselves to let people know that they are being treated wrong. Many people tend to overlook animal cruelty because to them it does not seem like the animals are being hurt. Animal cruelty is anything that can cause harm to the animal, whether it physical or psychological. It occurs for many different reasons, but none of them are right. It is a worldwide issue that seems to be overlooked. People should educate themselves about animal cruelty because it can help to decrease or eliminate it.

    Most people are either unaware, or refuse to look at the facts concerning animal abuse. Animal abuse is the immoral and necglectful treatment that threatens the life on an animal. This unethical behavior is often expressed through corporate methods of producing products made from animals. The food and beauty industry are notorious offenders of the welfare of living beings. Evidence has shown that there are well known, multi-billion dollar industries that have been torturing innocent and voiceless animals in secrecy all around the globe. Humans often benefit from these creatures through commercial means, but think little of the agony these animals must endure from the bloodshed. If society is not willing to give up it's exploitative tendencies towards the lives of animals, big and small, then stricter laws need to be enforced defending the animals, and consumers have to be made aware of the atrocities that have been taking place.

    Animal abuse is a travesty in our world that must be stopped. Every year, millions of animals suffer because of human actions, directly or indirectly. Whether it’s abused dogs and cats or even mistreated circus animals, their suffering is as real as it would be if it happened to us. Even animals who are raised on farms simply for human consumption should not have to suffer. One of the worst parts of humanity’s role in animal abuse is that there are easy ways for people to help that they are either ignorant of or simply refuse to do. There are many examples of animals who are abused by humans, but there are also ways for people to help prevent and put an end to animal abuse.
