How do we stop animal cruelty?

By Rachael Bale , ANIMALS Executive Editor It may sound surprising, but animal cruelty is only just becoming a federal crime. The PACT Act (“Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture”) passed unanimously in both houses of the U.S. Congress, and President Trump is expected to sign it. The soon-to-be law makes it a felony to do a number of sickening things to animals. Each state already has felony animal cruelty laws, but PACT fills some gaps, covering crimes on federal property or perpetrators who traveled across state lines, Humane Society’s Tracie Letterman told me. The move also is important for public health. Animal abuse is clearly linked to other violent crimes, such as domestic violence, assault, and sex crimes. The FBI now tracks animal abuse because it could be a warning of more violent acts. Today we know all animals feel pain . It’s clear they think and feel, as well. As conservationist Carl Safina told Nat Geo:

Life is very vivid to animals. In many cases they know who they are. They know who their friends aree eand who their rivals are. They have ambitions for higher status. They compete. Their lives follow the arc of a career, like ours do. Carl Safina , Ecologist and conservationist

What Would It Mean to Treat Animals Fairly?

By Elizabeth Barber

A few years ago, activists walked into a factory farm in Utah and walked out with two piglets. State prosecutors argued that this was a crime. That they were correct was obvious: The pigs were the property of Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer in the country. The defendants had videoed themselves committing the crime; the F.B.I. later found the piglets in Colorado, in an animal sanctuary.

The activists said they had completed a “rescue,” but Smithfield had good reason to claim it hadn’t treated the pigs illegally. Unlike domestic favorites like dogs, which are protected from being eaten, Utah’s pigs are legally classified as “livestock”; they’re future products, and Smithfield could treat them accordingly. Namely, it could slaughter the pigs, but it could also treat a pig’s life—and its temporary desire for food, space, and medical help—as an inconvenience, to be handled in whatever conditions were deemed sufficient.

In their video, the activists surveyed those conditions . At the facility—a concentrated animal-feeding operation, or CAFO —pregnant pigs were confined to gestation crates, metal enclosures so small that the sows could barely lie down. (Smithfield had promised to stop using these crates, but evidently had not.) Other pigs were in farrowing crates, where they had enough room to lie down but not enough to turn their bodies around. When the activists approached one sow, they found dead piglets rotting beneath her. Nearby, they found two injured piglets, whom they decided to take. One couldn’t walk because of a foot infection; the other’s face was covered in blood. According to Smithfield, which denied mistreating animals, the piglets were each worth about forty-two dollars, but both had diarrhea and other signs of illness. This meant they were unlikely to survive, and that their bodies would be discarded, just as millions of farm animals are discarded each year.

During the trial, the activists reiterated that, yes, they entered Smithfield’s property and, yes, they took the pigs. And then, last October, the jury found them not guilty. In a column for the Times , one of the activists—Wayne Hsiung, the co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere—described talking to one of the jurors, who said that it was hard to convict the activists of theft, given that the sick piglets had no value for Smithfield. But another factor was the activists’ appeal to conscience. In his closing statement, Hsiung, a lawyer who represented himself, argued that an acquittal would model a new, more compassionate world. He had broken the law, yes—but the law, the jury seemed to agree, might be wrong.

A lot has changed in our relationship with animals since 1975, when the philosopher Peter Singer wrote “ Animal Liberation ,” the book that sparked the animal-rights movement. Gestation crates, like the ones in Utah, are restricted in the European Union, and California prohibits companies that use them from selling in stores, a case that the pork industry fought all the way to the Supreme Court—and lost. In a 2019 Johns Hopkins survey, more than forty per cent of respondents wanted to ban new CAFO s. In Iowa, which is the No. 1 pork-producing state, my local grocery store has a full Vegan section. “Vegan” is also a shopping filter on Sephora, and most of the cool-girl brands are vegan, anyway. Wearing fur is embarrassing.

And yet Singer’s latest book, “ Animal Liberation Now ,” a rewrite of his 1975 classic, is less a celebratory volume than a tragic one—tragic because it is very similar to the original in refrain, which is that, big-picture-wise, the state of animal life is terrible. “The core argument I was putting forward,” Singer writes, “seemed so irrefutable, so undeniably right, that I thought everyone who read it would surely be convinced by it.” Apparently not. By some estimates, scientists in the U.S. currently use roughly fifteen million animals for research, including mice, rats, cats, dogs, birds, and nonhuman primates. As in the seventies, much of this research tries to model psychological ailments, despite scientists’ having written for decades that more research is needed to figure out whether animals—and which kind of animals—provide a useful analogue for mental illness in humans. When Singer was first writing, a leading researcher created psychopathic monkeys by raising them in isolation, impregnating them with what he called a “rape rack,” and studying how the mothers bashed their infants’ heads into the ground. In 2019, researchers were still putting animals through “prolonged stress”—trapping them in deep water, restraining them for long periods while subjecting them to the odor of a predator—to see if their subsequent behavior evidenced P.T.S.D. (They wrote that more research was needed.) Meanwhile, factory farms, which were newish in 1975, have swept the globe. Just four per cent of Americans are vegetarian, and each year about eighty-three billion animals are killed for food.

