Animal cruelty

many activists have stepped forward in order to acknowledge the problem. Simultaneously Animal Cruelty in factory farms, slaughter houses and other suppliers of meat is being addressed as well as fought. Recently Peta (an organization that stands solely for the ethical treatment of animals) released a billboard along route to a beach in Jacksonville, Florida in a campaign to address both obesity and animal cruelty. The result was an add stating “Save the Whales. Lose the blubber. Go…

Nome, Alaska. It is indisputable that the Iditarod is an extreme race, but only the best of the best can achieve the finish line. With all of the many paws helping, the Iditarod dogsled race is absolutely not a form of animal cruelty. One reason the Iditarod isn't animal cruelty is because of the preparation behind the program. For example, they train almost everyday for at least a year (“How to Train”). The dogs train by pulling a board and adding weight by weight, upon mile per mile. This…

Severe animal cruelty is a serious issue that is commonly thought to be an issue of the past – but is it really? Animal cruelty, even though it has decreased significantly over the past century, is still rampant. Through the use of hundreds of thousands of zoos around the world, those who have claimed to be stopping the capture and abuse of millions of animals have allowed it to go by unnoticed and even supported by the public. From premature death and bad health to unnatural habitats and the…

Animal Abuse There are a lot of facts and studies about animal abuse and most, if not all lead to connection with other types of abuse. People do not know all the types of abuse or what they mean. The effects on the animals are long term and can be severe. People do not know all the laws that there are against it. Whell people we will find out. There are many types of animal abuse that are out there today. Simple neglect is probably one of the top forms of abuse because of how easy it is to…

Cruelty is defined as a callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain and suffering. There are many reasons why people dish out cruel words and none of us can say we are completely innocent of doing so. In Tennessee Williams's play A Streetcar Named Desire there is, once again, no denying the acts of cruelty allotted through the scenes. In the play both Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski commit acts of unforgivable cruelty, but Stanley is by far more cruel over all. Blanche’s cruelty…

The Problem of Animal Cruelty In March 2015, a cat was found with electrical tape tying his legs together. This instance of animal abuse occurred in Regina, Saskatchewan; a place we call home. Bruce Almighty had sustained many injuries to his legs, including tissue loss and the loss of eight toes. He endured many painful surgeries and had a long rehabilitation process. Abuse and neglect of animals is a large issue that happens every day around the world. It happens in your country, your…

Animal Lives Matter Animals suffer everyday. Whether it is dehydration, starvation, or lack of attention, these are all leading factors into animal abuse. Animal abuse occurs all around the world. Typically it is something people will turn a blind eye towards because it is not a human life being threatened; it is simply ‘just an animal life.’ Animals are crucial for our universe, not to mention they are capable of being lifelong companions. Dogs should not be used as a way to get cheap leather…

going to be cruelty because the judgement of others is impaired, but will there always be truth? My definition of cruelty is any amount of suffering or pain causing done for pleasure. Truth to me is something that can be backed up with a fact or reality with absences of deception. Kant believes that cruelty to animals is justified in cases where the benefit to outweighs the harm to humans. Kant defines truth as a statement or belief that can be defended with facts. O’Brien has seen cruelty, and…

The United States Humane Society estimates that more than 40,000 people across the country buy and sell fighting dogs and are involved in dogfighting activities. But authorities say those in dogfighting circles also are involved in a number of other crimes, including narcotics trafficking, illegal gambling and murder.[25] In August 2006, a suspected dog fighter in Texas bled to death after he was shot by intruders who apparently intended to torture him into revealing where he had hidden…

Another form of animal cruelty is something I had never heard of until recently. It is called crush videos or a crush fetish. It doesn’t sound too bad until you read what it actually is and then your head will explode. The Wikipedia (2016) definition is, “A fetish and paraphilia in which one is sexually aroused when someone crushes object, food, and sometimes small animals with their body, usually under their foot, or when crushed oneself.” If you thought sexual deviance was bad, this is off the…
