We’ve all seen the commercials about animal abuse with Sarah McLachlan singing “Arms of an Angel” and devastating images of animals who have been abused, and we’ve all been affected by it in some way.
Animals around the world have not done anything to deserve the abuse they put up with everyday throughout their lives. It is a painful and horrendous life to live and I don’t understand how people can treat animals this way.
Every hour an animal has been violently abused; but last year, thanks to the ASPCA, 3000 animals were rescued. However, there are still so many poor animals out there that haven’t been rescued and are still suffering as you read this.
Am I the only one who is absolutely sickened by the way people have been treating animals? I know I’m not, because there are so many organizations that help take in abused and neglected animals. The problem is that there is no way to prevent the abuse of animals in the first place.
What many people do not realize is that animal abuse is actually a huge problem that is only escalating; and the abusers of these poor, innocent animals are not getting the punishment they deserve.
The ASPCA is an organization that is on a mission to fight animal cruelty and help animals who have been abused and neglected. They have also noticed that the people who are violently beating, neglecting, and even killing innocent animals are not getting the punishment they deserve to get.
The ASPCA has a page called Top 10 Ways to Prevent Animal Cruelty, which has a lot of informative ways to help animals that are in need. Number 6 on that list is “Fight for the passage of strong anti-cruelty laws.” This is where it is important for people to understand that the only way to prevent people from abusing animals is to make the laws stronger so they will not want to risk it.
If there were stronger and more effective laws against animal cruelty, then a large amount of people would think twice about ever hurting an animal.