It’s for these animals, Singer writes, “and for all the others who will, unless there is a sudden and radical change, suffer and die,” that he writes this new edition. But Singer’s hopes are by now tempered. One obvious problem is that, in the past fifty years, the legal standing of animals has barely changed. The Utah case was unusual not just because of the verdict but because referendums on farm-animal welfare seldom occur at all. In many states, lawmakers, often pressured by agribusiness, have tried to make it a serious crime to enter a factory farm’s property. The activists in Utah hoped they could win converts at trial; they gambled correctly, but, had they been wrong, they could have gone to prison. As in 1975, it remains impossible to simply petition the justice system to notice that pigs are suffering. All animals are property, and property can’t take its owner to court.

Philosophers have debated the standing of animals for centuries. Pythagoras supposedly didn’t eat them, perhaps because he believed they had souls. Their demotion to “things” owes partly to thinkers like Aristotle, who called animals “brute beasts” who exist “for the sake of man,” and to Christianity, which, like Stoicism before it, awarded unique dignity to humans. We had souls; animals did not. Since then, various secular thinkers have given this idea a new name—“inherent value,” “intrinsic dignity”—in order to explain why it is O.K. to eat a pig but not a baby. For Singer, these phrases are a “last resort,” a way to clumsily distinguish humans from nonhuman animals. Some argue that our ability to tell right from wrong, or to perceive ourselves, sets us apart—but not all humans can do these things, and some animals seem to do them better. Good law doesn’t withhold justice from humans who are elderly or infirm, or those who are cognitively disabled. As a utilitarian, Singer cites the founder of that tradition, the eighteenth-century philosopher Jeremy Bentham, who argued that justice and equality have nothing to do with a creature’s ability to reason, or with any of its abilities at all, but with the fact that it can suffer. Most animals suffer. Why, then, do we not give them moral consideration?

Singer’s answer is “speciesism,” or “bias in favor of the interests of members of one’s own species.” Like racism and sexism, speciesism denies equal consideration in order to maintain a status quo that is convenient for the oppressors. As Lawrence Wright has written in this magazine , courts, when considering the confinement of elephants and chimpanzees, have conceded that such animals evince many of the qualities that give humans legal standing, but have declined to follow through on the implications of this fact. The reason for that is obvious. If animals deserved the same consideration as humans, then we would find ourselves in a world in which billions of persons were living awful, almost unimaginably horrible lives. In which case, we might have to do something about it.

Equal consideration does not mean equal treatment. As a utilitarian, Singer’s aim is to minimize the suffering in the world and maximize the pleasure in it, a principle that invites, and often demands, choices. This is why Singer does not object to killing mosquitos (if done quickly), or to using animals for scientific research that would dramatically relieve suffering, or to eating meat if doing so would save your life. What he would not agree with, though, is making those choices on the basis of perceived intelligence or emotion. In a decision about whether to eat chicken or pork, it is not better to choose chicken simply because pigs seem smarter. The fleeting pleasure of eating any chicken is trounced by its suffering in industrial farms, where it was likely force-fed, electrocuted, and perhaps even boiled alive.

Still, Singer’s emphasis on suffering is cause for concern to Martha Nussbaum , whose new book, “ Justice for Animals ,” is an attempt to settle on the ideal philosophical template for animal rights. Whereas Singer’s argument is emphatically emotion-free—empathy, in his view, is not just immaterial but often actively misleading—Nussbaum is interested in emotions, or at least in animals’ inner lives and desires. She considers several theories of animal rights, including Singer’s, before arguing that we should adopt her “capabilities approach,” which builds on a framework developed by the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, and holds that all creatures should be given the “opportunity to flourish.” For decades, Nussbaum has adjusted her list of what this entails for humans, which includes “being able to live to the end of a human life of normal length,” “being able to have attachments to things and people outside ourselves,” and having “bodily integrity”—namely, freedom from violence and “choice in matters of reproduction.” In “Justice for Animals,” she outlines some conditions for nonhuman flourishing: a natural life span, social relationships, freedom of movement, bodily integrity, and play and stimulation. Eventually, she writes, we would have a refined list for each species, so that we could insure flourishing “in the form of life characteristic to the creature.”

In imagining this better world, Nussbaum is guided by three emotions: wonder, anger, and compassion. She wants us to look anew at animals such as chickens or pigs, which don’t flatter us, as gorillas might, with their resemblance to us. What pigs do, and like to do, is root around in the dirt; lacquer themselves in mud to keep cool; build comfy nests in which to shelter their babies; and communicate with one another in social groups. They also seek out belly rubs from human caregivers. In a just world, Nussbaum writes, we would wonder at a pig’s mysterious life, show compassion for her desire to exist on her own terms, and get angry when corporations get in her way.

Some of Nussbaum’s positions are more actionable, policy-wise, than others. For example, she supports legal standing for animals, which raises an obvious question: How would a pig articulate her desires to a lawyer? Nussbaum notes that a solution already exists in fiduciary law: in the event that a person, like a toddler or disabled adult, cannot communicate their decisions or make sound ones, a representative is appointed to understand that person’s interests and advocate for them. Just as organizations exist to help certain people advance their interests, organizations could represent categories of animals. In Nussbaum’s future world, such a group could take Smithfield Foods to court.

