Can you show me some bullet points why we should hunt whales?
* most species of whales have not yet recovered from commercial whaling
making their numbers too low for hunting
* hunting whales will upset ecosystem and leaving an imbalance
* marine mammals have a high mercury content making them toxic for consumption
* killing and eating of whales is cruel and barbaric
* whalers often kill the calves (babies) so mothers will not leave making them an easy kill
There are too many arguments to list.

Can another human give a dog mange bye touching a dog with mange?
Yes. Mange is contagious. Get those dogs to a veterinarian ASAP!
AnswerIt depends on if it is demodectic or sarcoptic mange. "Red mange" has been used to describe both. Demodectic mange is a mite that all dogs have-- they receive it from their mother shortly after birth. Sometimes the populations of this mite grow out of control due to immune issues, large amounts of stress, or adolescence. Sarcoptic mange is contagious to both humans and other dogs, but is easier of the two to treat.
ANSWER:
Demodectic mange is not contagious all dogs carry this mange. But the reason a dog will have an issue with the mange getting out of control is due to another underlying issue, such as yeast. Vets will treat the mange with ivermectin, prednisone and antibiotics when really all you need to do is change your dogs diet. Go to www.milehighbullmastiffs and there is a link to a book that will tell you how to cure this and how to keep your pet as healthy as possible for the rest of it's life.

Why are children cruel to animals?
First off.. what do you exactly mean by why do small children kill animals? If you are talking about small animals such as mice, hamsters etc. I would say it's because they don't have proper supervision. Also, Children watch what their parents or older siblings, relatives, friends etc. do and might be acting on what they have seen. Children should always be supervised around any animal and they should also be taught to treat animals good.
Do rodeos promote animal cruelty?
Well, my opinion of that question would be that most of the time the bulls or horses in a rodeo are wild, therefore it is harmful to them to stick them in big circle surrounded by tall, two-legged idiots who come to watch the violence and injustice of it all. Also, the animal might get hurt in another way, such as rolling on the ground and breaking their necks, slamming into the wall an having a concussion, etc.. Now, what I say about rodeos is that they are a total waste of time, and all the animals that are forced to endure such torment be set free!!!

Unfortunately, the question of animal cruelty does not fall under the umbrella of expertise. It is a question of individual, community, and national moral principles. Animal cruelty, like other forms of cruelty including slavery, child and spousal abuse, the death penalty and war are controversial issues which evolve in a cultural context over time. It depends upon legal policies of what or whom is included into the moral sphere that encompasses the rights of an individual or group:What is acceptable by a society today (i,e slavery) may be deemed horrendous tomorrow.

