Let’s all be Friends with Animals
The relationship of human and animals can be heart-whelming, as well as a lot of responsibility to take care of your pet. In a relationship, the animal acts as a best friend to the human, and the relationship could last a lifetime. Although owning a cat or a dog might be compatible, there is a lot of bad cases of animal cruelty. Examples such as dog fighting, horse slaughtering, even verbal and mental abuse could scar the animal for life and is also indecent of what an owner could do to a poor animal in today’s society. The big important question for society to ask them is to why would anyone do such a thing to an animal? How could they prevent this cruel abuse from happening to animals? Society has to act in this to stop all harm against these animals otherwise the population of animals might be endangered, and the future generations of people might think this cruel act of abuse as normal. If people take a stand, they could all prevent people from endangering animals and put a stop on animal abuse. This world they all live in should be handled with love and care to one another. And hurting others and abusing animals is not a great way to handle any type of situation at all. Many examples of human-relationship love and abuse could be traced over to the subject matter of Wayne Parcelle’s book entitled “The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them”. Using Specific stories told in “The Bond”, Parcelle illustrates examples of cruelty and suffering that animals face and calls for a responsibility to act against such cruel behavior.
A first example of animal abuse could be traced to the unfortunate case of elephant abuse. As told in the Huffington Post, an elephant collapsed after performing at a Ringling Brother’s circus on Sunday, August
