People Should Stop Animal Cruelty
Have you ever visualize yourself being an animal stuck in a tiny cage for the rest of your life? Have you ever visualize your skin being torn off alive? Imagine yourself being an animal living in this dangerous world, how would you feel?
Many of you may have under-looked the issues regarding “Animal Cruelty”. But do you know that during the past few decades the number of animals getting killed has exponentially increased every year, and there are less actions that have been taken? I have been in a situation where I saw people abusing animal without even caring. Every time when I see people abuse animals I would always wonder how do people feel harming these animals? Do they even know that animals have hearts and feelings just as we do? Some of you here may think animal cruelty is not, at all, a serious problem. It has gotten to a point where people are killing animals for countless purposes besides eating them. Do you know some people kill animals to make crayons? Ask yourself if a stick of crayon is more important than a life. This is an issue and, no one is doing anything to fix or change this phenomenon.
Besides crayons, animals are also manufactured into daily life products. For instance, almost everyone carries leather handbags with them everywhere. In my opinion, that's a waste; waste of money, waste of lives. A lot of people with good financial background enjoy buying these products to show off that it is affordable for them. We should rethink do we like these products just because it is pricey? or because it is pricey so we like them? Do you guys think owning a real fur or leather handbag is worth an animal’s life? Other than killing, humans also destroy animal’s habitat. Human’s destroy wild lands to build shopping malls, factories, amusement park etc. This is unacceptable. Just think about how you want your shelter to be like. Safe? Secure? Protected? Comfortable? Instead look at what we did to their homes.
Some people treat animals as if they have no pain or any reception to pain. Animals are born in a cage, grow up in a cage, die in a cage. That’s how a life of most animals goes. Imagine having that kind of life. Doesn’t sound enjoyable, does it? Animals need our help. It is finally time we care and take actions to protect them. We owe them. We are not the only living organism living in this world. The world belongs to you, belongs to me, and belongs to all the animals and living organisms. They have the rights to live, breathe, and enjoy this space as we do. This specific right to live is universal. Us, humans, should not be able to benefit more from this right than other species. EVERY living thing deserves to live the best lives.
