Animal Rights and Abuse

In high kill animal shelters, the dogs are kept for a maximum of 9 days before they are euthanized. they give a 9 day frame either for the rightful owner to claim the animal back or to see if it can be adopted. Sadly, most of the animals are euthanized. Especially, pregnant dogs and small puppies are euthanized right away. They have absolutely no chance of survival in these shelters.

well. if you could get on it without it eating you.

There are a number of theories regarding the domestication of the horse. Although horses appeared in Paleolithic cave art as early as ca 30,000 BC, these were truly wild horses and were probably hunted for meat; how and when horses became domesticated is less clear. The most common date of domestication and use as a means of transport is c. 2000 BC, although in the Kurgan hypothesis the domestication of horses is dated as early as 4500 BC. Incontrovertible evidence of domestication comes from archaeological finds of human artifacts connected with horses: * depictions of horses used as mounts or draught animals * equipment such as bits or other types of horse tack * horse remains in archaeological context, particularly horses interred in human graves or showing other signs of ceremonial burial. Studies of morphological features of existing animals compared to those of fossil remains (frozen remains, other preserved remains, and sub-fossils) led to the hypothesis that horses were domesticated in one small area of the great steppes of Eurasia, perhaps around the mid 5th millennium. The earliest archaeological evidence of domestication are bone bits and horse remains in human graves found in the eneolithic (5th millennium) Samara culture at the middle Volga. Interestingly, this same culture is suggested to correspond to the Proto-Indo-Europeans in the Kurgan hypothesis. It remains for archaeology to find and excavate the sites that will tell us what happened. In historical times, the use of horses is nearly a diagnostic of Indo-European culture in the diaspora phase. It is certainly one if hardly the only way to account for the rapid spread of the Kurgan culture and the ease with which it seems to have gotten the upper hand over Pre-Indo-European cultures. For the most part, the forest-steppe region and the plains of Asia remain archaeologically unexplored, leaving room for future discoveries. The earliest incontrovertible evidence of horses used as trained animals are the chariot burials of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture, dating to around 2000 BC. The earliest evidence of horse domestication spreading outside regions that encompassed the wild horse's natural habitat is found in early depictions of horses as draught animals in the Ancient Near East, dating to ca. 1800 BC. These images showed harnessed horses controlled with nose rings, as was also the practice with the onagers (Equus hemionus) native to the Near East[1]; horses controlled in such a manner could draw chariots in processions, but not in battle. Widespread introduction of the horse to the Near East coincides with the turmoil of the Kassite period from ca. 1600 BC.[2] The first evidence of domesticated horses in China dates to the late Bronze Age Yin Dynasty, and evidence for introduction to the Indian Subcontinent (see History of the horse in South Asia) and Northern Europe (see Trundholm sun chariot) date to about the same period. While riding may have been practiced during the 4th and 3rd millennia BC, the first known impact by horses on ancient warfare was by pulling chariots, introduced circa 2000 BC. Horses in the Bronze Age were relatively small by modern standards, which led some theorists to believe the ancient horses were too small to be ridden and so must have been driven. Herodotus' description of the Sigynnae, a steppe people who bred horses too small to ride but extremely efficient at drawing chariots, illustrates this stage. The Iron Age saw the rise of mounted cavalry as a tool of war, as evidenced by the notable successes of mounted archer tactics used by various invading equestrian nomads such as the Parthians. Over time, the chariot gradually become obsolete. The horse of the Iron Age was still relatively small, perhaps 12.2 to 14.2 hands high or 1.27 to 1.47 meters, measured at the withers. This was shorter overall average height than modern riding horses, which range from 14.2 to 17.2 hh (1.47 to 1.8 meters). However, small horses were used successfully as light cavalry for many centuries. For example, Fell ponies, believed to be descended from Roman cavalry horses, are comfortably able to carry fully grown adults (although with rather limited ground clearance) at an average height of 13.2 hands (1.37 m). Likewise, the Arabian horse is noted for a short back and dense bone, and the successes of the Muslims against the heavy mounted knights of Europe demonstrated that a 14.2 hand horse can easily carry a full-grown human adult into battle. Mounted warriors such as the Scythians, Huns and Vandals of late Roman antiquity, the Mongols who invaded eastern Europe in the 7th century through 14th centuries AD, the Muslim warriors of the 8th through 14th centuries AD, and the American Indians in the 16th through 19th centuries each demonstrated effective forms of light cavalry.