Perhaps Nussbaum’s boldest position is that wild animals should also be represented by fiduciaries, and indeed be assured, by humans, the same flourishing as any other creature. If this seems like an overreach, a quixotic attempt to control a world that is better off without our meddling, Nussbaum says, first, to be realistic: there is no such thing as a truly wild animal, given the extent of human influence on Earth. (If a whale is found dead with a brick of plastic in its stomach, how “wild” was it?) Second, in Nussbaum’s view, if nature is thoughtless—and Nussbaum thinks it is—then perhaps what happens in “the wild” is not always for the best. No injustice can be ignored. If we aspire to a world in which no sentient creature can harm another’s “bodily integrity,” or impede one from exploring and fulfilling one’s capabilities, then it is not “the destiny of antelopes to be torn apart by predators.”

Here, Nussbaum’s world is getting harder to imagine. Animal-rights writing tends to elide the issue of wild-animal suffering for obvious reasons—namely, the scarcity of solutions. Singer covers the issue only briefly, and mostly to say that it’s worth researching the merit of different interventions, such as vaccination campaigns. Nussbaum, for her part, is unclear about how we would protect wild antelopes without impeding the flourishing of their predators—or without impeding the flourishing of antelopes, by increasing their numbers and not their resources. In 2006, when she previously discussed the subject, she acknowledged that perhaps “part of what it is to flourish, for a creature, is to settle certain very important matters on its own.” In her new book, she has not entirely discarded that perspective: intervention, she writes, could result in “disaster on a large scale.” But the point is to “press this question all the time,” and to ask whether our hands-off approach is less noble than it is self-justifying—a way of protecting ourselves from following our ideals to their natural, messy, inconvenient ends.

The enduring challenge for any activist is both to dream of almost-unimaginable justice and to make the case to nonbelievers that your dreams are practical. The problem is particularly acute in animal-rights activism. Ending wild-animal suffering is laughably hard (our efforts at ending human suffering don’t exactly recommend us to the task); obviously, so is changing the landscape of factory farms, or Singer wouldn’t be reissuing his book. In 2014, the British sociologist Richard Twine suggested that the vegan isn’t unlike the feminist of yore, in that both come across as killjoys whose “resistance against routinized norms of commodification and violence” repels those who prefer the comforts of the status quo. Wayne Hsiung, the Direct Action Everywhere activist, was only recently released from jail, after being sentenced for duck and chicken rescues in California. On his blog, he wrote that one reason the prosecution succeeded was that, unlike in Utah, he and his colleagues were cast as “weird extremists.”

It’s easy to construct a straw-man vegan, one oblivious to his own stridency, privilege, or hypocrisy. Isn’t he driving deforestation with all his vegetables? (No, Singer replies, as the vast majority of soybeans are fed to farm animals.) Isn’t he ignoring food deserts or the price tag on vegan substitutes, which puts them out of the reach of poor families? (Nussbaum acknowledges that cost can be an issue, but argues that it only emphasizes the need for resourced people to eat as humanely as they can, given that the costs of a more ethical diet “will not come down until it is chosen by many.”) Anyone pointing out moral culpability will provoke, in both others and themselves, a certain defensiveness. Nussbaum spends a lot of time discussing her uneasiness with her choice to eat fish for nutritional reasons. (She argues that fish likely have no sense of the future, a claim that even she seems unsure about.) Singer is eager to intervene here, emphasizing that animal-rights activism should pursue the diminishment of suffering, not the achievement of sainthood. “We are more likely to persuade others to share our attitude if we temper our ideals with common sense than if we strive for the kind of purity that is more appropriate to a religious dietary law than to an ethical and political movement,” he writes. Veganism is a boycott, and, while boycotts are more effective the more you commit to them, what makes them truly effective is persuading others to join them.

Strangely, where Singer and Nussbaum might agree is that defining the proper basis for the rights of animals is less important, at least in the short term, than getting people not to harm them, for any reason at all. Those reasons might have nothing to do with the animals themselves. Perhaps you decide not to eat animals because you care about people: because you care that the water where you live, if it’s anything like where I live, is too full of CAFO by-products to confidently drink. Perhaps you care about the workers in enormous slaughterhouses, where the pay is low and the costs to the laborer high. Perhaps you believe in a God, and believe that this God would expect better of people than to eat animals raised and killed in darkness. Or perhaps someone you love happens to love pigs, or to love the idea that the world could be gentler or more just, and you love the way they see the future enough to help them realize it. Nussbaum, after all, became interested in animal rights because she loved a person, her late daughter, an attorney who championed legislation to protect whales and other wild animals until her death, in 2019. Nussbaum’s book is dedicated to her—and also, now, to the whales. ♦

A Deeper Look Into Animal Cruelty

How to Give a Speech on Animal Cruelty

Kristine tucker.

A speech on animal cruelty needs to be organized and executed to motivate action. Focus on the definition of animal cruelty, examples of abuse, tips for contacting agencies to report abuse and ways to proactively support animal rights. Include information about animal protection laws to educate your audience on what legally constitutes animal abuse.The goal is to encourage awareness and persuade your audience to get involved in the mission to enforce this legislation and stop animal cruelty.

• Personal Connection

1 Definition of Animal Cruelty

Define the type of behavior that constitutes animal cruelty. Explain that each state has its own animal protection laws but most have the same basic regulations. For example, in California, Ohio, New York and Colorado, abandoning or purposefully injuring, neglecting and poisoning animals are prosecutable offenses. In most states, any type of intentional mistreatment or purposeful neglect is considered animal cruelty. In your discussion, you might also initiate debate over animal cruelty as it relates to undomesticated animals, such as their use in medical testing or their slaughter for fur and for human consumption.

