According to a 2006 study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence owners of dogs considered “vicious” like the Pit Bull were more likely to have criminal convictions of aggressive crimes, drugs, alcohol, domestic violence, and firearms. There is a great deal of organizations that help this bullied breed as much as they can. One of these organizations is Hope for Paws, a non-profit organization that helps rescue abused and neglected animals. Hope for Paws is also responsible for creating a huge network of rescuers all over the world. Rescuers upload their impacting videos to the network for the world to see.
What is Breed-Specific Legislation, you may ask? Breed-Specific Legislation, more commonly known as BSL, is a regulation that is directed towards one or more specific breeds or dogs (Welss 2001). Many have argued that BSL is taking away their Constitutional rights and freedoms; but do dogs have the same rights and freedoms as people? Animal lovers and owners of Pit Bulls and other dogs affected by BSL would tell us yes that we are taking away from their rights and freedoms and that this is racial profiling against these animals. Others that are pro-BSL and/or have been strongly affected by these dangerous dogs say that there is not enough done to keep the general public safe from these vicious animals and that there needs to be harsher laws.

Slaughterhouse and Factory Farm Cruelty and Neglect Animal cruelty may be defined as “deliberate abuse or simply failure to take care of an animal.” “It is where people do not provide adequate care for animals in their charge.” (animal neglect law and legal definition). Common slaughterhouse and factory farm methods include both animal cruelty and neglect. sixteen billion animals are killed every year to meet the demand for animal products when at the same time, domesticated pets treated with the same manner as those in slaughterhouses and factory farms result in animal cruelty charges to the owners (cruelty to animals). Protective animal laws of livestock animals are different from those of domesticated pets. A factory farm is a large-scale industrial operation, housing hundreds or thousands of livestock animals, such as chickens, cows, and pigs, in extremely crowded conditions and treats them as inanimate economic commodities (what is a factory farm).
These comprehension skills would suggest that it is a species specific adaptation that assists in the communication between humans and dogs. The authors perform three different experiments to test if dogs were able to actually learn new words and cognitively associate those labels to specific objects. For their experiments the authors chose four Border Collies that had previous experience with associating labels to objects. The subjects had been trained by their owners to retrieve specific toys based on words assigned to each object, and
Veterinarians will consult with ranch or farm owners regarding animal production, housing, and feeding; also they will vaccinate against and test for diseases.

It was first featured back in 2007 on television. It featured Sarah Mclachlan talking about animals being abused and neglected. Something that makes this commercial very effective is that the director provided photos and videos of animals in distress or who have been injured. The face of an innocent animal who is frozen in fear automatically tugs at the heart strings and captures your attention. This is the ultimate goal of the ASPCA commercial.
Animal abuse has always been talked about in pop culture. One from time to time might see on the news or in person a group of activists who were protesting against animal testing. Animal testing for the most part focuses on testing new products such as cosmetics and drugs. The damage the testing does to the animals is mostly permanent and for the most part fatal to the animals. Another form of abuse that is permanent is slaughter.
Darryl Phillips Mr. Leggett English 4 28 April 17 Behind the Scenes In Animal Testing Animal experimentation is a serious issue that many people oppose, whereas others try to justify the inhumanity behind it. Because of the controversy surrounding this topic, it has caused much frustration in companies and labs that test their products on animals. There are currently many organizations such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatments of Animals) and IAAPEA (International Association Against Painful Experiments On Animals) that oppose animal testing and try to resolve this issue by providing people with knowledgeable information about what is really happening to these animals. Over one-hundred million animals die in labs worldwide every
Although some states have made the transition of making animal cruelty a felony, there are still some states where the cruelty charge only carries a misdemeanor charge.
