People Should Stop Abusing Animals

We all like to think that nobody would abuse a wonderful animal, but it’s time to face reality. Animal abuse is everywhere. As a result, I’ll be talking about why animal abuse is cruel, why I think it should be against the law, and why it’s against animal rights.

Firstly, animal abuse is cruel, think about how many animals die because they were beaten so badly, or how many are permanently damaged for life because they were abused. When I watch the news, and see pictures of animals that were abused, I feel sick, and think, why? Why do people have to be so heartless? Animals never did anything to hurt us. Sure there are animals like that, who would purposely try to hurt us, but you know what? In most cases the reason why an animal ends up trying to hurt a human, is because the human has brutally beaten them. Animals have lives of their own, imagine if you did one tiny thing wrong, and you got beaten for it. One little mistake! Animals really don’t deserve this, just remember hitting or anything like that, is never the option!

Secondly, I believe animal abuse should be against the law! When a human abuses another human, they get sent to jail, why not when a human abuses an animal? Just think about it, it’s basically the same. Just like humans, if an animal gets abused badly enough they can die or, get seriously injured. What makes animal abuse so different than human abuse? Hundreds of animals don’t get to live a full life, because of their heartless owners, but if animal abuse was against the law, that could be different, just imagine if you could save at least a couple of animals. Animals aren’t just pets, to some people; sometimes they are more like a companion or a best friend. If animal abuse was against the law, we could rescue the poor animals, and give them a better home.

Lastly, animal abuse is against animal rights. Animals can’t stop you, when you hurt them, even if they tried. Animals deserve respect too. More and more animals get put down because they attack a human, but I bet half of those incidents were out of self defense, because the human was abusing them. Animals deserve a, good and loving home, and owner. When you beat them, you aren’t giving them any of those.

After reading this, what are you thinking? You’ve heard this all before right? So why are people still abusing animals? We all know this is cruel, that it should be against the law, and that it’s against animal rights. So make a difference and stop abusing animals!
