Cruelty to animals

2024-08-21 13:11:18

It’s possible that humans are also cruel to animals when they use animals for their amusement. It’s true that some animals enjoy performing; for example, dogs enjoy agility training, and horses enjoy running in a herd, but it becomes a whole different situation when we force them to perform as per our requirements. There should never be a situation where wild animals are performing for the general population. They wouldn’t choose to do this, yet many of them were trained to do so. A wild animal’s life on the road is terrible even when there is no visible abuse. Cruel treatment includes keeping animals in cages, transporting them over great distances, forcing them into an arena where people are screaming and shouting, keeping them alone frequently without the company of their kind, and preventing them from acting in ways that are consistent with their natural behaviours. Additionally, there is cruelty in sports, such as whipping a horse to make it run faster or training greyhounds by exposing them to live prey. When animals get old or lose their shape, they may be left behind or put to death. Or they might keep getting sold in a cycle of neglect. Some other types are as follows: ● Experiments: Another kind of animal cruelty is performing experiments on them. 60,000 chemicals are used in cosmetics, and many of them are tested on animals. Chemicals that are corrosive to the eyes are administered in order to assess corneal inflammation. Animals are placed on hot plates while frozen in ice to assess tissue damage. More than 100 million animals, including dogs, rodents, rats, cats, monkeys, rabbits, chickens, and others, are used in scientific testing for drugs, minerals, food, and cosmetics. ● Genetic Engineering: Animal productivity is increased, and their development is accelerated, by genetic engineering. Biotechnology has the ability to modify animals. Animal welfare has been adversely impacted by the sharp rise in this over the past few years. ● Battles: Asia has started to see play battles, which amuses a lot of people. In various parts of India today, reports of dog fighting in residential, urban, and rural settings with dogs like Pitbulls and Bully engaged in combat have been made, even chicken fights are organised in trade fairs in many villages. ● Bullfighting: It is considered by supporters of animal rights to be a cruel bloodsport with little place in the contemporary world of peace. Bulls go through a harsh, torturous, and stressful death as a result of this tragedy. ● Military animals: Humans utilise military animals including horses, dogs, and whales in conflict. In particular, they are an extension of working animals. Only recently has the use of animals in battle been questioned. Animal abuse charges may now be levelled against practices like using explosives on animals to use them in combat or for military research. Dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals are the species that are identified as being the subjects of animal cruelty the most. Thousands of farm animals suffer on factory farms, but there isn’t much that can be done legally to lessen their suffering because they sometimes fall outside of the purview of cruelty laws or enjoy much fewer safeguards than pets. Animal abuse is prevalent in both urban and rural regions, according to media sources, and cruelty and neglect know no social or economic bounds.
