Cruelty to Animals Act 1876

RSPCA on the frontline for animals As a leading authority in animal care and protection, the RSPCA is mobilising the community to help the neglected, abused and unwanted animals. At a mere five weeks old, Felix and Dora were found shivering in a ditch alongside a road in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. A kind couple had spotted them and began slowly approaching the stray kittens. After successfully holding the sibling pair in their arms, they soon noticed there was something strange about…

Thousands of cases of animal abuse are filed each year, but less than a quarter of them lead to convictions (Friedman 34). Many of these cases filed are due to the use of animals in entertainment. Today, places like zoos, circuses, bull fights, horse races, and others use animals as amusement. These entertainment industries thrive on well trained and compliant animals, which is difficult to achieve. Trainers then use punishment and cruelty to train and care for those animals. Entertainment…

Chapter 2 Animal Abandonment Animal abandonment is a big problem. Most abandonment happens after abuse.Why not a lot people know. Imagine driving down the highway and seeing a beaten lonely hungry cold weak dog/cat.Awful right? That's what animal abandonment is. Not all animals are safe from danger in a shelter. Sometimes the shelters are the biggest enemy to lonely beaten abused and hungry cold weak animals. They give them a shelter and food for a couple days until the put…

Pitbulls.When I say this word there can be two things going on in your head. One, you're thinking of an aggressive and dangerous animal that is unpredictable or two, you are thinking of a lovable dog that is just misunderstood. These breeds have been used for many things like “bull baiting”, “rat-baiting”, and dogfighting. Pit bulls aren't as bad as they seem to be. They have a long rough history. These dogs come from two very obedient dog breeds. Some also think pitbulls may have locked jaws…

controversy over animal rights is one of the most argumentative in ethics and morality. Many people believe animals do not have rights, and that the people who support animal rights are liberals who need to find other outlets for their beliefs. Others feel it is our moral obligation to nurture animals as they cannot speak or act for themselves. Immanuel Kant’s view does not claim that it is permissible to cause pointless animal suffering, but he does insist that we have no obligations to the…

and the ASPCA Every time that the ASPCA animal shelter commercial comes on TV you instantly know that you are going to be heartbroken the rest of the day. These commercials show the horrid side of the animal shelter: abused dogs, starving animals, and cats scared for life from past events. After watching you feel the need to act and protect these animals in need. Sarah McLachlan and the ASPCA use pathos and connect to ones emotions to help fight animal cruelty by the music selection, the images…

chose to study the famous Silver Spring Monkeys case, which is one of the biggest animal- rights cases to ever happen and the first to be brought to the U.S Supreme Court. It involves the highly acclaimed animals-rights group PETA and Dr. Edward Taub from the Institute of Behavioral Research. During May of 1981 in Silver Spring, Maryland, Alex Pacheco of the animals-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) went undercover as someone looking for a job at the Institute of…

Animal cruelty is a worldwide epidemic that must be stopped. Animal abuse is when one hurts an animal or does not care for an animal as responsible as they should. With being a cat & dog owner I often find myself asking how people could be so cruel to animals that, humans domesticated and trained. Our ancestors did this deed to reduce labor and increase companionship, but their descendants took this advantage above and beyond. It’s against the law to be cruel to or harm animals in Illinois. Most…

Animal abuse is categorized in many different ways. Lots of humans don’t recognize it when it’s right under their nose. The signs that point to animal abuse are very obvious, yet many choose to ignore it. Constantly people are trying to rid the world of animal abuse, yet they themselves don’t speak up when they do see it happening. Animal neglect is seen as an animal’s caretaker failing to provide food, water, shelter, or veterinary care needed for an animal to survive. Animal neglect has been…

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…
