i would like to say people have taken time to sign petition to help stop animal abuse in this present time animal abuse is horrific and the government need to change the law. picture below is a puppy age 6month old had to be put to sleep due to being abused severly by a human no animal deserves this please help end all the evil. There are two types of cruelty inflicted on animals by humans. These include passive cruelty and active cruelty. Passive cruelty involves cases of neglect. Here it is generally lack of action to prevent pain and suffering of the animal. Starvation, dehydration, improper shelter, etc. are types of passive cruelty. Active cruelty are malicious acts where the abuser intentionally harms the animal. The animal is beaten, whipped, burned and even branded by the abuser. As you can see, many times it leads to death of the animal. An animal can be tortured in various ways that includes the following barbarous and brutal ways of the soulless abusers Hunting Poaching Shooting Animal fighting Torturing Beating Mutilation Throwing Burning Neglect Starvation Emaciation Poisoning Stabbing Kicking Dragging Hanging Running over with vehicle Animal sexual abuse/Bestiality Factory farming Rodeos Religious/Traditional sacrifice festivals that cause abuse, suffering and ultimate death Bear bile farming Fur/Leather/Feather/Angora/Silk/Wool etc industries We live in civilized societies where every one of us is aware of our basic human right. This basic human right is live and let live. We have no right to torture the weaker creatures who inhabit the planet earth. Animals too feel the pain and are injured by the torture melted out on them. They do not need your sympathies. They need you to act and stop this abuse. so dont stand by and watch any animal suffer. RIP LITTLE GUY.
