The video I chose to analyze is a 2007 ASPCA animal cruelty awareness and animal welfare commercial. It features a series of small clips of dirty, wounded animals in crates, cages, and what appears to be, medical rooms, all of which focus on the animals eyes. While those clips are being shown, the song ‘In the Arms of an Angel’ by Sarah McLachlan is being played in the background. Photographs with several statistics are being shown.…
The ASPCA believes that the successful prosecution of animal cruelty offenders should include fines, jail sentences, and counseling to prevent additional acts of cruelty ( Guiding Principles, 2016). They believe that the people who commit criminal acts toward animals should get a punishment that will match the offense. The assumption that they are making is that there is a correlation between animals and human violence. The are also assuming that if someone is abusive to animals, then they are abusive to humans as well. This is not a fair assumption. There are certain people who have criminal pasts and they find a new start in life by taking care of pit bulls or horses. Animals can help them become better humans. As well as helping them learn love and…
A Veterinary Technician works as a skilled technical assistant to a veterinarian, or to another biomedical researcher or scientist. Veterinary technicians do not prescribe, diagnose, or perform surgery, and they always work under the supervision of a veterinarian. Thus being said, a veterinary technician career is a natural step for an aspiring veterinarian wanting to test the waters. Most veterinary technicians find employment in private veterinary practices doing traditional clinic work, but veterinary technician career opportunities are also available in other fields, such as teaching, biomedical research, and zoo wildlife medicine.…
The mission of the American Humane Association, as a network of individuals and organizations, is to prevent cruelty, abuse, neglect, and exploitation of children and animals and to assure that their interests and well-being are fully, effectively, and humanely guaranteed by an aware and caring society (How American Humane Association Began, 2013).…
The Anti-Cruelty Group is split up into different divisions to break down the range of complications in the world of animal abuse. The seven areas of the group are Field Investigators and Response, Humane Law Enforcement, Forensic Sciences and Anti-Cruelty Projects, ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center, Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team, Government Relations, Legal Advocacy, and Strategy and Campaigns. A specific crew known as Field Investigators keep in contact with businesses, organizations, and law enforcement in order to acquire a net of safety to provide the needs of a situation. They also handle confirmation from crimes as well as the people involved. The Forensic Science and Anti-Cruelty Projects Group accords tutelage to inform the citizenry of animal rights. The ASPCA Rehabilitation Center focuses on animals that need help becoming gregarious. These are pets and animals that may have come from harsh situations or environments. The focus is on overcoming trauma. The Behavior Team works closely with the Rehabilitation Center to suggest a proper plan for these animals. Government Relations takes action to contrive laws and bills concerning the well-being of animals. Then Legal Advocacy comes in and supports and assists the cases. The ASPCA accommodates a group dedicated to raising…
Within this research paper is going to be the discussion of the history, requirements, such as skills and training needed, and aspects of the career explored. The career that was chosen to be researched, and I am personally interested in pursuing is that of an Animal Care Technician. If someone appreciates earth’s beautiful creatures and desires to help them, if they don’t mind getting a little messy, working hard, and have the itch to be depended on, then this may be the right job for them as well. Let’s do a basic analyzation of the job of information that may be wanted or needed to be known, for those considering applying for the job.…
Red Bank, NJ –Friday morning after suspicious allegations of animal cruelty and brutal murder of a pet dog were made by a local neighbours police searched and examined the storage locker of Ed Boone. “We came upon a more sinister and grotesque display, I could not even comprehend what I was looking at when that door was lifted”, said Officer Paul MacKelly one of the members on the investigation team.…

Hurt. Lonely. Abused, Unwanted. Those are some of the reasons we have an animal shelter is for the unwanted or abused animals in or near our county. Our animal shelter is running low on food, supplies and money that they need to take care of the animals, they are asking for donations to help them care for the animals. The reason you should help the animals and donate to the shelter is because one you could be giving a little kid a new best friend, two you could be saving the lives of many animals, three the shelter wont have to look for other shelters to relocate the animals.…
Animal abusers are heartless people who don’t deserve to live life with their crimes unnoticed. Lisa Weisberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, "If you treat animal abuse as a $50 fine and a slap on the wrist, people won't take it very seriously” (Kenna 1). Charging the abusers only a small fine is just not strict enough. This form of punishment does not fit the crime or prevent it from happening again. American people need to recognize animal abuse as the serious crime that it is and the consequences of these actions. The United States should establish a national animal abuse registry in order to decrease acts of animal abuse.…
There are no real statistics to date on the vast amount of animals being abandoned each year, yet it is evident that it has become an issue of life or death for many of them. Animals released into an environment in which they are not familiar with, will have a lower chance of surviving. Many organizations are doing their best to help decrease animal abandonment. The Humane Society works with millions of volunteers to ensure the best environment suited for abandoned animals. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, also known as the ASPCA, is another organization that serves to decrease animal abuse and enforce arrest towards careless pet owners. Among these organizations, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, is responsible for creating awareness and putting an end to animal cruelty. There are other ways an animal can be a victim of animal cruelty, without actually being harmed. Animal Hoarding, a practice of animal lovers, is ironically another related topic of animal cruelty. In some views, this is an attempt to save the animal, but many other views differ, saying this solution will only cause problems. Even though there are lots of organizations that help prevent animal cruelty and abandonment, there is…

Animals are beaten, neglected and forced to live out their days with no hope of survival. Animals feel so much pain when they are being abused by their owners; it’s disgusting to think a person would abuse a poor innocent animal, when it’s done nothing wrong.…
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…