Animals used for the testing of cosmetic products often live their lives locked in a cage. Some suffer invasive procedures while others are used to test for product toxicity. Often, they are anesthetized and given a paralyzing agent to make sure they don't move during testing.

It matters what kind of abuse you commit. There are different types of abuse. If it is really domestic, then close to life.

Yes and no.Yes because there are some people out there that are just cruel and crazy and love the fact that that animals get hurt. they post some videos on youtube and some pics up on images, then they just sit back laugh and enjoy the coments they get or the proces they do.No because some people love animals and wil do anything for them. they would adopt as much as they could and save them.

when you beat your pet or you just down right neglect them and dont care for their needs

Rhinos are endangered for several reasons. Here are the main ones:

Rhinos don't reproduce very fast. They have only one baby at a time

The places where Rhinos live is shrinking due to humans moving in.

The horns of rhinos are used in folk medicines by humans. Humans kill the rhino and take only the horns, leaving the dead animal behind. Then they powder the horn or scrape it, making shavings. The horn material is then added to food or drink as a medicine. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that rhino horn does any good at all as a medicine.

People also used to use rhino horns to make carvings. Artists would carve the hard horn material into cups or small sculptures and then sell them.

These practices were all done so much that now there aren't very many rhinos left at all, and protecting them is very important.

Fact File is a knowledge database or reference to various facts. There is an iPhone app called Fact File which allows the user to learn a new fact each day.

They cannot eat the leaves of the plant, but they can eat the flower (aka Bud) and the stems. Rabbits eat marijuana in the wild. I wouldn't feed rabbits marijuana as domestic rabbits are nothing like wild rabbits, they have evolved differently.

A priority is being sure the animal in question is being abused and the owner is violating local laws. What some would call abuse it might not be abuse by definition of your local laws on abused animals. Check the animal at different times of the day. If you see a lack of sufficient water, food, and proper shelter of the animal, it might just be ignorance on the owner's part. Your local police station or animal shelter are better experienced to assess the situation and take the appropriate action. If you see out right abuse like beating, kicking, choking or any other violent action against the animal try to document the abuse (video tape or take a picture) and contact your local police station or animal shelter right away. Ring or somehow tell the local authorities responsible for animal protection, such as the RSPCA or SPCA, depending one where one resides.

Peacocks often make loud cat-like noises when calling out to other males

the answer is a skunk.all animals know its stink is very unbearable and humans also know not to get between 10 feet of the skunk

the only animal stupid enough to go to a skunk is a dog. _________________________ If you are referring to the three animals you have listed I'd say foxes, because there are more of them than lions and pandas (those two are endangered). If you are asking overall I'd say a skunk is a good guess.

People should drop their guns down and say " I'm done hunting wolves , and I should leave them all alone!" People should think that wolves aren't going to be ferocious if they stop hunting them. They should leave them all alone and let them be free in the wild! Protective legislation would be great start.

might come from a pound, picked up as a stray, or stolen- sad to say

This is not really very true. The majority of animals are purpose-bred by laboraties for use in animal testing, or by specialist breeders. Some animals are still taken from the wild, although it is illegal to use wild-caught primates in Europe for animal testing.

Poaching can lead to the endangering and even extinction of animals. Also it can dissrupt the food chain. Yes, it is very bad.

Thousands of animals die each day because lots of people mistreat them and don't feed them properly. Some hop their fences, and lots of them are strays. Most of them starve, or can also get TICK FEVER which is really bad.

the year with the most animal abuse is every year,many people like to abuse animal in diffrent ways.Overbreeding and poching animal are some of our main parts of animal abuse.

I think it is around about 1000 or 100 animals being abused each month in the US

There are many

I do not support animal testing. Especially if the animals are being tested on for human products like makeup and shampoo and stuff. if its for the humans then theyshould get humans to agree to safe testing practices. If it is for animals then they should use safe and human practices on some animals. But if the product is made for humans then it should not be tested on animals because it could have a totally different effect on humans then it does animals from- an all around animal loving vegetarian

ANSWER:: Humans are responsible for 99% of all air pollution on the planet.

no because animals have feeling just like us and wants to live there like us if you arethe animal what would you feel? well you just want them to live now wright so if your with the scientist well change your mind let the inventors invent like some thing to use rather than animal like a root that can die ? no more experiment using animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for the help.
