Animal Rights and Abuse

yes, they are part of the big company, Unilever so read the back of all soaps and shampoos and stuff that you buy and if they say Unilever at the bottom of the back or where all the writing and information don't buy it. another good thing to do is research on Google which companies test on animals and when your in the shop read the back of the product to see if it is tested on animals

Yes

Plankton, seaweed, polyps they are the creatures that make up coral :-). Hope these were the kind of suggestions that you were looking for. You could say Humans produce water, but its just urine, so. :P

That solely depends on the location. For example, in China (on the Chinese fur farms) several thousands dogs, raccoons, cats, and other small animals die each day.

(see the related link)

about 20million dogs can die just around the world but hey don't get ur hopes up get another dog how bad will it be

There never seems to be enough money to help abused animals. Just there doesn't seem to be enough money to help abused mothers and abused children. It is impossible to put a cost on eliminating animal abuse. Take a trip to a local shelter or animal rescue mission and walk the kennels. It'll tear your heart out. You cannot believe what people do to animals, and only by seeing it through the eyes of the animal services officers, the police or the veterinarians who treat these abused critters do you have an idea of the disgrace we, as a society, live in because the way we, as that society, treat animals that we have bred and raised for no other purpose than to be our companions.

There are just three species of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.

The natural environment of platypuses and short-beaked echidnas is located in Australia. The long-beaked echidna is found in Papua New Guinea.

There are no benefits of testing products on animals whatsoever

of course it is. of course it is.

The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a symbol of elegance. But these ads fail to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.

Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating.

To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.

Many animals are endangered or extinct because of this practice.

Fur is not 'green'. Marketers of fur products have always compared the bio degradation of fur to only fake fur. It is important to realize that the alternative to fur is any and every fabric and textile there is. Fur is no better than the many fabrics out there that also decompose easily. The term, "biodegradable", remains unregulated in Canada.3 It may be surprising to note that certain types of plastic bags are also being marketed as biodegradable. According to Don Jardine, Director of Pollution Prevention with PEI's Department of Environment, "Companies are using their own standards. It may say biodegrade, even if it takes 15 years." 4 It is also interesting to note that marketers of fur products contradict themselves claiming that fur biodegrades and lasts for generations. How long, exactly, does it take for the chemically soaked and treated fur coats to break down in the landfill - Generations?

Buzz words, such as "organic" or "natural" have also been misleadingly used by the fur trade. To describe a product as "organic" or "natural" is to imply that the production of such product involves neither artificial chemical treatment nor disruption to our eco-system. The washing, drying, tanning, dyeing, and trimming of fur require extensive chemical treatment. The trapping and removing of millions of wildlife from our environment is disruptive to our eco-system. And there is certainly nothing natural or green about cruelly ripping the skins off the animals' backs.

Not purchasing fur from animals will decrease the demand for it and therefore hunter's will have no need to kill animals for their fur.

well, there is plenty that you could do at this age.

For example:

volunteering at a nursing home

cleaning up garbage on the beach (with life guard permission)

volunteering at an animal shelter

In shelters alone, approximately 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year. It is hard to get a completely accurate answer, because not all shelters report, or are required to report all euthanasias. These numbers are from the Humane Society Website.

Some celebrity activists are Bob Barker, Betty White, Paul McCartney, Angelina Jolie.

In all reality, you aren't stupid, though I do not have an exact answer for you, myself, as I am researching the topic. In many cases it can scar an animal for life, leaving them unable to live their lives to the full they once did. When an animal is abused it can can harm the animal e.g Brain damage. Brake bones. Some times you could Kill. Its not good to abuse your animal its just like harming your own kid! Animal abuse is very bad, very wrong and a really stupid thing to do. People usually abuse and neglect animals for pure amusement, just because animals can't fight back to iron sticks, electro-shocks, or just to bare hands!

Animals feel pain, sadness, loneliness, fear of death, actually - they feel all the bad feelings just as we do when they get hurt for no reason.

People that usually hurt them are mentally sick and need to get cured, cuz these people aren't just a danger to animals. They are dangerous for children and other people as well, because if they can really harm such a sweet and innocent living being as an animal, they don't know what love is and are willing to kill anything.

it depends on your culture and where you live. for example, people in the US would never eat dog, but Chinese find it a delicacy.

People eat most animals depends on the country where people live.

Horse, dog, cat, pig, cow, sheep, goat, rat, whale, dolphin, caribou, deer, monkey, snake, etc etc

Pharmaceutical companies force feed or pump drugs into the stomachs of animals to test for side effects and toxicity levels. These tests are typically conducted on rats, mice, and non human primates. Cosmetic and heigeine companies typically put their products in the eyes, nose, ears, and mouths of animals to test the reaction. These tests are usually conducted on small mammals including rabbits. Typically, once certain tests are completed the animals are cut open while still living to reveal the effects on the animal's anatomy. Other experiments deal with electric shocks in order to discourage certain behavior. Also, trauma experiments used to train field surgeons deal with the shooting, stabbing, burning, or abuse of live animals including dogs, cats, pigs and goats.

in many different ways depending on how humane the trap is the foot trap and the cage trap. typically they are made from metal and close the animal in when it springs the trap but sticky paper for rats is also considered an animal trap.

Because the people who are involved in this business don't think even for a moment of what they are really doing other then make as much money as possible as quickly as possible. It would not be efficient to worry about that sort of thing.

(Different commenter) Also, I hear that it makes it easier to skin the animal and keep the hide in one piece when they are still alive. So combine that with it being cheaper to not get drugs to at least knock out the animal, and...

Kittens that are six weeks old are probably only starting to take an interest, or picking at solid food. At this age they will still be suckling from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws.

Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food as, even softened with water, kittens may still not be able to eat it. As the kittens get older and bigger, you can slowly decrease the amount of water or kitten milk you use in the food, and leave slightly larger chunks for them to chew.

Be sure to feed them from a plate, as it is easier for the kittens to pick up the food.

As for liquids, they are still probably drinking a lot from mum. You can leave down a shallow saucer of water, but they may not touch this until they have stopped feeding from their mother completely.

They don't.

Extinct animals are animals that are all gone, no living ones left.

So you can't poach what's not there.

But maybe you're wondering why people poach animals that are merely endangered - still hanging on in small numbers.

That's simple, either they think that their need - what they can gain from killing that animal - is more important than that species being around in the future.

Or they think that one more won't make any difference.

Littering, using items that don't break down, global warming, using cars, cutting down trees, taking animals out of their habitat, polluting waters, fishing, using fishing nets, releasing animals in the wrong environment.

mean people :'C poor rabbits, never got to have a good life

Selling the fur of an animal as a luxury item sure does create controversy. We have alternatives these days. In the caveman days. killing animals for their fur was the only way to create an article of clothing that would keep you warm.

I don't think it is wrong, with just a few exceptions. If you breed and raise minks for example, and you feed them and treat them well, but ultimately wind up killing them humanely (what a word) for their fur, it is not an evil thing. Clubbing baby seals to death in front of their mothers for their fur is different and evil and unacceptable. Who am I to make this distinction? I am just a person with an opinion. I can and will draw the line between good and bad, and I have my reasons for doing so.
