Decent Essays
“We know we cannot be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them, exploiting animals in the name of Science, exploiting animals in the name of Sports, exploiting animals in the name of Fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.”- Cesar Chávez. According to SISRS data base activities such as horse racing, dog fighting, and circuses cause animals to suffer and people need to realize that it is animal cruelty.

First, show animals are getting abused by their own equipment. To begin, (Sean Cockerham) from McClatchy- Tribune News Service states that horses are being abused with whips and chains if they decide not to perform at their shows. Jeannie McGuire says “that a quality that we love is also quality that allows people to abuse them,” and the animals tolerates the abusing that we bring upon them.

Firstly, being a long life pet owner I have seen two teen year old boys that decide that one day they wanted to play hockey with a baby armadillo that had happened to wonder into my neighborhood. The two boys had kicked and hit the armadillo all around the neighborhood and no one really decided to care what the two boys were doing to the animal until they hit the baby armadillo underneath my porch and I was outside watching my dogs play. I confronted the two boys and told them “You need to stop you could kill or hurt the little guy” they just started to laugh at me until I called animal control and the armadillo was saved and the two boys went with the cop. The teenage boys did not care that they were trying to kill the animal that was not even in its own environment and decide it needed to suffer for being alive. Secondly, I have seen two little kids beating up a dog that was stuck on a leash outside. The dog had brown silky fur that flowed in the wind and it had a couple black stripes on its fur making it look unique and gorgeous. The two little boys who look around 6 years old decide to walk up to the dog and kick and hit the dog for no reason. The dog did not fight back, it sat there and whimper and let the kids beat him. By the time that I saw what was going on and came over to stop the kids, the dog had a bloody mouth and the leash was wrapped around the dog neck I pulled the

    Human beings are only obliged to extend ethical treatment to animals only if they are endangered, domesticated, or abused. Sure one can raise the argument for Darwinism to take it’s role, but if humans have the ability to alter mother nature’s intentions, then why let it happen? Besides, every single plant, animal, or organism contributes to an ecosystem, and are either prey,predator, or producer and create an interdependence on one another for survival.
