Animal Cruelty Animal cruelty is the infliction of suffering or harm on animals, for purposes other than self-defense. It can be harm for specific gain, or even just to rid you of responsibility. There are many kinds of animal cruelty. Animal cruelty exists as neglect and abandonment, slaughter house torture, puppy mills, fighting dens, animal testing, fur trapping, and entertainment. Animal cruelty comes in many forms and has many grave consequences.
III. Problems and improvements to felony laws: A. The problem with felony animal cruelty laws is this you have to be able to show intent. Apparently, in most cases judges and lawyers can't show intent. Well, when you have a battered animal and you can't show intent, there is something wrong with the justice system.
This is a very excruciate form of animal abuse, and is one of the worst known to man. Stopping animal abuse such as puppy mills will help a lot of animals in need and here are some reasons how: Refusing to buy dogs that are shipped from puppy mills. Most of those dogs that had been shipped from puppy mills would be ill with a disease. A lot of the dogs that are trapped together in a small area carry diseases and pass it on to other dogs. With no taking car of these poor dogs have no choice to have what’s coming, and to help them you would have to see the dog to get them.
In these tests, the animals have chemicals forced down their throats, into their eyes and onto their shaved skin in order to document their reaction to ensure the safe use for humans” (Zuazua 2017). Along with the animals, it puts a damper on humans, because people hate seeing such a thing happen to innocent animals. Most family households include some sort of animal, whether it is a dog, cat, fish, bird, etc. Also, almost everyone that has a pet thinks about animal cruelty in a bad way, because they would hate to see their babies in danger. If a person owns a pet, then they probably (and should) enjoy being around animals, which is why pet owners are good people to inform, since they will take the most action right away.
We see our pets as members of the family and cannot remember life without them in it. The treatment of animals says a lot about us and other people because “he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealing with man” (Rachels). Cruelty to animals and violence towards people share common characteristics, for example, both types of victims are living creatures, feel pain and experience distress, and may die from their injuries. People who abuse animals are not only dangerous to their animal victims but may also be hazardous to
Each day hundreds pass away or more appropriate term murdered. Australian puppy mills are far worse than cruel and there are hundreds of words to use to describe a puppy mill. Thousands of dogs kept in small cramped cages that hurt their feet . Their own feces replaces their fur along with the feces others above and in the same cage. Surrounded with filth with no escape.
This is a cruel, inhumane act to murder innoncent animals for our own narcististic ways. Each year, more than 40 million animals are killed for their fur: mink, fox, bobcat, beavers, raccoon, lynx, chinchilla, coyote, fisher, marten, muskrat, opossum, otter, skunk, weasel, the list goes on and on. Each piece of fur trim represents an animal that suffered and died; a full coat represents many animals. ("Delaware Action For Animals - ANIMALS KILLED FOR SPORT/FASHION."

Some companies have a strong belief that animal testing is essential in order to make sure that consumers are protected during the use of their products. For the fact that we allow this to happen in our world is pathetic, and it all comes down to pure selfishness’, an ugly trait in which human’s possess. How can it be rational to take the life out of something because it can’t show or tell someone if they’re in agony? Over the years there have been numerous amounts of companies that have stood strong on not participating in animal cruelty; realistically it should be the only way. Humans are at fault here; before it’s too late we must realize that each living creature has a choice and should never be taken away by pure
Does the wrongness of killing animals (human and non-human) depend on them possessing specific attributes? If the wrongness of killing depends on the killed holding particular attributes, do non-human animals possess them? (Here I will examine the latest research into animal mindedness.) If some (or all) animals lack the attributes that deems killing immoral, do we have any grounds to oppose their killing? If, as it is commonly claimed, there is a mismatch between utilitarian pronouncements and our intuitions when it comes to killing, does it pose a problem for the utilitarian perspective?
Animals welfare, not animal right Animals are used in many different scientific tests. It has remained to be a controversy in the past century. “Cruel” and “inhumane” are the two most common words to be used in describing animal testing. Animal activists question the necessity of it, claiming it to be an abuse to animal. They believe that animals should be granted the right against suffering at the hands of humans.