2 Animal Abuse Presentation Slideshow

Incorporate a presentation slideshow into your speech, and display a list of animal protection laws in your state. Explain the legal consequences for animal cruelty in your state, such as fines and punishments for misdemeanors and felonies. For example, those convicted of animal-cruelty charges must forfeit their animals to appropriate agencies, such as animal shelters. Show examples of animal cruelty, ensuring that the pictures are appropriate to the age range of your audience. Besides photos, look for other forms of multimedia to make an impact. Help listeners learn to recognize animal abuse so they know when and how to intervene.

3 Ways to Help

Discuss avenues for helping abused and mistreated animals. Provide contact information for local agencies, such as animal shelters, emergency hotlines and animal hospitals. Use your presentation slideshow to list important tips as to what your listeners should do if they encounter abused animals. For example, you might advise them to beware of biting and instruct them to quarantine sick animals to avoid spreading diseases to other animals. At the end of your speech, pass out flyers that detail animal safety tips and list important telephone numbers, so your listeners have something tangible to take with them.

4 Personal Connection

Make it personal. Because animal cruelty is a highly emotional topic, engage your audience by passionately explaining why the topic is important to you. You might tell a personal story of rescuing an animal in distress or discuss how you first became an advocate of animal rights. Provide compelling, heartfelt evidence so your listeners want to get involved in the cause. The goal is to leave your audience with a sense of duty or responsibility. If you connect your audience's outrage over the plight of vulnerable, abused animals to concrete acts to prevent it, your speech is a success.

Introduction

Our planet Earth is a very beautiful place. Here, all the living organisms are dependent on each other and live together. We, humans, are considered as the most intelligent species on Earth. But, we sometimes become very insensitive to the creatures who cannot express themselves, especially the animals. We harm them just to fulfill our needs. We have an essay here on cruelty towards animals which will cover the questions like - write an article on cruelty towards animals, cruelty towards animals paragraph, paragraph on stop cruelty towards animals, article on cruelty towards animals class 9 and so on.

Long Paragraph on Cruelty to Animals

Animals, just like human beings, deserve a peaceful life. Animals are an important part of our ecosystem and are very useful to us. But, we sometimes forget that they are also living creatures. We keep on harassing them and these poor creatures can't even express their feelings and grief. Cruelty towards animals have become an international matter of concern. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible and should be eliminated for ever.

We become cruel towards animals for two reasons - one to fulfill our needs and other for fun. We use animals for their fur, their skin, their meat, their teeth and horns too. Sometimes, we apply colours on them which harm their skin, we also burn crackers without thinking about them. Sometimes , the tea-shop keeper pours the hot water on the street dogs, which is a great example of cruel behaviour towards the animals.

The animal skins are used in textile industries. Their skin and body hairs are used to make exotic fabrics for us to use. Animal’s teeth, horns, skin and fur are used to make home decor items which we beautifully use to decorate our homes without thinking how much pain animals go through for giving us these luxuries.

Another industry that contributes in cruelty to animals is the cosmetic industry. Whenever we buy any cosmetic products, we always make sure that the product is safe on our skin. But, we hardly realise that these products are tested on animals before it reaches us. The chemicals are often injected in animal’s bodies or applied on their skin. Sometimes, these are tested on their eyes too. And if the test fails, it sometimes leads to the animal's death also. These tests cause itching and burning too. But,we the human beings, keep on torturing the animals for our own purposes.

Our progressing medical science also has a big role in harassing the animals and showing our cruelty towards them. For the trials of medicines, animals are selected. They are then injected with the trial medicines without thinking about their pain. They are often kept in freezing temperatures for the experiments. We also ill treat the animals at zoos and circuses. The place where they are kept is not cleaned often. Also, the feeding methods are not too hygienic. These result in various diseases and often to their death.

Many animals and birds, in the name of pets, are being sold everyday. These animals are kept in cages or are kept tied with a chain. Most often, they are beaten up. The street dogs are often beaten up by the shopkeepers if they are found roaming around. Many cows are found roaming around the garbage heaps finding food. Many times many animals are hit by the fast moving traffic. These all are the examples of cruelty towards animals.

But now it's enough! We, the human beings, who are considered as the most intelligent creatures on Earth have to stop playing with these poor creatures' lives. We have to raise our voice and stop being cruel to the animals. We have to bring new strong laws to protect the animals. Every school should teach students how to respect and protect our fellow creatures - animals. Parents themselves should treat the animals with respect and love and should teach their wards the same.

We should always keep one thing in mind that we cannot survive without animals. Everything on Earth has its own purpose. The animals help in balancing our ecosystem. We have to take a call and save our environment, our mother Earth and our animals.

Short Paragraph on Stop Cruelty Towards Animals

Cruelty means a behaviour that harms others physically or mentally. But it's a matter of shame that we only consider human beings when it comes to cruelty. We forget that animals are also living creatures and we should not be cruel to them. Just because these creatures can not express themselves as we do, we forget that what we are doing to them if someone does to us, we will die.

Human industries that contribute to this cruelty are - Textile, Cosmetics, Home Decor and many more. Animal skins and furs are used in textile industries, animal skin, fur, horns and teeths are used to make home decor items. Many animals are killed for their meat also. Animals are ill-treated in laboratories where they are used for testing and experiments. They are often kept in freezing conditions or in boiling conditions.

