Chapter Two:What is Animal Cruelty/Abandonment/Neglect?
7.6 million pets go to animal shelters every year because of people who abandon their pets. Also every 10 seconds, an animal is abused and abandoned according to petabandon.weebly.com. This is a result of animal abandonment, a major problem across the world. Animal abandonment is leaving an animal behind which might cause harm to the animal according to definitions.uslegal.com. Imagine you're a dog, and your owner just left you, for no reason. That is what around 7.6 million pets have to go through. Some animals that don’t get adopted and end up getting euthanized. Animal cruelty is a bad thing and needs to be stopped. Teen activists are trying to stop this animal cruelty but more people need to help in order to stop animal cruelty as a whole. Animal abusement is also a major problem.
Animal abusement is when people hurt animals on purpose. One form of animal abusement is dogfighting. Dogfighting is a gambling sport where two trained and bred dogs, fight to the death in a dirt with surrounding walls of wood. Over 16,000 dogs die per year from dog fighting only. Results can be severe bruising, deep puncture wounds and broken bones says humanesociety.org. Dogs often die of blood loss, shock, dehydration. One former dogfighter said “Miss Rufus spent most of the rest of the fight on her back and Bandit broke her other front leg high up in the shoulder, as well as one of her back legs, in the knee joint. The only leg she didn’t break she chewed all to h*ll. She had literally scalped Miss Rufus, tearing a big chunk of skin off the top of her head alongside one ear." according to humanesociety.org. Also children are present to these fights which is a bad influence to those kids and tells them that it is okay to abuse animals. Illegal drugs and firearms are found being sold at these events and even homicide is happening at these events. Dogs who are training for these fights are baited on running on a treadmill with an animal in a cage, some ears cut off (For other animals to not latch on) , dogs are injected with steroids, and food is injected with roach poison (A way to kill cockroaches) to make him taste
bad. In many states, animal abusement is illegal and you can be sent to jail, and fined for it. In fact, animal abuse is considered an offence felony. In California, if you cause animal abuse, you will pay a fine of $20,000 and/or be sent to jail for one year says straypetadvocacy.org. In Alabama, if you cause a class C felony(Intentionally hurting a cat or dog) can lead you to ten years in jail. Some statistics of animal cruelty are that 2.7 million animals are euthanized every year, 1.2 million were dogs and 1.4 million were cats. Another stat is that of all the dogs entering shelters, 35% are adopted, 31% are euthanized, and 26% of dogs are returned to their owner. As of cats, 37% are adopted, 41% are euthanized, and 5% return to their owners. 2.7 million animals are adopted each year which does not compare to the amount of animals going to shelters each year (The ratio is 7.6:2.7). According to aspca.org.649,000 animals are returned to their owner each year and with these ratios, the future is going to have a lot of sad animals.
ChapterThree:Why Animals get Abandoned
People have excuses for abandoning their animals. But no excuse is big enough to abandon these animals. The first excuse is allergies. A lot of people have allergies. But allergies is not an excuse to just leave an animal on the streets. If you have allergies, leave your pet at a no-kill shelter so the animal does not struggle. Another excuse is “I’m moving.”This is also a ridiculous excuse because you can just bring your pet with you. If you're moving to a place where pets are not allowed, then leave him in a no-kill shelter. If you just want to not keep him anymore, drop him off at a no-kill shelter. The next excuse is “He’s not cute anymore.”This shows that people don’t care about the animal and only got him because he was cute. If you get an animal only for it’s cuteness and not going to give it correct care, then you should not even have bought him. If you're not giving him enough of the essentials and not giving it your love, then you're neglecting the animal and should not take care of it according to www.peta2.com. Another excuse is “It requires too much attention.” This means that when you're going on a walk, you want people to notice you, not your dog. This shows that dogs have to much to take from you-like attention. The second to last excuse is “He takes too much time and effort.”This simply means you have better things to do than take care of an animal that you adopted. If you're not going to take care of the animal, then give it to a no-kill shelter The last reason that people abandon animals is “He has behavioral problems.”If he has behavior problems, take him to a dog trainer son he gets better behavioral qualities. if that does not work, try to tame him yourself. if that ,does not work, than give him to the local no-kill shelter if you really think he has no chance of having good behavior says prime.peta.org/. In conclusion, people have many excuses for abandoning their animals. If you really want to get rid of the animal, give it to a no-kill shelter. Many people don’t care about animals and their lives-but a teen activist named Faye Carey is trying to help these poor animls
