One Rolling Stone story titled “Animal Cruelty is The Price We Pay for Cheap
First off i have a beef with People for the ethical treatment of animals (PETA). This volenteer organization likes to spread fear to the media into knowing that animals are being consumed by people or the mistreating of animals. But the irony of PETAS organiation is that their protesting leads to many deaths of animals to prove a point, as long as animal meat is not consumed by humans. But when PETA gets involved with trying to compare hunters and poachers with the same purpose, thats when hunters like me must educate the…
“This is horrible! I can’t even watch this!” Those were my immediate thoughts the first time my eyes were opened to the inhumane animal cruelty on factory farms. Factory farming enables mass production to supply the demands of today’s society but also enables the cruel treatment of animals. We need to end the cruelty and abuse that these animals have to endure at the factory farms because it causes loss to the business, reduces the quality of the product produced, and endangers the health of those who buy the product. We can promote humane treatment of factory farm animals by prevention through education, by enforcing humane laws by being an example of humane animal treatment, and by donating and/or volunteering at local humane law enforcement agencies.…

Animals are constantly being slaughtered for our own selfish eating habits, today people are more worried about their social media fame then what they’re putting into their bodies and the process that it takes to get to our plates. An author Nicholas Kristof, wrote “Animal Cruelty Or The Price Of Dinner?,” published in 2016 in the New York Times, and he argues that while the public are raising a riot about a dog getting abused by his owner, while millions of baby chickens are getting slaughtered everyday for our food and no one seems to care. Kristof starts building his credibility with reputable sources and personal facts, citing from his own research and conventional facts, and successfully discussing his own emotional appeals; however, his attempts to appeal to the readers’ emotions weaken his credibility and ultimately, his argument.…
Animal abuse is a topic that most people are aware of in this day and age. But to clarify this is not going to be a speech appealing to the pity of Sarah McLachlan's song during animal cruelty commercials. Believe me this topic is truly sad, but its gets worse when you look into the current problems. I will elaborate on what is currently being done. The SPCA is a very large benefactor in stopping animal abuse as many of you probably know by their numerous commercials asking for donations and public awareness but they cannot take this entire burden on their shoulders alone. The type of animal abuse I would like talk about is specific to farm animals. This is a particular topic that many people do not consider. The example i am going to use first is the life of a cow and then elaborate on chickens. A female cow on a dairy farm is repetitively impregnated, again, and again for the production of milk. Hundreds of cows residing on thousands of dairy farms across america are artificially inseminated to constantly produce milk for our consumption. After a time of nine months the cow gives birth to a calf, within hours or a day the calf is taken from the mom and transported to a veal…
Because animal cruelty has had such a negative impact policy makers have decided to act in favor of protecting our animals. The Animal Welfare Act (AWA), enacted in 1966, protects animal lives as it argues that they are equally as important as humans. The AWA grants the animal the right to positive quality of life while being used for research purposes. The notion of animal rights is “the idea that some, or all, non-human animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives and that their most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings” (“Animal rights”). As humans, there are certain laws and securities we are afforded to protect us from harm and experimentation.…
In today’s society there is a fine line about what is considered cruel and what is not. Hunters do not believe what they do as cruelty to animals, whereas a non-hunter would say it is indeed cruelty. There is not one form of animal cruelty that is considered worse than another. All forms of animal cruelty needs to be addressed. This organization can help everyone to understand what is considered animal cruelty and what is not. ASPCA can help individuals in a professional setting to spread the word about animal cruelty and the steps that companies or individuals can do to participate in fighting for animal rights. Giving a company and their employees the opportunity to participate in an organization as important as the prevention of animal cruelty can, and will help the company grow as well as helping the…

Animal rights are essential because in many ways they are just like humans, they are proven to have emotions and have families just like us, therefore it is unethical to abuse the animals in ways that we know is not right to do for humans. Due to animals having limited to no rights, it’s our duty to make a change and make people and schools aware of animal cruelty. Citizens of the United States have the ability of Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. With that kind of power, we the people can make a difference or change for the better. However, there are limits and boundaries to the First Amendment.…
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?…
The power of an advertisement can have quite a big effect on some people. By focusing on their desired audience, salesmen and women can lure their customers into buying their product. Sarah McLachlan’s BC SPCA animal cruelty campaign advertisement evokes empathy towards abused and suffering animals making one feel guilty if they don’t call and help with the cause through visuals, audio, and text.…
All animals have rights. Unfortunately, these rights are perceived to be to some degree because of the traditional belief that animals only have instrumental value. According to Tom Regan’s essay Case for Animal Rights, all animals have moral value. If an animal has the ability feel pain, they should have moral consideration. This is a utilitarian view, which focuses on the suffering and/or pleasure of beings as morally valuable. The subject of animal cruelty has existed for a multitude of years, and has only worsened through technological advances and meat industries, and the scientific world.…
Wouldn’t life just be better if animals are treated fairly? Open your heart and mind to the suffering of animals. Haven’t you just had enough of animal cruelty? Well I have! Do you believe Animal cruelty should go in Room 101, well I do?…
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an organization led by Ingrid Newkirk, fights for the rights of animals all over the world. According to PETA (n.d.), its main goal is to give “attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry”. However in the year 2009, the animal rights organization produced a billboard campaign that went beyond its mission statement.…
The US National Institute of Health spends $14 billion out of their $31 billion annual budget on animal researching(Humane Society International; Conlee; US National Institutes of Health). Animal testing has become a very controversial topic to discuss. Experimenting on animals is cruel because even though there are alternative ways to test people still believe that testing on the animals is a better way to do things. Acts of cruelty against the animals, and the fact that animals are different from humans seem to be big issues in the controversy. There are alternative ways to test for products other than testing the animals. There have been horrible acts of animal cruelty that violates the Animal Welfare Act’s laws, and the last…