It is high time now that we stop abusing these poor animals. They are also living beings and are very very important to us as without them the whole ecosystem will disbalance. We should raise awareness and stop these cruelties against animals.

Conclusion:

Cruelty to animals has become a nationwide problem nowadays. The government has already imposed a few laws and a few more are needed. Along with that, social awareness is also required. Students should learn how to treat animals in schools. Parents should also treat their pets well and teach their children. Our planet Earth is a very beautiful place. Here, all the living organisms are dependent on each other and live together. We, humans, are considered the most intelligent species on Earth. But, we sometimes become very insensitive to the creatures who cannot express themselves, especially the animals. We harm them just to fulfil our needs.

We can even file a complaint against anyone who is abusing stray animals or harming them.

Speaking Up For Animals — Speech by Senator Robert C. Byrd

U. S. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia gave an unprecedented speech on behalf of farm animals on the floor of the U.S. Senate. It is so important, that we have provided the actual video below. Also we are reproducing excerpts in this newsletter so that everyone can be aware of it. Everyone who cares about the suffering of animals should be proud that this Senator spoke up for them.

Senator Robert Byrd – July 9, 2001

Mr. President, a few months ago, a lady by the name of Sara McBurnett accidentally tapped a sports utility vehicle from behind on a busy highway in California. The angry owner of the bumped vehicle, Mr. Andrew Burnett, stormed back to Ms. McBurnett´s car and began yelling at her; and then reached through her open car window with both hands, grabbed her little white dog and hurled it onto the busy roadway. The lady sat helplessly watching in horror as her frightened little pet ran for its life, dodging speeding traffic to no avail. The traffic was too heavy and the traffic was too swift.Imagine her utter horror. Recently, Mr. Burnett was found guilty of animal cruelty by a jury in a California court, so my faith in the wisdom of juries was restored. Ever since I first heard about this monstrous, brutal, barbaric act, I have wondered what would drive any sane person to do such a thing. There are some people who have blamed this senseless and brutal incident on road rage. But it was not just road rage, it was bestial cruelty. It was and is an outrage. …

There is no minimizing such cruelty and resorting to the lame excuse that, “after all, it was just a dog. ”

The dog owner, Ms. McBurnett, puts the incident in perspective. Here is what she said: It wasn´t just a dog to me. For me, it was my child. A majority of pet owners do believe their pets to be family members. That is the way I look at my little dog, my little dog Billy–Billy Byrd. I look at him as a family member. When he passes away, I will shed tears. I know that. He is a little white Maltese Terrier. As a pet owner and dog lover, I know exactly what that lady means, and so did millions of other dog lovers who could never even fathom such an act. …

Dogs have stolen our hearts and made a place in our homes for thousands of years. Dogs fill an emotional need in man and they have endured as our close companions. They serve as guards and sentries and watchdogs; they are hunting companions. Some, like Lassie and Rin Tin Tin, have become famous actors. But mostly, these sociable little creatures are valued especially as loyal comforters to their human masters. Petting a dog can make our blood pressure drop. Try it. Our heart rate slows down. Try it. Our sense of anxiety diminishes, just goes away. Researchers in Australia have found that dog owners have a lower risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels than those people who do not own dogs. Researchers in England have demonstrated that dog owners have far fewer minor health complaints than those people without a dog. Our dogs are about the most devoted, steadfast companions that the Creator could have designed. They are said to be man´s best friend and, indeed, who can dispute it?

The affection that a dog provides is not only unlimited, it is unqualified, unconditional. A faithful dog does not judge its owner, it does not criticize him or her, it simply accepts him or her; it accepts us as we are, for who we are, no matter how we dress, no matter how much money we have or don´t have, and no matter what our social standing might be or might not be. No matter what happens, one´s dog is still one´s friend. …

At the turn of the century, George G. Vest delivered a deeply touching summation before the jury in the trial involving the killing of a dog, Old Drum. …

Burden owned a dog, and he was named “Old Drum.” He was a great hunting dog. Any time that dog barked one could know for sure that it was on the scent of a raccoon or other animal.

Leonidas Hornsby was a farmer who raised livestock and some of his calves and lambs were being killed by animals. He, therefore, swore to shoot any animal, any dog that appeared on his property.

One day there appeared on his property a hound. Someone said: “There´s a dog out there in the yard. ” Hornsby said: “Shoot him. ”

The dog was killed. Charles Burden, the owner of the dog, was not the kind of man to take something like this lightly. He went to court. He won his case and was awarded $25. Hornsby appealed, and, if I recall, on the appeal there was a reversal, whereupon the owner of the dog decided to employ the best lawyer that he could find in the area.

He employed a lawyer by the name of George Graham Vest. This lawyer gave a summation to the jury. Here is [part of] what he said: …

“Gentlemen of the jury, a man´s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master´s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.

When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the Sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth and outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies.

And when the last scene of all comes, death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends desert him and pursue their way, there by his grave side will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even unto death. ”

Well, of course, George Vest won the case. It was 1869 or 1870. In 1879 he ran for the U.S. Senate and was elected and served in the Senate for 24 years. The citizens in Warrensburg, MO, decided to build a statue to Old Drum, and that statue stands today in the courtyard at Warrensburg. Harry Truman contributed $250 to the building of the statue. …

So, just a little pat, a little treat, a little attention for the dog is all that a pet asks. How many members of the human species can love so completely? How does man return that kind of affection?

