When i first started writing this post, I was going to do it on how animal cruelty should be stopped. After reading a few articles, I saw that many many studies have PROVEN that animal cruelty leads to rape, child abuse and even murder; not only murdering animals but humans. One article I read had this quote,
If you break it (animal cruelty) down to it's bare essentials:
"Abusing an animal is a way for a human to find power/joy/fulfillment through the torture of a victim they know can not defend themselves.
Now break down a human crime, say rape. If we substitute a few pronouns, it's the SAME THING.
Rape is a way for a human to find power/joy/fulfillment through the torture of a victim they know can not defend themselves.
Now try it with domestic abuse, such as child abuse or spousal abuse.
Child abuse is a way for a human to find power/joy/fulfillment through the torture of a victim they know can not defend themselves.
Do you see the pattern here?
(That was found at Pet-Abuse.com)
Most murders or rapists have some type of animal abuse in their past. FBI supervisory Special Agent Allen Brantley was quoted as saying, "Animal cruelty is not a harmless venting of emotion in a harmless individual as many may say, this is a warning sign." So it's not just us little girls that care about the unicorn's of this world.....the FBI even realizes that animal cruelty is a HUGE problem. Not only for the animals, but for all of us, including humans.

So what do you think? Is animal cruelty simply a harmless venting of emotions, or is it something more?
I think animal cruelty is the most horrid thing. I think law enforcement needs to be more stirct on it. I also think that it can be realted to child abuse.
ReplyDeleteHi sammy! I completely agree with you. I love cats and dogs and can never imagine my animals being beaten or killed. I dont understand how anyone could possibly hurt an animal. Also, i agree with you about how animal cruilty can lead to more such as child abuse, rape, and even murder. The law enforcement really needs to buckle down and try to stop and catch as many animal beaters as possible.

Hello May,
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, who are you? =)
animal cruelty is like the worst thing in the world. it kills me to know that there are psychos out there that torture animals! they never did any harm to you, so why abuse them or kill them?! it just don't make any sense at all in my eyes.
ReplyDeletei agree that animal abuse could lead to more also. I love animals and i don't see how someone could even think about harming an animal.
ReplyDeleteanimal abuse is sick. someone would have to have a sick mind to abuse an animal. i love animals enough to show care and compassion for them. they have feelings too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with rose, I adore animals and i believe that there lives are just as important as humans. The abuse NEEDS to stop before it gets to a whole new level.
