Animal Abuse Essays

Every 60 seconds an animal is abused. Cats, dogs, horses,and many other animals are neglected and tortured, yet some people do nothing about it. Animal cruelty is a travesty in our world that must be detained. Every year millions of animals suffer because of humans. Whether it’s abused, forced to fight or used for threatening life testings. One of the worst things is that there are many things people could do to help but instead choose not to . There should be a stop to this because all animals are living creatures just like us and deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation.

Dog fighting is an extremely cruel thing happening right under our noses. Dog fighting is a sadistic practice that should be banned. Dogs everywhere are being abducted and stolen and forced to fight. Dogs involved in this horrible practice are raised in isolation, spending most of their lives in short heavy metal chains. These evil people feed their dogs drugs including anabolic, and steroids to enhance muscle mass and aggressiveness for them to win fights . These poor dogs are being raised in this sick environment making them unhealthy, they are starved in order to trigger survival instincts and aggression. Being forced to exercice to the point of exhaustion, starvation, beating, and harsh punishments.

Most dogs that were used for dog fighting that have been found are pitbulls having their ears cropped off and tails docked, to minimize the animals body language and limit areas that other dogs can grab. It is heartbreaking knowing that people like watching dogs being forced to rip each other to shreds in a fight to death for ‘entertainment’. Sometimes after losing a fight they might be abandoned or even murdered. Dogs are the mans best friend they are not born for this awful cruelty. They are highly social pack animals deserving love and attention and exercising in a good environment with dogs or human guardians. Everything has been tested on animals from lipstick, shampoo and dish soap to the white ink on an M&M. Research by Cruelty Free International and the Dr Hadwen Trust says that at least 115 million animals may be used in experiments worldwide each year (Cruelty Free international). Innocent animals around the world are being tested from head to toe. It is cruel and inhumane to make animals go through all this tests, they can feel pain and suffering too like humans but they can’t speak and stand up for themselves. I can not comprehend how scientists can do some of the things they do to animals, for example a vivisection.

A vivisection is the cutting into or operation on a living animal, usually for scientific research. Not only is this wrong, but I do not understand how a person could do this to animal and not have any guilt. Furthermore innocent animals are being injected and force feeded potentially harmful substances just so products for humans can be tested. There are even some experiments that the animals are made to die as part of the test one of them is for botox another one is vaccines and some tests for chemical safety. This is unfair for these animals their lives are just as important as ours are. Some people assume that just because they do not have the ability to say what they feel and have an opinion about the situation, means that they can take advantage of this powerless animals.

Animal testing is cruel, there are other not harmful and more effective ways products could be tested. For example sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues, also advanced computer modelling techniques which are called silico models. Silico models refers to computational models of biology, using this method you can test drugs without any animal. The silico model is human relevant which means it uses human cells.. It is done by using models that can be better to predict human situations. They use chips, for example a breathing lung chip, and it mimics the breathing human lung. Using silico models is not only a much easier and less expensive way to test products but it is also much more alternative and reliable way to test drugs instead of putting animals in danger.
