The Importance Of Killing Animals

Improved Essays
In contrast, killing animals is not valid because it is cruel thing to do. First, some country kills many animals for ceremony by cruel ways. For example, they cut animals’ head while they still alive. They stabbed animals with no mercy. It is uncivilized festival. As Pickover says “the cruel traditions should not be admiration and respect because it is not a good culture” (Berger, S, 2009).
So, killing animals that brutal and inhuman is not an appropriate thing to do. In the ceremony, we must do the good thing such as prayer for god and ourselves. Killing someone on that day is not a good idea anymore. Why can we kill them like we are devil? We should not think that animals do not pain.
Animals have their mind like human. Nowadays, many

They just think that animals can find the new home in shelter. There are many ways that do not end in this way. Singer founds that “Killing a merely sentient creature (with a pleasant future) is wrong because it robs the animal of the pleasant future it would otherwise have” (Kagan, S, 2015)
It can be seen that we do not know that this animal may find a new lovely family and house in the future. If we kill them now, it is a wrong decision for them.
However, killing animal for sport is not acceptable. Why can human kill animals for fun or hobby on the suffering of animals? It is an act of cruelty. For instance, many hunters have so much fun to kill the wildlife by using powerful weapons and always take a photograph with the pitiful body such as elephant, tiger, or lion. Mitra explains that “Hunters kill the poor animals, not for food or anything else but for selling them as trophies” (2012). It means human only think of the honor. We do not care anything. We show people that we can kill them for gaming and

Everything is equal both human and animals. When we do something, we must get the same result. We must pay for the bad thing that we have done to people and animals.
Finally, it is a good thing to mercy on animals as Islam. This religion can refrain from eating pigs. Al-Albani shows that “If you had mercy on the sheep, then Allah will have mercy on you twice” (Sammer, 2017). It means if you can ignore to kill animals, God will give you mercy too. You will get good things for doing this. In conclusion, killing animal have both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of killing animals are used for food, out of suffering, and dangerous animals. These reasons are the important point that we can kill animals for surviving and helping them. In contrast, we should not kill animals for these following reasons: the cruel thing, the animal extinction, and contrast to religion. In my opinion, killing animals is not appropriate. If it is necessary to do for food or help them, it can do it. If you kill animals in anger or cruel action, I disagree in this point. Every living thing have value in their own. Human does not want to die while animals are the

    The animal world is full of violence and death. Animals constantly hunt and kill each other. That is what makes humans different, or at least in our own eyes. We, as a species, have developed rules to distinguish us from the rest of the animal kingdom. One of these rules is that we shall not kill. Animals, however, are creatures of instinct, and humans are creatures of conscious. Humans are intelligent. We think through everything we do. This allows us to feel regret. Our…

    Over the years of humankind, humans have always treated animals badly because people think of animals lower than them, but it has been shown that they’re much different than us and even Jeremy Rifkin explains that in “A Change of Hearts about Animals”. Animals are more like people than they first thought and should see why. It has been proven that animals have emotions like us and feel sad or happy. Animals also have shown their intelligence in tests that has changed our views in how they solve problems. They also have to be taught things that they never knew, just like humans. Animals should have rights for many reasons since they’re so much like humans.…

    It is perfectly acceptable for such individuals to eat meat. Protein is an essential asset to our health. Humans who must kill in order to live and be healthy may do so. However they must only hunt the quantity they need to satisfy their vital interests. Otherwise when you extend the killing or animals to more than you need hunting becomes murder which is morally wrong. Some hunter’s argue that hunting is an essential role in their happiness, and life would be miserable without it. If killing living, breathing innocent creatures provides you with happiness you should rethink life and experience different ways to experience joy. Another argument supporting hunting is that it keeps down the number of overpopulated animals. Hunting is an effective solution however we must keep in mind of what the most humane solution would be. Farmers often kill animals to prevent them from consuming their crops. We must remember that Earth was not made for us alone and we must learn to share our land with other living creatures. Shooting an animal is a last resort, many reasonable and justifiable actions should be considered before resorting to killing, for example barrier protection such as a…

    The ethical treatment of animals should be taken more seriously because of the cruelty suffered by animals at amusement events, factories and in the research field. Animals ethics is a term to describe the way the human reacts with the animal and how the animal should properly be treated. Many philosophers believe that since animals doesn’t have the moral judgement that humans have, then anyone can do whatever they want to do them because they don’t know right from wrong.
