CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Cruelty to animals, also

called animal abuse is the
crime of inflicting suffering
or harm upon animals, for
purposes other than selfdefence.

Today humans have become

selfish enough to kill other
living beings i.e. animals for
their own pleasure and
needs. But people do not
realize that animals too
have the right to live on this
planet as much as we
humans do.

ANIMALS AS FOOD

As Paul Mc Cartney has said- If

slaughterhouses had glass walls we
would all be vegetarian is so true.
Over 10 billion animals are
slaughtered for human
consumption each year such as
Cattle, chickens,pigs etc. Laying
hens are kept in tiny cages, and
many of the hens die from stress or
disease.
These animals will never raise their
families, root around in the soil,
build nests, or do anything that is
natural and important to them.
Most won't even feel the sun on
their backs or breathe fresh air
until the day they are loaded onto
trucks bound for slaughter.

ANIMAL ABUSE IN ENTERTAINMENT

Since 1990 captive elephants

have killed 43 people. That
proves that Elephants are
peaceful animals and do not
harm unless for their own
defence.
Cruel sports such as Bullfights
still exist in today's world,
being incredibly gruesome and
cruel, with animals being
tortured and having spears
thrown into their backs until
they finally succumb to a slow
death.
Circuses,zoos,marine
parks,advertisements,tv
shows,movies,horse racing.

CLOTHING

Not many of us know that

more than 50 million animals
are violently killed for use in
fashion every year.
Bold fashion statements are a
result of death of numerous
exotic animals like
leopards,snakes,zebras etc.
We can instead use artificial
or synthetic fur and leather.
Minks,foxes,rabbits are killed
for fur to make beautiful fur
coats.
Cows for leather to make
jackets,belts, bags etc.

EXPERIMENTATION

Nowadays, many animals are

being used in scientific and
medical research.
They often undergo cruel
methods of testing and suffer
greatly as a result.
The Draize eye test is an example
-it is used to test shampoos,
weed killers, pesticides etc. The
substances are applied to the
eyes of conscious rabbits in order
to test irritancy.this is the heights
of cruelty.
Body shop a cosmetic brand is
strictly is against animal testing.
Nivea and Revlon also do not test
on animals.

The Prevention of Cruelty to

Animals Act,1960 is a
federal law of India enacted
to prevent the unnecessary
pain or suffering on animals.

Which forbids people from

hunting,poaching,illegal
trades of musk,rhino
horns,fur etc

PETA is an american based

organisation which is against
cruelty to animals.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

We can help by not using musk
perfumes.
By donating to organizations
like PETA.
By becoming a vegetarian.
By using cosmetics of brands
which do not use animals for
testing.
We can include the topic of
animal rights in the syllabus of
schools for awareness.
I have taken a pledge to not
wear fur and animal skin.
I have done my bit. Have you..?