I remember a recent news program that told of a man who was going around killing dogs and selling the meat from them. A couple of years ago, NBC News reported that American companies were importing and selling toys made in China that were decorated with the fur from dogs that were raised and then slaughtered just for that purpose. …

The point is this: We have a responsibility to roundly condemn such abject cruelty. Apathy regarding incidents such as this will only lead to more deviant behavior. And respect for life, all life, and for humane treatment of all creatures is something that must never be lost. …

Mr. President, I am concerned that cruelty toward our faithful friend, the dog, may be reflective of an overall trend toward animal cruelty. Recent news accounts have been saturated with accounts of such brutal behavior. A year or two ago, it was revealed that macabre videos showing small animals, including hamsters, kittens, and monkeys, being crushed to death were selling for as much as $300 each. And just a few day ago, there were local news accounts of incidents in Maryland involving decapitated geese being left on the doorsteps of several homes in a Montgomery County community.

Our inhumane treatment of livestock is becoming widespread and more and more barbaric. Six-hundred-pound hogs–they were pigs at one time–raised in 2-foot-wide metal cages called gestation crates, in which the poor beasts are unable to turn around or lie down in natural positions, and this way they live for months at a time.

On profit-driven factory farms, veal calves are confined to dark wooden crates so small that they are prevented from lying down or scratching themselves. These creatures feel; they know pain. They suffer pain just as we humans suffer pain. Egg-laying hens are confined to battery cages. Unable to spread their wings, they are reduced to nothing more than an egg-laying machine.

Last April, the Washington Post detailed the inhumane treatment of livestock in our Nation´s slaughterhouses. A 23-year-old Federal law requires that cattle and hogs to be slaughtered must first be stunned, thereby rendered insensitive to pain, but mounting evidence indicates that this is not always being done, that these animals are sometimes cut, skinned, and scalded while still able to feel pain.

A Texas beef company, with 22 citations for cruelty to animals, was found chopping the hooves off live cattle. In another Texas plant with about two dozen violations, Federal officials found nine live cattle dangling from an overhead chain. Secret videos from an Iowa pork plant show hogs squealing and kicking as they are being lowered into the boiling water that will soften their hides, soften the bristles on the hogs and make them easier to skin.

I used to kill hogs. I used to help lower them into the barrels of scalding water, so that the bristles could be removed easily. But those hogs were dead when we lowered them into the barrels.

The law clearly requires that these poor creatures be stunned and rendered insensitive to pain before this process begins. Federal law is being ignored. Animal cruelty abounds. It is sickening. It is infuriating. Barbaric treatment of helpless, defenseless creatures must not be tolerated even if these animals are being raised for food–and even more so, more so. Such insensitivity is insidious and can spread and is dangerous. Life must be respected and dealt with humanely in a civilized society.

So for this reason I have added language in the supplemental appropriations bill that directs the Secretary of Agriculture to report on cases of inhumane animal treatment in regard to livestock production, and to document the response of USDA regulatory agencies.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies have the authority and the capability to take action to reduce the disgusting cruelty about which I have spoken.

Oh, these are animals, yes. But they, too, feel pain. These agencies can do a better job, and with this provision they will know that the U.S. Congress expects them to do better in their inspections, to do better in their enforcement of the law, and in their research for new, humane technologies. Additionally, those who perpetuate such barbaric practices will be put on notice that they are being watched.

I realize that this provision will not stop all the animal life in the United States from being mistreated. It will not even stop all beef, cattle, hogs and other livestock from being tortured. But it can serve as an important step toward alleviating cruelty and unnecessary suffering by these creatures. …

Thus, Mr. President, God gave man dominion over the Earth. We are only the stewards of this planet. We are only the stewards of His planet. Let us not fail in our Divine mission. Let us strive to be good stewards and not defile God´s creatures or ourselves by tolerating unnecessary, abhorrent, and repulsive cruelty.

What you can do

• Write to your congressional representatives and urge them to support humane legislation for farm animals.
• Urge the USDA to provide better inspections and enforcement (see President´s Message.)
• Write to your NYS state representatives and urge them to support the bill that mandates shelter for all owned animals.
• Please support NYSHA so we can continue our important work to promote humane legislation.

Different Forms of Animal Cruelty

It is sad to hear the news related to the animal cruelty on television or in the newspaper. The seriousness and dangerousness of animal cruelty go unnoticed in today’s fast-moving world. Animal cruelty is defined as a crime involving the infliction of pain, suffering, or death to an animal. Animal neglect can include withholding of food, water and shelter. As a result of which the animal has suffered, died, or been placed in imminent danger of death. In short, anything that is done to mistreat an animal is considered as an act of animal cruelty. People who engage in animal cruelty are monsters.

Year after year, millions of animals become subjects to bestial, barbaric and outdated test methods and experimentation. They undergo immense suffering and pain to fulfil the human desire of selfishness. The testing becomes extremely hazardous, which results in killing the innocent animals. Animals are put into zoos for human entertainment. Animals are shifted from their natural habitats by stripping them off of their ‘wildness’ and are caged into zoos. They are being subjected to humans’ social media photographs and ‘pets’ to play with them. The wild animals all across the globe face cruelty. They’ve been threatened through harassment, habitat degradation, encroachment and destruction, cruel hunting, poaching and trapping, capture and killing for profit, incidental poisoning and vehicle strikes, and culling. Even in this age of technology, many religious and cultural beliefs uphold animal abuse as a glorious fragment of their festivities.

