Animal cruelty can be defined as how people in the world treat animals without using their humanity for their own needs. In order to prevent it, many animal activists are making campaigns by posting movies on the Internet, DVD, and sometimes on the television programs. As I watched 5 movies about animal cruelty, which are Fur Farms in China; Canadian Seal slaughter; Shark Finning; Kentucky Fried Chicken – chicken abuse and sheep mulesing , All of them are showing the way human treating the animals badly for fulfilling the human needs.
In my opinion, we have to stop the animal cruelty, but we can’t resist that it is very controversial to stop it. Why? Now a day, many people are buying fancy leather and fur goods, but they never know how the leather and fur are obtained. In the Fur Farm in China movie, people are hanging the animals and taking their fur even though they are still alive. Not just only on the Fur goods, Animal cruelty could happen in order to produce foods. Shark finning is one of the examples. After the fisherman got the shark, they cut all of the fins and the shark is thrown back into the water afterwards.
As you know, fish needs their fins to stay alive because without it is the same as human without their nose. They are using those techniques because of the efficiency. They only take what they need and throw away the junk. Even though people know how cruel it is, they are still consuming it because of the tastes and the advantages to us. In order to stop it, the campaign has been made. Even though it is very convincing, we can’t deny that there some other factors for animal cruelty to occurred.
Economics’ situation is for example. As you know about the recent economics’ situation, where people are hard to find a job and unemployment is not balance with the job vacancies, efficiency is what people are looking for. No matter whether it is in time or the profit that it can give for us. When they found that animal cruelty is the answer for it, people use it to make an income for themselves. Although we can’t stop people not to take the product of the animal, we still can give them an advice to at least stop the cruelty.
Kill them using injection before take their body parts is one of the way to stop it. In conclusion, I hope that the government takes concern of animal cruelty and that it should be stopped. There are lots of advantages towards the human from the animals; therefore we shouldn’t take it for granted. Animals are also a living organism, just like us but different in appearances and habitat. What ever we do, I think that it is not right to torture animals as some of our daily consumptions come from animals itself.
