Animal Cruelty is happening all around the world, probably somewhere while you're reading this. Sometimes, animals can get caught in traps, meant for hunting other animals, which we shouldn't do in the first place, and, being caught in the trap, die of hunger, or predators. Dogs used for fighting, some people think that animals fighting to death is fun, are chained, taunted and starved to become aggressive, and those who lose, are often tortured, set on fire, electrocuted, drowned, abandoned, and many other cruel ways. Piglets are separated from their mothers when they are barely even 10 days old. Imagine yourself, with your mother, and then someone comes and takes you away, never to be with your mother again. Would you like that? Well, neither do the pigs, so why should they have to suffer? Chickens can live for over 10 years, but because they are forced to lay eggs all the time, they die around the age of 2. Every year, millions of animals are killed for clothes for us. More than 100 million animals every year suffer and die in cruel chemicals, food and cosmetics tests, biology lessons, and drugs. All of these animals suffer, for our entertainment, but this isn't funny. Each year, about 10,000 bulls die in bull fights. Baby goats are burned alive for gloves. Are gloves really that important, important enough that it doesn't matter for a baby goat to die? Many and most hens raised for eggs in the US are put in such small spaces that they can't even move a wing. Scientists estimate that about 100 species go extinct every day, that's about 1 species every 15 minutes. More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used for research, every year. Just for fur, animals spend their entire lives cramped in dirty wire cages. That cute elephant you saw at the circus? Most elephants are chained up 23 hours a day since they were babies. A typical slaughterhouse kills almost 1,000 hogs per hour. More than half the fur in US comes from China, where millions of cats and dogs are cruelly killed. 18 red foxed are killed to make 1 fox-fur coat, and 55 minks to make a mink coat. Fur coats are cool- for animals, not humans to wear.
