    As the wise man Edward Freeman once said, “These awful wrongs and sufferings forced upon the innocent, helpless, faithful animal race, form the blackest chapter in the whole world’s history.” In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Jeremy Rifkin discusses that animals are no different than humans. Being no different than humans means that someone or something is similar to a human being because of either their characteristics or similar body parts. Animals are like humans in the way that they are intelligent, affectionate, and skillful. Animals learn by their behavior as well as humans, however, the only difference is many animals are brutally abused.…

    On the article “A Change of Heart about Animals”, Jeremy Rifkin argues that animals should be treated humanely because, according to science, the differences between animals and humans are less than what we think. He believes that animals should be given the rights that protect them from inhumane treatment and human consumption. He is telling us that we have to give them the same rights that a human possesses. In affirmation to Jeremy Rifkin, we should treat animals humanely because they also have a heart that can feel pain and a brain that can think.…

    Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is the human infliction of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal. It may surprise some to learn that what most people would call animal abuse is often not defined as “cruel” and often does not have a harsh punishment. It is easy to tell when animal cruelty is occurring in neighborhoods, but many people could care less about animals being neglected in live entertainment. No animal should ever be neglected, but does an animal that can live in the house matter more than an animal that lives in a cage? Zoo and circus animals are being forgotten and their cruelty is often looked over because many think that those animals are only here for “our entertainment” and serve no other purpose.…

    Overall it has been proven due to previous research that children who are cruel to animals can be at risk of engaging in human directed aggression either in adolescence or early adulthood (Faver, 2010). The study found that the use of humane education programs in school reduced children’s chances of being aggressive toward animals and people, because the program taught them respect, kindness, and compassion toward all things, which resulted in them developing empathy of all things (Faver, 2010). It was also discovered that not only did the programs prevent violence but it also increased the chances of being able to detect and intervene in children exhibiting early stages of violence (Faver, 2010). Tardif-William & Bosaki (2015), also look at the impact on humane education, their study specifically looks at the impact of a summer based humane education program on school aged children’s relationships with companion animals. The 5 day program looked at promoted positive interactions between the children and animals in a natural setting, and overall it was found that…

    The United States lags behind in its anti cruelty measures for animals, compared to other developed countries. Critics of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) say that it doesn't do much because enforcement is poor, and there is little protection for animals. In addition, AWA exempts some circuses from these laws (“Entertainment Animals”). The American federal laws are vague and do not cover all the levels of cruelty. If an abuser is charged, under federal laws they can only be charged civilly which means fines, confiscating of animals, and service hours.…
