Over the years has pet abuse gotten better or worse?

Within the last ten years there has been a great deal of legislation passed targeting animal abuse. It has now become a very serious crime.

Why is the leatherback tortoise becoming extinct?

Leatherback sea turtles are not extinct, but they are critically endangered. They are often caught in commercial nets. There are safety devices in many of these nets to allow sea turtles to escape, but leatherbacks are so huge, that the adults often cannot fit through the escape (known as a turtle excluder device).

Another problem is that they sometimes ingest garbage that resembles other foods. This can cause a fatal blockage.

How many horses are slaughtered each year?

Horse meat is eaten in a number of countries in Europe and Asia. The British newspaper The Daily Mail estimates that 100,000 horses are transported annually into and around the European Union for consumption.

Horse meat is considered a taboo food in many English-speaking countries (including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and others), in Brazil, in India, as well as among the Romani people and under Jewish dietary laws. In countries and cultures where horses are commonly regarded as companion animals, the idea of consuming horse meat may be particularly repugnant.

Is not having a pet vaccinated abuse?

Not having your pet vaccinated is neglect. This is when you do not take care of something or someone for whom you are responsible. Pets cannot prevent illness by themselves; they cannot make medicine or heal themselves if they become seriously ill. Pet vaccinations prevent most serious illnesses and keep them from spreading to others.

In some ways it is. You should take your pet to the vet once a year at least. If you aren't able to do that, then don't get a pet. Going to the vet helps your animal and animals around him/Hesperus You don't want you pet making other pets sick, or have your pet being sick.

It is a little bit -if you don't, your animal will get sick and can possibly die. If you don't want your furry little companion to have that illness, then go to the vet every year at least.

I believe so. If the animal gets sick of something that could have been prevented, it is your fault because he/she was not protected. Vaccination is like your flu shot.

It's not abuse because in the wild they don't get vaccinated and most of them are just fine. I don't vaccinate my cat and she's just fine too. When she gets sick we give her medicine. and she rarely gets sick. she is an inside cat though. but if your planning on taking your pets outside then it's best to vaccinate them I vaccinate my dogs because they go outside.

Neglect is a form of abuse here in the UK.

I am a big fan of the animal human society. I am not going to get mad at you because I do not know if you didn't get your pet vaccinated. Not getting your pet vaccinated is like not getting your H1N1 shot then getting the swine flu.

If you don't have the money to vaccinate your pet don't get worried, just call your local SPCA or animal human society, don't worry your not alone.

Reasons for the animal rights movement?

They came about because animals have feelings, they are not just a pet. a pet that doesn't talk, no. a pet will talk to you if your willing to listen. A pet always should and always will have rights because theydeserve it. i mean how would you feel if you were treated badly if you were abused. they don't even have a chance. they go threw life without a choice. they shouldn't ever be treated badly because they just don't need it they don't deserve it. look up stuff about puppymills. they are so mean and frustrating. they are unhealthy to animals and the environment just think about it.

How people who harm and abuse individuals conceal what is happening?

To conceal it well, they need to have power over victim. To gain this power they spend quite a while in early stages of relationship convincing victim they are all they have and are dependant on them. Threats are common, they instill fear in the victim.

Because the victim feels love for the person and believes they have noone else, they do what they are told and even help to conceal the abuse themselves.

Its a mind game. I know this. I was a victim. So if you think someone is being abused, they most likely are, but will not admit it because of fear. They will even defend the abuser.

Are human rights more important than animal rights?

This is a difficult question to answer. Both human rights and animal rights are very important to have in society. If you have to choose between one of them, however, it can be argued that human rights are more important than animal rights, simply because humans are on a higher ethical and intellectual level than animals, and as such humans are more aware of injustice and can therefore suffer more from injustice than animals. However, if you look at it from a moral point of view, you have to say both are equally important because if we as humans have to live in a society where there are only human rights and animals suffer and have no rights, we have lost our humanity and thus, are not human anymore and as a result our human rights become worthless.

Unfortunately, though, any discussion of rights tends to invoke the legal system of whatever nation you're in. The US court system does not recognize animal rights as usually defined due to the fact that animals cannot reasonably be expected to carry out any duties, and are accordingly denied rights. Animals are afforded protection against abuse, though the protection varies from state to state.

What is a puppy mill and why are they bad for people and dogs?

A puppy mill is a large-scale commercial dog breeding operation where profit is given priority over the well-being of the dogs. Unlike responsible breeders, who place the utmost importance on producing the healthiest puppies possible, breeding at puppy mills is performed without consideration of genetic quality. This results in generations of dogs with unchecked hereditary defects.

How do you save a horse from slaughter?

There are many sites available, you can simply Google 'Stop Horse Slaughter' and take your pick of sites. Horse Slaughter in most places is cruel and having it around gives breeders an 'out' for overproducing too many foals, like the American Quarter Horse Association. They over breed on an appalling scale. The best way to 'dispose' of unwanted horses is to simply have them put to sleep and if you have no where to bury the body or money to cremate it you can have the body hauled off or donate it to a veterinarian college for science.

Why might some people not agree with animal abuse?

Most animal rights activists place their generalized focus and awareness on the issue of animal rights. Animal rights activists do empathize with the negativity that comes along in the human rights movement, along with situations that humankind faces.

Animal rights activists, however, feel that the consideration of a right to life needs to be extended to animals, and the animal rights activist will most always stand up for the animal before the human because the animal itself, has no voice on it's own behalf in the human world, as compared to the human having it's own voice and authority.

What causes people to kill anamals?

It is for a variety of reasons like:

survival/food

mating

Obviously, for survival they want food, so they prey on other animals. Also, they kill other animals for survival if the animal is the one being preyed on.

Interestingly for mating, usually male animals fight each other for a female to show that they are the strongest (which means they have better genetics). So whichever male animal comes out the strongest, they mate with the female.