Measure to Stop Animal Cruelty

Animal protection and welfare is enshrined as a fundamental duty in the Indian Constitution. The laws not only prohibit any threats to the animals but also punish, in case of its exertion. The Government has implemented the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. It is an act to prevent the infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering on animals and, for that purpose, to amend the law relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals that extends to the whole nation except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Moreover, the Government has made the Wildlife Protection Act, which is an umbrella act to protect the wild species, animals, birds and plants, and establish ecologically important protected areas. Also, there are many other initiatives taken by the Government to save and prevent the animals.

In our society, animal cruelty has existed from a long time, but now is the time to stop it. We must strive to improve our animal cruelty laws, train law enforcement and prosecutors so they can enforce the laws that do exist. We must educate the public to change their perspective and sensibilities about animal cruelty. We have to become advocates for our animals. Because animals cannot speak for themselves, it’s up to the public to speak for them and report animal abuse. It’s up to law enforcement and prosecutors to bring these criminals to justice and up to our courts to aggressively penalise these abusers!Students must have found this “Essay on Cruelty to Animals” helpful in improving their essay writing skills.

Animal Cruelty and Free Speech

The First Amendment protects even disturbing speech, a point the Supreme Court should keep in mind on Tuesday when it hears arguments in the case of a man convicted of selling videos of dogfighting and other animal cruelty. A federal appeals court reversed his conviction, ruling that the federal law under which he was prosecuted is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court should uphold that well-reasoned decision.

Robert Stevens, who ran a business called “Dogs of Velvet and Steel,” sold videos of pit bulls engaging in dogfights and attacking other animals. He did not participate in the attacks personally, but he was charged under a federal law that makes it illegal to sell depictions of acts of animal cruelty that are themselves illegal in the state where the depiction is sold.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, based in Philadelphia, reversed Mr. Stevens’s conviction. The Supreme Court has created narrow exceptions to the First Amendment for a few kinds of speech, including obscenity and, more recently, child pornography. The appeals court rightly declined to create another category for depictions of animal cruelty.

Some of the material in this case is truly stomach-churning. There are people who enjoy watching animals being tortured and killed. There is also, the federal government’s brief says, a market for “crush videos,” in which women trample small animals with their bare feet or while wearing high-heel shoes, images that some viewers are said to find sexually arousing. Videos are also sold showing dogfights and hog-dogfights, in which dogs attack, and sometimes kill, pigs.

This is not the only deeply offensive speech protected by the Constitution. Nazis are allowed to march, and racists are allowed to spew racism. If legislatures have the power to disapprove certain categories of unpopular speech, a lot of expression could become illegal. The government seems to think it is enough that the harm caused by the animal-cruelty depictions outweighs their social value, but the First Amendment does not say that Congress can restrict speech if it fails a balancing test.

It is also extraordinarily difficult to carve out free-speech exceptions. Animal cruelty is often depicted in videos and on Web sites that seek to call attention to the problem of animal abuse. The law makes an exception for certain depictions that have serious political, journalistic or other value, but there is no clear way to sort through all of the covered expression to determine who should be held criminally liable and who should not.

All 50 states have laws against animal abuse. The best way to fight animal cruelty is to enforce these laws more vigorously and to increase the penalties. Anyone with an ounce of decency should be tempted to ban animal-abuse videos, but anyone with an appreciation for the First Amendment understands why we cannot.

Speech on Cruelty Towards Animals

1 minute speech.

Good morning and welcome to all the people present here. I am here to say a few words about cruelty toward animals. Before starting my speech I want to thank you all for having me this valuable opportunity.

Since ancient times, humans have been using animals for different objectives. But gradually this usefulness of animals converted into the exploitation of animals. Today, humans have become very cruel towards animals for the sake of their greed.

But from nature’s point of view, animals are as vital to the planet as humans do. In fact, directly or indirectly animals affect the lives of other organisms and the ecological equilibrium of the planet. If we want to see a planet full of different life forms, we need to contribute to saving animals.

Thank you for your attention.

2 Minute Speech

Good Morning Everyone, first of all, I want to wish you all the best for the day. I am here to deliver a speech on cruelty towards animals. I am very glad to have this tremendous opportunity.

Research suggests that the human population is growing at a heavy pace while some animal and species numbers are continuously declining on the planet. There are various reasons behind this but human greed is one of the greatest reasons.

Natural habitats of animals are being destroyed by humans for land development and farming. Hunting and poaching of animals are other awful factors contributing to the extinction of wildlife. This is done for obtaining meat, leather, fur and teeth etc.

Further, animals are the ones who are used for drug testing to ensure that no harm is done to any human during the development of a new medicine but what about the animals? This way we might develop new medicines but a lot of animals has to sacrifice their life. Can humans do the same thing for animals? Of course, you know the answer.

We have forgotten that Nature is not privileging human beings but it also treats other animals equally important. This is a critical problem for the planet and for the existence of life on the planet. Thus, Saving animals is the need of the hour.

This is what I wanted to say about animals. Thank you.

3 Minute Speech

Greetings to everyone present here.

Most Reputable teachers and honourable principals and loved friends. first of all, I want to wish you all the best wishes for the day. Also, I am here today to deliver a speech on cruelty towards animals.

Planet Earth is home to numerous living organisms. Animals both large and small are a critical component of our environment. They are equally important as other species. But humans have been using each component of the environment for the sake of their pleasure.