How can tests on drugs be done if you cant use animals?
Strictly speaking no one has a natural right to harm other living things without their permission. However in reality would you kill an animal in order to save a member of your family or yourself from illness's? and for that mater do you check to see if the drugs you are taking were tested by animals. The harsh reality is that humans are the top of the pile and for them to stay that way they need to do it the way they are doing it.
What level of government deals with animal abuse?
The government writes and enforces legislation against animal cruelty and abuse. Some measures apply throughout the entire country, while others are regional.
In the United States, the Humane Society provides a ranking of each state based on animal protection laws.
They usually hunt for animals in areas that are protected enviroments, and for the endangered animals, becaused they will bring the larger prices, many times dead or alive. They set leg traps near steams and watering holes. They dig out pits dug into the ground and then covered over with branches and leaves on major trails, usually going to and from watering holes. They also set up nets set to spring with some form of food to entice the animal they are trapping to step into the trap. They also use vehicles to herd and stampede the animals, cutting some from the herd, and then killing them. Some want the animals alive and as young as possible, so they may have to kill the mother to take the babies from them. Where the age might not matter, they just want it alive, especially with reptiles. Then with birds, if they are knowledgeable, they can just steal the eggs and raise the chicks from hatchlings. I'm sure this is not all the ways that poacher's hunt, they can be very clever and use means that I would never imgaine using on an animal. They are constantly coming up with new ways to get what they consider to be nothing more than a marketable item, showing no respect for the laws protecting the animals or the animals themselves.
Which is the lowest point on the earth?
The Challenger Deep, in the Mariana trench near Guam, is Earths lowest known place.
Do you agree that animals should be treated with the same respect as humans?
I'm going to try to offer an answer without putting any of my own viewpoints into it. People believe animals should be treated just as well as humans for different reasons. Some people belong to religions, such as Hinduism, whose followers recognize animal deities or believe their ancestors can reincarnate in the form of an animal. Others simply recognize the immense ways animals have contributed to humankind over the years, providing us with transportation, food, clothing, and companionship. And from this recognition comes appreciation for them, to a point at which animals are seen as our equals--or, at the very least, they deserve the same level of treatment, respect, and affection we do. But perhaps the biggest reason people think animals should be treated just as well as humans is they see no reason NOT to treat them just as well. They too can feel physical pain, they too suffer when they're neglected, abandoned, and abused. They too thrive on affection. People figure, why not treat them just as well as we should treat one another? There really is no logical or ethical argument for the inferior treatment of animals. ________________________
PLEASE READ THIS IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO ME. the animals have helped developed many medicines and surgical techniques. i won a debate about animal testing and everyone in my class thought animal testing was so mean and at first everyone was with the affirmative side but once they heard what we had to say they ended up siding with us. that just proves that most people make opinions without doing research for both sides of the argument. we don't give the animals much credit and i think they should have some type of holiday for the animals in animal testing. maybe give them a day off. but the truth is we need them that's all there is to it. unless you want to go up and have them test on you. don't be a hypocrite and protest against it.
ok so i take this question a little diffrent. i take it as farm animals like horses for instance. i think you should put your animal in an inviroment close to what it would be in the wild. like no heated barns they stay outside. and i don't put blankets on them they have a coat and the blanket gets it so that coat wont grow. if they were in the wild they wouldn't have that. animals have their instinct and they are smartenough to figure things out they have for years. don't get me rong i respect my animals and i think people do need to realize wat these wonderfull animals have done for us and a holiday would be great i think people take this animal abuse to far. like if a horse kicks you i think you have every right to hit it back. in the wild that's wat would happen. im not saying beating but you need to get the point across your the boss not them.
My opinion differs from those above. With regard to the first answer, the primary assumption seems to be that our (i.e., human) needs or desires come before and above any other creature's needs or desires. Man is not the only animal in this world, and he's not the only one needed to sustain it. Why should Man's needs come before those of other species? Simply because we appear to have a greater intelligence than many? Wouldn't a better use of that intelligence be to find a way to make life better for ALL the world's animals, including humans? I would make the argument that animal testing is no longer necessary and, should volunteers be needed for a test, at least humans can voice whether or not they choose to participate. An animal is given no such choice and I do not believe that we have the right to "volunteer" them. By the way, giving the animals used in testing a "holiday" would be like giving slaves a day off from whippings; a sad and sorry gesture meant to ease the conscience of those who abuse them. With regard to the second answer above, I'd have to disagree with: 1) treating animals that have long been domesticated and used by Man as if they are still wild and still have the resources their ancestors did, and 2) hitting or beating an animal that you have asked to work with you. Domesticated animals do not have the survival skills their ancestors did and have become dependent upon humans. To expect them to provide their own warmth, shelter, or food neglects the owner's responsibilities to their animals. Similarly, to hit or beat an animal whose "rules" of communication or trust you've broken (if a horse kicks you, it has perceived you as a threat, intended or not) is to abandon the intelligence you possess to solve a problem and instead resort to expressing your anger violently. It's much easier, and better for all, to work with animals in a leader/follower relationship than in a boss/slave relationship.
I agree with the last person in for the most. A holiday for animals would mean nothing to the animals. Unlike we humans, they are not goal oriented, emotional, or contemplative. I won't deny that animals are smart. My dog pees on my shoes if I don't take her places, but I also know she's not human. She doesn't need to be talked to or know her parents.To address why people think that she should, I'll put it in one word; Disneyesk-anthropomorphism; because of Disney and other media types, humans have related themselves to stories of animals. They believe that Bambi knew his father when naturally deer breed and run. They believe that because of Lady and the Tramp, that dogs fall in love and are gregarious. They believe that because of Finding Nemo that every fish must stay in the ocean because they've got a frog-fish flipper and have to support their dads because their mom got eaten in a very unfortunate series of events. They think that because of Babe, every little pig has a mind of its own and fears the chopping block. Having been raised on a farm, I know these things to be false. Humans try to make humans out of animals, when they're completely different all together.

I think that some people think, "Treat them how you want to be treated." So if you think like that too, wouldn't you not like it if you were treated differently?
This is also REALLY IMPORTANT: I respect the answers given, but nobody has really argued the opinion that I have myself. People ARE animals, like it or not. You are an animal, but you're blinded by civilization to the reality of the matter.
We are raised to be blinded like this. If children were raised in the wild they'd behave savage, because that's who we really are.
In short, animals are only different to humans in the way that your left hand is different from your right, one isn't developed and the other is over-developed.
well think about it this way: if u wer an animal (what am i saying, humans r animals), how would u like it if u were treated cruelly? or, if u were a poor human, how would u like it if u saw sume really pampered poodle walking down the street or something?
NO.Toy poodles are very clean and neat dogs.However when they stink they smell like they hav rolled in something dead.THAT'S WHEN YOU GIVE THEM A BATH. Toy poodles are very friendly but they are sometimes timmed and scared of people they dont know.
Why is it good to harm animals?
Destroying habitats destroys animals' homes and food supplies. For example, the giant panda is endangered because there isn't enough bamboo. Humans are cutting down the bamboo forests for their own needs. Even though bamboo is a fast growing plant, they are being cut down faster than they can regrow. A giant panda's diet is 99% bamboo, with the other 1% consisting of small animals and other vegetation.
How many animals are put to sleep at the humane society?
I think it depends on which humane society.There is one is pensacola fl
that maintains a no kill shelter and adoption center.But in others if they are running out of space they might put some animals to sleep.
Why do some humans disregard animal life?
People can be mean to animals for various reasons. Some people kill or abandon animals because the animal is not wanted. Some people are mean because they are just twisted, mean people. Some people don't feed their animals because they can't afford it. Sometimes, people just forget about their animals. If you see a stray animal, contact your local ASPCA. Make donations to the local shelter to help them take care of all the animals that go neglected.
How is carabao helpful or harmful to people?
Carabaos are helpful to people because they can be used for milk and food. They can be harmful because it is a large animal that could stomp on a person and kill them.
When did animal cruelty begin?
Probably with the first interaction between humans and non humans. When a cat plays with a mouse I doubt that it is cruelty because cats don't have the abstract understanding that humans have. when a human does the same sort of thing and they do then it is cruelty because they do understand.
