introduction

What percent of the United States are animal lovers? There have been many incidents were animals are used to fight in order to get money. How human like is that? What people do not understand is that animals are living creatures as well and have feelings just like humans do. Where does the thought come from to be cruel to animals? I am a high believer of seeing is doing. This means that not just any random person is going to do something just to do it, chances are people are getting exposed to abusing animals from their parents or even friends. As time goes by, this gets passed on from generation to generation. I tend to prove that animal cruelty is a problem by using logos, pathos, ethos.

Animal Cruelty

What percent of the United States are animal lovers? There have been many incidents were animals are used to fight in order to get money. How human like is that? What people do not understand is that animals are living creatures as well and have feelings just like humans do. Where does the thought come from to be cruelty to animals? I am a high believer of seeing is doing. This means that not just any random person is going to do something just to do it, chances are people are getting exposed to abusing animals from their parents or even friends. As time goes by, this gets passed on from generation to generation. Abusing animals is something that younger children or adolescence tend to do. In doing this, many of their actions lead them into committing crimes when reaching the adult stage of their lives. Two thirds of the people reported the animal cruelty is a way to make the time go faster by just having fun with it. Where one fifth of the people do it out of anger, aggression, or even imitation. This greatly affects people such as real animal lovers, veterinarians (people who went to school for a long period of time just to help out animals that have been in these situations), and finally, it affects the animal itself. There have been people who have tried to prevent the entire animal abuse that has been going on which happens to be the government. The government has made laws in order to protect the animals being abused, but they are not strictly enforced like they should be. The reason for this is because if they were then no animal would get being tortured at this time. If the problem is not stopped in the future then the animal abuse that people are doing will get passed down from generation to generation and will continue to happen until someone steps up and fights against the animal cruelty! In my eyes, someone should go out and do something about all of the animal abuse that is going on not only in the United States but also other countries all over the world. The reason I believe this is because what if some people forced people to fight one another just for the fun of it. If people threatened to kill someone just to get the kicks out of them fighting just for fun. It is the same concept with humans as it is with animals. This does not just go for the fighting, it is also considered cruelty if the owner does not feed the animal they are supposed to be taking care of. Abusing an animal is a crime that people are meant to get punished for. The bad thing is that animals cannot even defend themselves. So how cruel is that? At least with humans, if they were getting abused they have the chance to go tell the police or even defend themselves where as the animal cannot go to an animal cop to help them from getting abused. That is a totally unfair situation where many animals caretakers should be considering before they do something that might sent them to jail or even prison.
