13. What Is Animal Cruelty and <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

How Can We stop it For Good?<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Animal cruelty is real and pervasive. It happens to all different types of animals and in every corner of the world. It\u2019s also preventable and unnecessary.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every 60 seconds, an animal gets abused. That\u2019s unconscionable, especially in our advanced culture, but animal cruelty continues to occur all over the world. Animal cruelty can take many different forms, but the impact is always the same. And it needs to stop.<\/em><\/p>\n

The problem is that there aren\u2019t enough people fighting for animal rights. If everyone started to look at animals \u2014 and not just dogs and cats \u2014 as fellow animals who share our planet, we would see far fewer cases of cruelty toward animals.<\/em><\/p>\n

First, though, we have to spread awareness. What is animal cruelty? What does it look like? And how can we stop contributing to it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Animal cruelty is the abuse toward or neglect of an animal. It\u2019s that simple. Some aspects of animal cruelty involve purposefully putting animals in situations that harm, scare, and terrorize them, while others simply result from people looking the other way.<\/em><\/p>\n

In some cases, animal neglect stems from ignorance. A person keeps an animal on his\/her property and doesn\u2019t know how to properly care for that animal. This isn\u2019t a justification for the neglect, but a recognition that we need to educate people about the animals in their care.<\/em><\/p>\n

Neglect can also stem from disinterest. If a dog owner notices that the animal has sustained an injury, he or she is morally and legally obligated to obtain veterinary care. Unfortunately, some people are unwilling to spend the time and money necessary to heal their sick or injured pets.<\/em><\/p>\n

Similarly, a companion animal might go days or weeks without food because the owner \u201cjust forgets.\u201d That\u2019s not an excuse. Every day, emaciated, diseased, flea-ridden animals enter shelters. Some get adopted by loving families. Others aren\u2019t so lucky.<\/em><\/p>\n

Worse, some animals spend their entire lives in neglectful circumstances. They eventually die of dehydration, malnutrition, untreated diseases, or other conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some people believe that animals truly don\u2019t emote. They believe that human beings are the only animal on earth that can feel pain, fear, sadness, joy, despair, and hope. Those people are wrong. Anyone who has pets can attest that animals absolutely feel emotions. They experience joy when they get to play with a new toy, pain when they injure themselves; fear when they\u2019re confronted with a new experience, sadness when someone they love dies. But emotions aren\u2019t limited to dogs and cats.<\/em><\/p>\n

As more people become aware of animal cruelty, we\u2019ll have more power to stop it.<\/em><\/p>\n
