- 3. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Cruelty to animal, also called animal abuse is the crime of inflicting suffering or harm upon animals, for purposes other than self defence. Today human beings have become selfish enough to other living being i.e., animals for their own pleasure and needs. But people do not realize that animals also have equal rights to live in this planet like humans. Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals dont stop theremany of them move on to their fellow humans
- 4. ANIMAL AS FOOD As Paul Mc Carteny has said If slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarian is so true. Over 10 billion animal are slaughtered for human consumption every year such as cattle, pigs, chicken etc. Laying hens are kept in tiny cages, and many of them die of stress and diseases. These animals will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests or do anything natural and important to them. Most wont even feel the sun on their back or breathe fresh air until the day they are loaded on trucks bound for slaughter.
- 5. HUMAN VIOLENCE TO ANIMALS 皰 Until the past 20 years, the connection between violence against animals and violence against humans went unrecognized. Now a growing body of research has shown that people who abuse animals rarely stop there. 皰 Its been estimated that there are 900 to 2,000 new cases every year of animal hoarding in the US, with 250,000 animals falling victim. 皰 Over 115 million animals mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, among others are killed in laboratory experiments worldwide for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year. 皰 More than 50% the fur in the US comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are often bled to death and skinned alive for their fur. Chinese fur is often mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, theres no sure way of knowing whose skin youre in. 皰 The following are reasons people justify animal cruelty and deny animal rights: 1) animals do not have souls; 2) God gave humans dominion over animals; 3) humans are intellectually superior to animals; 4) animals do not reason, think, or feel pain like humans do; 5) animals are a natural resource to be used as humans see fit; and 6) animals kill each other 皰 THERE ARE MANY MORE POINTS THAT EXIST NOT ONLY EXIST BUT WE SEE THEM IN DAILY LIFE BUT WE CANT TAKE ACTION BECAUSE WE ARE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE AND NOT ANY POLITICIAN OR CELEBRITY WHEN THEY WILL DO SOMETHING THAN ONLY WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

- 7. ANIMALS USED FOR CLOTHING Animals used for clothing: leather, fur, wool, feathers, silk Billions of animals are slaughtered and processed each year, for the Fashion Industry. Whether were speaking of leather, fur, wool, feathers/down, or silk, animals are ranched/raised, trapped, mutilated and killed under some of the most horrific conditions imaginable, in order to produce the clothing and accessories that most of us wear. LEATHER- Pigskin is used in apparel, wallets and on seats of saddles. Lamb and deerskin are used for soft leather in more expensive apparel. Deer and elkskin are widely used in work gloves and indoor shoes. Buffalo, horses, goats, dogs, snakes, kangaroos, oxen, and yaks are also be used for leather. ALTERNATIVE- faux-leather is fashionable, eco-friendly, durable and far less expensive than animal skins. FUR FARMING : mink, fox, lambs, raccoons , rabbits, dogs Hunting and trapping of exotic and wild animals: fox, lynx, sable, chinchilla, mink, raccoons, beavers, seals. 50 million animals are raised and killed each year on filthy fur farms that continue to exist in Finland, Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Canada and in China which is today, probably the largest and cruelest exporter of cheap fur pelts (dogs, cats, rabbits) in the world. Fur trimmed with the skins of fur-bearing animals, whether a coat, hat, gloves, boots, sweater. ALTERNATIVE-Dont wear fur. SILK is used for shirts, dresses, tie, etc. It is extracted by boiling cocooned worms, on their way to becoming moths. The cocoon itself is raw silk, built by the silkworm, which will be destroyed by the moth as it chews its way out of the cocoon. For this reason, the moths are boiled alive, killing the moth and making it easier to unravel the silk. Tens of millions of silk moths are boiled alive every year and leading them to painful death. ALTERNATIVE-Wear artificial silk like rayon, nylon, etc.
- 8. ANIMALS USED FOR TESTING Each year, more than 100 million animalsincluding mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birdsare killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing. Before their deaths, some are forced to inhale toxic fumes, others are immobilized in restraint devices for hours, some have holes drilled into their skulls, and others have their skin burned off or their spinal cords crushed. They are confined to barren cages, socially isolated, and psychologically traumatized. MANY BRANDS AND CAMPAIGNS HAVE COME FORWARD AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING AND TRYING TO STOP ANIMALS USE AS TESTING SUBJECT.
- 9. CULTURAL RITUALS Tradition is NOT an excuse for cruelty Ritual slaughter is the practice of slaughtering livestock for meat in the context of a ritual. In Spain, the bullfight is on its way out. In India, we have our own shameful traditions, sacrifice of goats, chickens, pigeons and male water buffalos. All religions call for compassion, no religion requires killing or eating animals, and hacking animals to death with weapons is just plain cruel. Animal sacrifice is also bad for everyone: it normalizes killing and desensitizes children to violence against animals.

- 12. WAY TO SAVE ANIMALS Spay and neuter. Each year, millions of dogs and cats are put to death in animal shelters. Spaying and neutering eases the overpopulation problem and prolongs the life of your dog or cat. Never buy an animal from a pet shop. Adopt your companion animals from shelters. Pet shops buy from puppy mills and large-scale breeders who contribute to the population crisis and whose over-bred animals are often very unhealthy. Take notice and take action. Never ignore stray animals on the street, where they can become victims of disease, starvation, and human cruelty. Contact you local animal shelter to report a lost animal. Never give an animal as a gift. Many an animal has been abandoned because people arent
- 13. WHY SHOULD ANIMAL CRUELTY BE STOPPED?

It matters because Pets may suffer unexplained injuries, health problems, permanent disabilities at the hands of abusers, or disappear from home.
- 15. Organization and how do they help PAWS (Pets- and Women's Safety Act) give Victims or domestic abuse means to escape their abusers while keeping their companion animals safe.
