Did you know that 1,654,545,000,000 (1 trillion, 654 billion, 545 million) animals die each year from animal abuse? I picked this topic because there is a lot of animal cruelty in the world. I think that this topic is really important and a lot of people mistreat animals.

If pets aren’t treated for heartworm, they may only live 5-7 years for dogs and 2-3 years for cats. Most of abused animals will also have behavior problems such as not being housebroken. Abused animals can also have temper problems like not eating in front of you, and running when you call.

    In order for people to reduce the chance of a incident to happen and lower the risk of aggression is to pass laws that will regulate the capture and captivity of marine mammals. Some countries around the world are considering to ban the capture of aquatic animals because it’s recognized as a cruel practice from humans to confine and restrict freedom to very smart, and wise creatures. For instance, a congressman from Southern California named Adam Schiff announced on November 6th of 2015 that he would introduce a new bill that would end the exploitation and breeding of orcas.
