Animal Cruelty Needs To Stop!
Animal Cruelty
Sitting
on Elephants
Elephants'
spines cannot support the weight of people and doing so all day can lead to
permanent spinal injuries. This can lead to death and immense pain. There are
further complications from having a chair attached to their backs. This chair
rubs on their backs, causing blisters that can become infected. Wild elephants
generally won't let humans ride on top of them. In order to tame a wild
elephant, it is tortured as a baby to completely break its spirit. The process
is called Phajaan, or “the crush”.
Greyhound
Dogs Killed for Being too Slow
Another
example of animal cruelty is when Greyhound’s race. If they injure themselves
or become too slow, they get killed. Lots of these are young pups who have lost
competitiveness. A key issue to emerge
from the 2016 inquiry was the euthanasia of healthy greyhounds. Evidence
suggests that, over 12 years, between 48,891 and 68,448 dogs were killed
because they were considered “too slow to pay their way or were unsuitable for
racing”. On average around five dogs are killed at official races each week as
a result of greyhound racing.
Cockfighting
To rooster
that are bred for fighting have their talons and beaks sharpened to daggers.
They will fight to death and get jeered until one of them die. Cockfighting
still persists in all sorts of communities and among all
sorts of people.
