Welfare trap

Everyone should be treated equally and with just. If we can treat our domestic animals marvelous as if they were our kids; therefore, why can't we do that of other animals. The Bill of Rights was made for the reason that we felt that we weren't treated equally, does that mean animal rights just fly out the window? Having these rights protects us from being treated unjustly, yet it doesn't matter if we're treating an animal unjustly, because they don't matter. If they don't matter, most people…

Since the beginning of time, all different types of species have developed into unique survivalist. Natural selection has allowed many species to use their survival instincts against their predators, or allowed them to become more skillful (since they’re preys to some other animal). Let’s use humans for example; we are part of the endotherm family, naturally we generate heat within our bodies, and we eliminate heat, when we pant or sweat. This skill helps us to run longer distances, when our…

Humans are inconsiderate and selfish and inflict these actions on suffering animals. People are standing up for the rights for animals and proving that if they are living life, with feelings, they should be treated with the same respect as humans. The prevention of animal cruelty started and became an important movement in the early nineteenth century. Activist are fighting to stop experimentation, poaching, abuse and much more that animals are wrongly put through. Animal rights are rights…

Dog’s Just Dog’s Once upon a time there was a dog a very lonely dog. That dog also lived in a dog pound, and that’s where the story begins. Dogs, dogs, dogs they're always out and about.

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…

I went to help him up and out of concern for his owner one of his dogs came from behind and bite me on leg. He had two big Golden Retrievers. The dogs grip was so tight that neighbors had to…

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…
