This might take a while to read, but please read it.
We believe that animal abuse is completely wrong. Some animals can be aggressive, and it puts people in danger, but that doesn't mean we should abuse them. Other animals, mainly ones in pounds, are put down because the shelters and pounds don't have enough space to keep them. We know it is not animal abuse, but they are killing the animals for no reason at all. Recently, we discovered a story on Yahoo! News, about a cat named Andrea, who survived two gas chambers.
"The pound put Andrea in a gas chamber and when it was time to take her out, they found that she was still alive, so they gassed her again. Shelter officials detected no vital signs and presumed she was dead, placing her in a cooler. A later check, however, found that Andrea had vomited on herself and had hypothermia, but was still alive. Shelter officials said they then decided to stop trying to kill Andrea. Andrea has since then been adopted and shelter officials are investigating why the gassing failed."
I (Lydia) used to watch a show called "Animal Cops Miami" and in one episode, a dog was hanging in his owner's backyard. That made us realize just how cruel some people can really be. Also, there was a dog, on that same show, that was so skinny that we could see his ribs! The poor thing, he looked like he'd been starved for a whole year! I was reading a book, and it said that animals go to heaven, so I thought that if they go to heaven, they must have souls. We wouldn't want to be hurt or abused by someone who was our owner, if we were a pet. Sometimes, there are news reports about animals with only one eye, and other times they are crammed into a very tiny cage. Think about it: Too many people are standing so close to you that you can't even move. You don't even know them! Our point is, animals hate being abused. PLEASE stop gassing animals.
I (Taylor) think that animal abuse is absurd, pointless, and futile. If an animal does something bad, animal abuse is not the answer. In fact, animal abuse isn't the answer for anything!! People have NO RIGHT to hurt an animal because they feel like it. Or because owners feel depressed. Cry with your best friend, they are not to be beaten out of anger, especially if it isn't their fault. I don't see how hurting an animal will make the owner feel better. It only should make the owner feel guiltier. Then, the owner just gets the pet taken away from the person who beat the dog. See, the thing is, animals can't speak for themselves. They can't say how they feel or why they did something wrong. They need to be treated with respect. When I was looking up pictures for this website, I came across some very sad (and even disturbing) photos of abused dogs, cats, horses, etc, etc. People don't think twice about how animals feel. Think about if you were the animal, would you want someone do that to you?? Didn't think so. PLEASE, SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT!!!!!!!!!!
