has traditionally been defined as the illegal hunting, killing or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.

Since today many people do not take this subject very seriously, as if it would be if it was happening to humans. “Human beings cause habitats loss by converting natural landscape to urban or agricultural landscaped and through pollution, mining, draining, and deforestation. Hunting can also drive species to extinction, as has occurred with several famous extinct species...” (Extinction and Extirpation).Animal cruelty does not necessarily have to do with the animal being physically torture.

Currently these bills did not succeed because the felony was lowered even thought it might have been high.

Asia (Santiago Castro): There aren't many Asian countries involved in animal cruelty, but Asians look for any kind of animals, to try to make themselves medicines and treatments against diseases. It can be a threat to animals in danger of extinction, Making a future with few kind of animals all around the world. Animal cruelty make animals live in a life of agony and misery. Asians do not see the good things animals do for our planet, without them, food like pollen and milk will disappear, and life will be little by little getting worst. China and Japan are the countries that most mistreat animals worldwide.

The most common form of animal cruelty is abandonment of animals by heartless owners that treat them like they are a piece of trash. Animals that are neglected by their owners roam around the streets and eventually die due to starvation or some kind of disease. Animals are not something that cannot be thrown away so easily, because they have rights as well and we need to treat them the

We, as humans, mistreat the animal population. On a smaller scale, the human population wastes domestic and wild, animals for medical testing, for their fur, and for entertainment such as dog fighting. These things may not seem to be globally threatening, yet the constant waste of certain species of animals and the destruction of an animal's natural habitat will lead to the endangerment and eventually the extinction of the species. Furthermore, many people are unaware that the world is currently in the midst of the largest mass extinction in history. The human population's use of domesticated and wild animals is both horrific and dangerously frivolous.

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.

Millions of animals are illegally smuggled into the United States each year; this produces grave consequences, resulting in the possible destruction of fragile ecosystems. Equally important is the suffering that animals face when they are impulsively bought, just to be discarded when they become too big a burden. Finally, when exotic animals are held in private residences human safety and health are in jeopardy. There is no denying the magnificence of a wild animal, but what if it is removed from nature to be made a pet in a cage?

This, I feel is a violation to animal rights and is a cruel way for these animals to have to leave this world. I disagree with the activists who believe that the way to keep animal populations down is to euthanize these poor animals. Nothing good could come from the slaughtering of these animals. Fostering large numbers of animals in communities is an overwhelming task, but there are many solutions to this problem. The euthanizing of animals is wrong and all shelters should switch to a no-kill policy.

Animals, for example, are usually stolen from their natural habitat and sold in the black markets for large sums of money. Removing animals and/or plants from their natural habitat affects the ecosystem, ruins the food chain and risks driving those animals and plants towards extinction (FREELAND,2010). The wildlife trade is driven by the demand of the consumers. To the traffickers, receiving huge amounts of money for providing a commodity that does not cost them much is a very tempting offer for them, especially for those in desperate need of money. Hence, traffickers tend to hire workers to do the hunting and this is accomplished with the help of organized groups.

Illegal wildlife trade is the buying and selling of endangered live animals as pets/performers. The problem has become so severe that conservationists have made the term empty-forest syndrome to describe habitats that remain standing, but no longer have animals in them. Animals are going extinct due to humans and most people do not care or choose to ignore it. (time.
