There are many different consequences for animal cruelty. Common punishments in America are jail sentences, and fines. If the animal is abused but is still alive in New Jersey you can be filed with a jail sentence up to 18 months, and fined up to 1,000 dollars. If the animal dies the jail sentence increases up to 5 years, and the fine to 15,000 dollars. In these cases animals suffer from injustice. Last time I checked, it is against peoples rights to kick, hit, and lock people up in rooms by themselves for days. Since this is the case, what is the difference for the animals. Many times animals who are being abused go unrecognized. This is because if abusers abuse their animals in scenarios where the public cannot see, then the animal cannot speak for itself and it can go not noticed. Suspects of animal abuse should be closely watched, and hopefully stopped before any creature dies, or gets hurt any worse. Reaching out passed America, animal abuse is an even bigger problem. Many countries globally encourage animal abuse through celebrations, and culture. In many Spanish speaking countries they celebrate running of the bulls where unfed, disgruntled bulls are let out to chase people throughout an area. In Colombia bullfighting and cockfighting is a cultural heritage. In my opinion there is one reason why countries don't worry about animal abuse as much is because humans are not the victims of the discrimination. If humans were the victims larger steps to resolving the problems would be taken, but that is not right. In all of these cases the main consequences happen to the animals because the majority of the time they can't fight back whether their being poisoned, hurt, or whatever the cause might be, humans abuse animals.

Your post was very informative and it made me think about the way I treat other things around me. Your line "it is against peoples rights to kick, hit, and lock people up in rooms by themselves for days. Since this is the case, what is the difference for the animals." Was fantastic and it was a great way to show motion in your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou had a call for action, which I liked. I like how you branched out to the world, and not only in the Us. I never knew about the bullfights in Columbia. Nice fact. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI really liked your post and you showed the many consequences of animal cruelty.This included going to jail. I can't see why any one would abuse an animal it is unjust.
ReplyDeleteI like the real world examples you use and how you say that even if it is part of someones cultural heritage it is still not right and should not be allowed.
