Why is it happening? What would you do if you saw someone hurting an animal? Most of you probably wouldn’t know what to do. Why do animals get treated this way? Animals have it really unfair; they can’t fight back against humans. It’s like a bee trying to fight a wasp. The bee will always lose but will still scratch the wasp. I will mainly discuss cats and dogs being abused. Sadly, most animal abusers and killers are teenagers. Why do people abuse, hurt, and mistreat animals?
There are many different types of abuse, but the main ones are physical and mental, including neglect and mistreating animals by not providing them with enough food.
Yes, physical abuse is the main kind, but right now, if you were to think of abuse, what do you automatically think of? I straight away think of physical abuse. Here are some other types of abuse from the website: neglect, animal testing, and dog fights where people bet money on the outcome.
According to “animal-cruelty-facts-and-stats,” there are approximately 70 million dogs and 74 million cats in the world, where men and women are assaulting animals every minute. The most common animals abused are dogs, cats, horses, and livestock.
The sad thing is that some people don’t even know they’re abusing an animal. Many people don’t know that it is cruel. Some people don’t even realize that animals need shelter from wind, rain, and sun. They may keep a dog in their yard with no shelter from the elements, allowing their pet to be cold or really hot from the sun, or they keep their dog on a short chain all the time.
I know it’s sometimes hard to meet all your pet’s needs, but try. Just try. Try giving them the attention they need, try to give them the food they need, and most importantly, give them the love they need. Let’s stop animal abuse in all ways.
