The problem is gang members, drug dealers and dog fighters have been known to train these animals because it often has been claimed that the pit-bull and other “fighting” breeds are especially dangerous because of human breeding selection for physical and “temperamental” traits functional in pit fighting (Budiansky, 2001). . The media spotlights these incidents altering the perception of people whose only exposure to these animals is seeing them in connection with criminals. To these people outlawing so called “dangerous breeds” may sound like a logical solution. However, responsible dog owners are having their homes invaded and being forced to watch a beloved family member being taken away to be “destroyed”. Not because the dog had bitten someone or it was being used in illegal activity, but because it has been labeled dangerous for no other reason than being a pit-bull. Cities, counties and states all across the nation are enacting these pit-bull bans in reaction to highly publicized criminal activity involving these animals. Can you imagine enacting a ban on Pomeranians because a criminal was the owner of one?…
There are many ways in which people tend to abuse of animals. An example is neglect, meaning that between a pet and the owner there is a “failure to provide an animal with the most basic of requirements of food, water, shelter and veterinary care” (What). Dogfighting is another example. Dogfights are events when two dogs are put inside a fighting pit and are forced to fight until the other one is dead or is too weak to fight back. The fights are brutal and the owners abandon the loosing dogs with only a couple more hours to live because of its deadly injuries or inhumanly kill the dogs themselves. The winning dog owner gets a money price. Most of the dogs that are considered to not be good enough to be entered in the pit and be victorious are used as bait to train other dogs or as breeding dogs where they are constantly exploited. All of these actions that people inflict on the animals can make them become very scared of humans, other dogs and their surroundings causing them to be very…
Animals are other nation, they are not just other species. I am sure that if we stop wearing clothes from animal and take off animal from the menu of the restaurant, or stop having fun with animal, animal abusing will decrease. Humans and animals are in one big as I said at the beginning.…
Dogs are raised in isolation and spend most of their lives in heavy metal chains. Some dogs are fed anabolic steroids to receive more muscle mass and encourage aggressiveness. In some cases narcotic drugs are even fed to them to make them more aggressive. Dogs have their tails cut short and ears cropped to have less chance of another dog grabbing at it during a fight. The worse part is the dogs have their tail and ears cut by their cruel unprofessional owner. During a fight, dogs are contained in a 14 by 20 square-foot pit. Dog fighting can last from a few minutes to several hours. Dogs can suffer from blood loss, broken bones, puncture wounds, and crashing injuries. Dog fighting is not always to the death however, if you are the losing dog it does not look splendid for you. The losing dog is often killed by their owner or the “sport” or just thrown away like they are nothing. Give police dog fighting posters so they can go and stop it before it start. Try to make the laws in a state more punishing when dog fighting is involved. Dogs are fantastic beings that should not need to put their life on the line for people’s…
The first time I heard about the topic “Animal Abuse” come up was really sad. PETA came to one of the livestock shows and were trying to tell us what we were doing wrong, but in reality we were treating the animals with love and respect. I have participated in all of these events and have seen how the animals get treated. I believe there is nothing wrong with the way they get treated. Most animals actually get treated better than some humans do. There are many society practices that people believe are cruel to animals but are not. Rodeos, showing livestock, and factory farms do not show animal cruelty.…
Dog fighting hurts these dogs for doing what they learned while they were young. They are forced to fight each other and may suffer severe injuries or worse, even killed. If an animal doesn’t win a fight for its trainer the dog is abandoned or even killed brutally in public. The article “ASPCA: Dog fighting” states-“Although fight are not usually to the death, many dogs succumb to their injures later and losing dogs are discarded or brutally executed as part of the ‘sport’.” Legal and…

People who do such a thing should be prosecuted and receive for life sentence in prison. We’re not the only ones who have a life just because we have so many psychological skills; pit bulls have a life too. The sad fact of abuse towards pit bulls is not just hurting pit bulls; it’s hurting everyone who cares. Those who care are working extra hard for injured pit bulls. Do we really need more depressed people in this world? We shouldn’t make the world a big entertainment scheme; we should treat it like a gift; including everything in…
Animal cruelty can either be deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal. It really doesn’t matter what type of animal it may be it can be a farm animal, a pet, or even a wildlife animal. Any of these victims can suffer terribly.

Animal cruelty and interhuman violence has gone up since the beginning of generation X. Animal cruelty happens very often and sometimes it happens in front of the generations eyes.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”-Albert Einstein. Abuse towards animals occurs when humans cause harm to animals intentionally or unintentionally. Animal Cruelty during the Victorian Era is similar to the present day because people beat animals as punishment. However in the present day more people are hoarding animals as a result of being emotionally troubled rather than having a criminal motive, and people have started to stand up against abusive behavior towards animals.…
We all have an idea of what animal cruelty is but how much are you truly aware of this harmful abuse? Everyday animals are being beaten, neglected, and forced to struggle for survival. They are sometimes left in unsanitary conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live their days without the compassion they deserve. Some are found and rescued given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. Animal abuse affects us in many ways: it’s bad for our animals; it affects not only the animal but those who witness it. These animal abusers are criminals. To grow as a nation we must fight for these abused animals’ rights. It is up to us to speak for the animals that lack a voice, who will, if we won’t?…
Dog fighting is a cruel, heartless, “sport” that kills up to the tens of thousands of dogs every year. It is an activity that needs to be stopped immediately for the safety of our dogs.…
Animal cruelty can be anywhere and done by anyone. Many people think of animals, especially cats and dogs, as disposable. They get a puppy for the children for Christmas only to realize it is a lot of work that the children are not ready for. They forget to feed and water it, don 't take it for walks, and don 't take it outside to use the bathroom. The solution, abandon it or just take it to the humane society. They 'll get another when the kids are older. An animal that is used to being taken care of by humans cannot fend for itself when it is dumped. It slowly starves or gets attacked by other animals. Many people will shoot stray animals with bbs to chase them away from their property. The animal becomes hurt or aggressive…