Earlier, animals were used as a method of transportation. Gradually, humans started using them in many other activities such as farming, protection, sports and entertainment without thinking if animals are okay. This is pure cruelty towards animals.

Moreover, animals are also used to cater for our entertainment in the forms of circuses, races and fight competitions. People enjoy riding on horses, camels and elephants. Many people also come door to door to display the tricks of animals to entertain children.

For non-vegetarian people, animals are a source of food. They get eggs and meat which is considered the best source of protein. There are various types of meats that come from different animals available in the market. More than half of the population consumes a non-vegetarian diet. This is the reason behind the killing of animals for no reason. Do you feel it is justice?

There is a lot to say but I need to stop here. I hope you liked my speech. Thank you for your valuable attention.

Speech on Animals

Animals are all around us, in the forests, oceans, and even in our backyards. They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, each with their own unique characteristics.

You might have a pet, seen animals at a zoo, or watched them on TV. They are an essential part of our world, providing beauty, companionship, and balance to our ecosystem.

1-minute Speech on Animals

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Animals are not just creatures that live with us on this Earth, they are our friends, our guides, and our teachers. They share our home, the world. They live in the forests, the seas, the skies, and even our backyards. Animals are everywhere, and they play a big part in making our world beautiful and full of life.

Animals are also very important for our Earth. Bees, for example, help flowers grow by carrying pollen from one flower to another. This is called pollination. Without bees, we wouldn’t have as many flowers, fruits, and other plants. Worms help make the soil rich and good for plants by breaking down dead leaves and other things. Birds eat harmful bugs and help keep our environment clean.

Animals also teach us about love and care. Pets like dogs and cats show us how to love unconditionally. They are always happy to see us and they stay by our side when we are sad or sick. They teach us to be kind, to be patient, and to care for others.

But, animals are in danger. Many are losing their homes because of things like cutting down trees and pollution. Some are being hunted for their skin or bones. We need to protect them. We can do this by not littering, by planting more trees, and by not buying things made from animal parts.

In conclusion, animals are a very important part of our world. They help the Earth, they teach us important lessons, and they make our world more beautiful. Let’s do our part to protect them and keep our world full of life.

2-minute Speech on Animals

Good day, everyone! Today, let’s talk about animals, our friends who share this planet with us.

Firstly, animals are everywhere! From the deepest parts of the ocean to the highest mountains, from the hottest deserts to the coldest poles, animals live in all kinds of environments. They come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny ants to huge elephants. Some can fly, some can swim, others run or crawl. Isn’t it amazing how diverse they are?

Secondly, animals help us in many ways. Dogs and cats are our pets, giving us company and love. Horses, camels, and elephants have been used for transportation for centuries. Bees help to pollinate flowers, which helps plants to grow. Even worms play a big role in making soil fertile for plants. So, animals are important for both our happiness and our survival.

Thirdly, animals play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. In a food chain, each animal has a specific role. If one animal disappears, it affects all the others. For example, if there are no frogs, there will be too many insects, because frogs eat insects. This shows that all animals are interconnected and depend on each other.

But sadly, many animals are in danger today. They are losing their homes because forests are being cut down, oceans are being polluted, and climates are changing. Many animals are also hunted for their skin, bones, or other body parts. This is called poaching. We need to stop these harmful actions to save our animal friends.

So, what can we do? We can start by learning more about animals. The more we know about them, the more we can do to help them. We can also recycle and reduce waste to keep their homes clean. We can speak out against hunting and poaching. And most importantly, we can show kindness to all animals, big or small.

In conclusion, animals are a vital part of our world. They make our lives better and keep nature in balance. But they need our help. Let’s all do our part to protect and care for animals. Remember, a world with happy, healthy animals is a world that is happy and healthy for us too. Thank you!

3 Minute Speech On Animals In English

Good morning one and all. Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, it is my pleasure and privilege to stand before you today. I am honored to have this opportunity to speak to such a distinguished audience.Today on this occasion, I would like to talk about animals.

Animals, such a common term used everyday yet its significance unappreciated. For centuries humans have lived on this earth, however, they are not alone. They share this beautiful world with magnificent creatures. 

These magnificent beasts play a major role in maintaining the balance in the ecosystem. They help their cohabitants by facilitating agriculture, transport and food. The earliest transport to aid humankind were animals. Animals are essential to our society because they give us food, clothing and friendship.

The dog is a man’s most loyal friend. They have accompanied us faithfully and served as an example for numerous nations and civilizations throughout history. Each one has distinctive adaptations, behaviours, and qualities, making them fascinating and diverse. 

However, as our numbers increase, so do the effects we have on wildlife and their environments. Animal populations are being negatively impacted by people in a number of ways, including habitat degradation, pollution, poaching, and overfishing. This can disrupt the equilibrium of entire ecosystems in addition to having a harmful effect on specific organisms.

The existence of numerous animal species depends on conservation activities including wildlife refuges, marine protected areas, and breeding programmes for threatened species. These initiatives safeguard not only the animals themselves but also the ecological systems on which they rely.

Additionally, building a more sustainable future for both people and animals depends on educating the public about the significance of conservation and the effects that human activities have on wildlife. 

In conclusion, we must ensure the survival of animals because they are essential to our world. We can make sure that future generations will be able to experience and appreciate the magnificence and diversity of the animal kingdom by saving endangered species and their habitats.
