Have you ever loved a pet or a family member so much that you would do anything to protect them? Annually about 7 million dogs and cats are put in shelters. 3.5 million of those dogs and cats are killed. Just think of your unconditionally loving puppy or precious kitten. If they were in danger, wouldn’t you do anything to stop it? All animal cruelty is inhumane including slaughtering, animal testing, and the use of animal skin clothing.
Remember that hot juicy hamburger purchased at McDonalds that was an irresistible $3.99? That meat used to be a living animal, cow or pig, which is now being digested by humans 50 billion times annually. Every second 1,680 animals are killed for food, according to change.org. Every. Second. Most of these animals are only 6-7 weeks old before their death arrives.
On YouTube I have seen an undercover investigation of Conklin Dairy Farm in Ohio. They would beat their cows if they’re sick, old, if they were getting slaughtered the next day, or probably just for fun. A man would tie a cow up and beat it while the cow could do nothing but take in the pain. He would be either stabbing it with a pitch fork or hitting it over the head with a crowbar. Gary Conklin, the owner of Conklin Dairy Farms says, "The video shows animal care that is clearly inconsistent with the high standards we set for our farm and its workers, and we find the specific mistreatment shown on the video to be reprehensible and unacceptable[…]We will not condone animal abuse on our farm." This is hypocritical because in the video it shows Gary Conklin, the owner, beating and kicking a cow while it helplessly lays there.
Another video shows newborn baby chicks being ground up alive. If the chicks are males they are no good and are instantly ground up. If they are deformed, they were left on the ground to die.Think about this when you get some chicken nuggets at McDonalds. Think about this next time you go to a petting zoo, your backyard farm, and realize that that cute little animal may have a death in the near future.
At this moment millions of dogs, cats, mice, rabbits and primates are locked in cold, small cages. They are sitting lonely and waiting for the next horrible experiment that will be performed upon them. When someone walks near their cage, they shake and cower in fear. Once the selection is complete, they are forced to be poisoned, blinded, and finally killed. These tests include cosmetics, chemical, drug, biology experiments, fitness training, and even curiosity experiments. Twenty-five million vertebrate animals are tested with makeup products alone annually. That averages fifty animals an hour that are tested and killed. It may not be the whole truth when one of your products says “animal-friendly.” When invertebrate animals are involved, the numbers rise to 100 million a year. Once these tested animals have done their job, they are killed. Even if the test is a failure, these companies still may sell their products to you, the consumer. Would you want your innocent pet to be part of this process? Realize that animal cruelty is wrong and we need to put an end to it.
Finally, have you ever heard of a “fake” fur coat? Like a fake mink coat or a fake red fox coat. Most of these “fakes” are actually made from dogs and cats imported from China. So although it isn’t the animal you wanted, it sure is a real animal, the common animal living in your home. From person experience, I have seen a video on Facebook of a dog being skinned alive. All you could hear were the painful whimpering and cries as he was losing his protection. Finally he was thrown in a trash can, half-alive, never to be seen again.
In conclusion, animal cruelty is inhumane, whether it is slaughtering, animal testing, or clothing manufacturing. These defenseless animals are killed every second. In the last 5 minutes, five-hundred thousand four-hundred animals were killed.
