free from fear and pain. Animal abuse can be intentional harm or failure to take care of an animal. Either way, the animal can suffer tremendously. Animal abuse is a problem that many don't pay attention to. This is because people are not being informed of the kind of abuse that pets go through.

Would anyone ever hurt their best friend on purpose? What about man's best friend? Dogs have the highest overall number of animal cruelty cases each year. There have been many laws put in place and movements toward prevention, but it still happens on a daily basis. Dog fighting, dogs used for sports, and animal testing, are all forms of animal cruelty. There are over 40,000 active professional dog fighters in the United states today. In 2014, the DOJ pursued ten dog fighting cases and charged

Animal Endangerment occurs in different species as of today. Each day there becomes a higher risk of animals becoming extinct.I believe that if we take it upon ourselves to make certain changes, not only will we will be preventing animal endangerment but also saving the animals lives.

This essay will present a thesis that public awareness can affect animal rights in a very real and meaningful way.

Cats vs. Dogs Can I have your attention please, are you an animal lover? Have you ever thought about taking home one of America’s most popular pets? Choosing between two animals can be very difficult without knowing all of the factual about them. Owning a pet leads to a lot of responsibilities such as training, grooming and making vet visits. Some people believe that cats can’t be trained to do tricks because they respond differently than dogs do. Training a cat isn’t as easy as training a dog but
inhumanity.”(Shaw) When we see an animal abuse commercial, we get sad for a little while, but then it leaves our minds. Just because people don’t see it everyday doesn’t mean that it isn’t prevalent in today’s society. There are many organizations that are fighting for animal abuse laws, but people don’t believe that they are necessary. Most animal cruelty laws have been introduced to legislatures, but have not been supported. Laws that protect animals from cruelty, prevent cruel actions from happening

Throughout the story, we see how humans mistreat and abuse animals for their own gain, whether it be through harsh treatment, neglect, or using them for labor and entertainment.

Historically, the mistreatment of animals has been a common practice, as humans

on donate. I am talking about the advertisements made by the America Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The ASPCA is a non-profit organization with a mission of ending animal cruelty (“The History of the ASPCA”, ASPCA).

million homeless animals in the United States are victims of euthanization as a means to keep the population under control (humanesociety.org). Not just sick or old animals are subject to these humane deaths, but healthy, young ones that deserved a good home. Many veterinarians tell their clients to get their furry companions neutered, due to this over population. However, people use inadequate excuses such as breeding to leave their comrade intact. Thus, dogs and other animals should be neutered
ASPCA and the Power of Persuasion Advertisers all have one goal in common, that is an ad that is catching to a consumer’s attention. In today’s fast paced society there are so many selling products and charities. As I exam the advertisement for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (ASPCA), I will show how they use the pathos, ethos, and logos – also known as Aristotle’s Theory of Persuasion.

Since animals from stores are from breeding mills that means the mills are being supported to stay in business from anyone who buys a puppy from stores. Also since more people are buying from stores, less people are buying animals from a shelter therefore those animals have a higher chance of dying.

An animal is abused every 10 seconds (SOURCE). The abuse needs to stop. These animals are with us for their entire lives, while they are only with us for a part of our life. They are being tortured in experimental labs, at farms, and even at houses. Animals are getting abused all over the world, and if we work together to help the Animals Rights Movement, we can help animals everywhere. First off, yes, animals can’t speak or reason ,but they still suffer and are sentient like anything or anyone
Animal Cruelty As years pass many and many animals are being saved from all the cruelty and abuse. We have reached a point in which animals have legal protection to protect the animal’s welfare. Moreover, animals yet are still being victimized by abuse and neglect. There are people who neglect them, and even corporations who have performed cruel acts on these creatures, yet they are protected by the simple excuse that it is for science. In addition, there have been recent stories of cruelty, whether
judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.” This famous quote applies to Dr. Randy Malamud, an animal ethicist who believes strongly in the idea that zoos are no place for animals. In the interview “Please Don’t Read the Animals: An Interview With Dr. Randy Malamud,” conducted by Professor Anna Schachner, Dr.Malamud clearly explains that wild animals should be kept in their own habitats.
