In today’s times, animal abuse is a very pressing issue which is often disregarded. Cruelty towards animals involves killing, injuring, kicking, burning or shooting them intentionally. It also includes being negligent towards our pets.
Just like humans, animals too have feelings. If they have gone through or are going through any such kind of cruelty they get traumatized and fail to love and trust anyone again. This is the reason why many animals act out when they are adopted by a new family. Sometimes these families get fed up and abandon the animal once again.
All animals are living beings like us, yet we don’t seem to value their lives nearly as much as human lives. Many people harm and kill animals with minimal consequences which is extremely unfair to the animal being harmed and also to every living being living on this earth.
Animal abuse is something that should be stopped as soon as possible. So what do we do to contribute? If you ever see people harming animals in public do not take your phones out and film it but make sure you stop them from hurting the animal. If there are injured animals on the street make sure to give them first aid or if you are unaware of what to do, drop it off at the nearest hospital or call a helpline number.
Once these animals are provided with proper care, you could either adopt them yourself or drop them off at an animal shelter so that somebody else can adopt and take care of them. If you are considering getting a pet, try to adopt a pet instead of buying one as many animals in animal shelters are looking for a loving home.
We should not only learn to but also educate others to take care and treat animals in case of an emergency. We should keep in mind that animals are living creatures too who have feelings and are not made for our benefit. We should learn to respect all forms of life and live in harmony with other organisms as this planet does not exist solely for us and our existence.
