ANIMAL CRUELTY IN THE WORLD TODAY

 I HAVE A PET AND I RECENTLY DID RESEARCH ON ANIMAL CRUELTY FOR A SPEECH. 

 REASONS WHY WE SHOULDN’T HARM ANIMALS.  EFFECTS OF ANIMAL ABUSE.  LAWS.  STATISTICS.  ISSUES/RELEVANCE.  CONCLUSION

 MANY ANIMALS HARM PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY FEAR HUMANS DUE TO PAST NEGATIVE INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE.  THEREFORE, IF WE ARE MORE KIND TO ANIMALS THEY WILL REACT TO US BETTER.

 MANY PEOPLE WHO HARM ANIMALS COMMIT OTHER CRIMES OR EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO COMMIT OTHER CRIMES.  WE SHOULD TEACH PEOPLE THAT IT IS WRONG WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG.  WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE COMMIT CRIMES THEY WILL THINK THIS IS OKAY.  IF WE SEE A CHILD HARMING ANIMALS THIS MAY BE A RED FLAG FOR MORE SERIOUS ISSUES. {S0URCE:

 MANY CASES OF ANIMAL CRUELTY ARE LINKED TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.  MOST WOMEN WHO FILE COMPLAINTS SAY THAT THEIR PET WAS HARMED IN THE INCIDENT AS WELL.  ANIMAL ABUSE AND CHILD ABUSE ARE CLOSELY RELATED AS WELL. {SOURCE: ween_animal_cruelty_and_human_violence/animal_cruelty_and_ family_violence_making_the_connection/animal_crueltydomestic _violence_fact_sheet.html}

 PEOPLE SHOULDN’T CAUSE PAIN TO ANYONE OR ANYTHING.  THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO EVERY THING WE DO.

 LARGE PROBLEM WITH OVERPOPULATION OF ANIMALS  OWNERS SHOULD GET PETS SPAYED OR NEUTERED.  TAXES ARE INCREASED IN ORDER TO FUND THE REMOVAL OF DEAD ANIMALS FORM PUBLIC PLACES, CARE FOR ANIMAL SHELTERS, AND TO EUTHANIZE ANIMALS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADOPTED.

 WHY PEOPLE SHOULDN’T ABUSE ANIMALS  CAUSES/EFFECTS OF ANIMAL ABUSE  I ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK TWICE BEFORE HARMING AN ANIMAL OR BEFORE YOU IGNORE ANIMAL ABUSE.
