4. Cruelty to animals, also
called animal abuse is the
crime of inflicting
suffering or harm upon
animals, for purposes
other than self- defence.
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.
5. 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.
6. Not many of us know the truth behind
the “HAPPY MEAL” served in mc
donalds or the chicken bucket served
in KFC.
KFC and Mc. Donalds are two leading
fast food ventures involved in bird
torture.
Activities: hanging the birds upside-
down by their legs and running their
heads through an electrified bath that
often doesn't shock them sufficiently
to be knocked unconscious as their
throats are slit and their bodies are
dunked in tanks of scalding-hot water
for feather removal.
Their beaks are chopped off by hot
blades.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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..?
