There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher animals in their mental faculties... The lower animals, like man, manifestly feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery.
-Charles Darwin (biologist)
The Following Photos are very Graphic.
FUR: Animals every day are killed for their fur, so that people like J.Lo, Madonna, Mary J. Blige etc. can look "fashionable & Rich". There is no need for us to slaughter animals for fur, it is not a necessity, we do not need it. If you look at how animals, such as the Fox, Seal, Dog, Cat, Raccoon Dog, Mink, etc are killed you would feel alot different about wearing fur. Alot of the time these animals are still conscience and alive while being skinned. Imagine the pain. The suffering. The complete helplessness. These animals cannot fend off these heartless murderers, they can do nothing but wait and watch for their turn. It's ridiculous. And for what? Fashion? Glamour? The feeling of being rich? People who wear fur are just as guilty as the people killing for fur.
Animal Fighting: People who use animals to fight for profit are low-lifes. There is never a winner of these fights except the owner. It is extremely horrible how these animals are treated. 9 times out of 10 the owners will just abandon his "pet" after it is too old to fight or has lost a fight. The animal is considered not worth the food cost or any type of care. They are starved, beaten, even killed just because they won't give their owner any profit. Inside the ring is a brutal killing ground, the animals are trained to "KILL" the other. They fight till they have no fight left and sometimes the so-called "winner" even dies due to wounds. Why fight animals? Is it really that amusing to watch your "best-friend" die or get completely brutalized? If so, You're sick.
Chained Animals: Animals who are chained lead very lonely lives. Being unable to run and play, and hardly ever getting shown attention by it's owners, also most times the animals has poor or No shelter at all and no veterinary care. The animals who are chained/tethered are also prone to cruel acts of children/teenager, etc. who have no discipline, Occasionally throwing rocks, kicking, teasing the animal, setting it on fire and often stealing the animal to use as a bait for fighting dogs. During the winter and summer months the animal is prone to dying either by freezing to death or heat exhaustion. These animals have little to no care from their inconsiderate owners. When tethered the dog can become vicious for lack of social surroundings as well. Think twice before chaining an animal.
Testing: Animals used for testing live their life in pain and loneliness. They are tested upon for no reason. These tests do not prove if products are safe for people. Some of the most toxic items for humans were found to be safe, by being tested on animals. Would you swallow arsenic? Hell they say its safe right? Same goes for household cleaning products, almost all are toxic to humans if ingested or inbhaled for a long period of time, but according to animal tests, they are completely safe. Hmmm... so why continue with the suffering of animals if all your experiments are coming out wrong? It's unbelieveable. Animals are poked, prodded, ripped open, sliced, given illnesses, etc. with little to no care afterwards. Stop supporting these testers by buying Animal test free products.
Entertainment Animals: Animals suffer from stress, loneliness, abuse and ridicule in the entertainment business. Animals are not supposed to perform for peoples sakes. Circuses abuse their animals by poking them, Jabbing them and using electric prods, in order to FORCE them to perform stupid acts. Rodeos are horrible, their treatment of calves and bulls is horrific. Calf roping and tripping causes internal bleeding, often times broken bones, and the calf is terrified. Imagine being a child and having people chase you and pummel you to the ground. While waiting to be let out of the holding cage, the calves are also poked repeatedly with electric prods and their ears, tails etc get twisted and pulled on, which is why the calf jolts out of the holding cage. But in order for these "cowboys" to be efficient with roping it takes practice.. practice in which many calves die or get seriously injured. Now steers for steer tripping weigh at least 700 pounds and they get thri necks turned at least 180 degrees when the rider ropes the horns. More entertainment purposes include Racing, bullfighting, kangaroo boxing, bear boxing, etc.
