i realise now that some people can be ignorant to seeing how bad animal cruelty is all round the world now i know with the worlds population it should be easy to get people to sign a petition as there is so many people who hate animal cruelty well if this is true take two minutes out your day and sign this one. There are two kinds of animal cruelty inherent across the spectrum of animal abuse. ACTIVE CRUELTY, which is cruelty inflicted (with deliberate intent to harm an animal creating immediate pain and suffering), and PASSIVE CRUELTY (harm inflicted via willful neglect creating prolonged suffering). One or both types are inherent cruelty to companion animals, animals used for research, industrial factory farmed animal cruelty, animals used for sport and ritual, hoarding, animals killed for their fur, skins and body parts and mass market puppy mill production. Regardless of the arguments that it may be the "custom" to ritually slaughter an animal for its fur or skin, or eat the animals we call our companions, cruelty is cruelty and cannot be disguised. All animals killed in these practices are "SENTIENT." They feel excruciating pain, fear and terror. its heartbreaking and only we cant help end it all
