Animal Rights

Throughout the years there has been a debate about animal rights, this is a activity that allow to protect all type of animals from being exploited and abused by humans, also includes the use of animals for anything that causes them pain and suffering like to make food, clothing, and do experimentation in laboratories; They are living creatures who deserve rights and these rights should be respected to stop the suffering.

Everyday in our country animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival, left in unsanitary conditions with no food or water; in one hand Animals are not just food, and people do not realize that farmers kill each day more than 16 billion animals such as as cows, pigs, fishes, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. all of them used for food purposes; These animals as seen in photos, social networks, videos are often killed in a cruel way, for my opinion they should be left alone, let them die naturally because meat is not the only protein source that we have to feed our families. In another hand if people start to eat vegetables it would exist less heart disease, diabetes, obesity ( which is a major cause of death in the United states), because these types of food has all the proteins , vitamins that the human body needs to live and according to scientists vegetarian people live 10 years longer than meat-eaters do.

The fashion industry is one of the largest in Latin America and other continents around the world, the problem is that many of these companies use animal skins as clothing for their consumers but they do not realize the damage causing to many animals. Today about 10 million animals like wolves, sheep, cows, foxes, among others are caught and killed for their fur. China is one of the main countries that export products like these around different cities, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and sometimes even decapitated alive for their fur. People who kill animals without mercy should go to jail or be killed because they do not deserve any respect from anyone for taking a life that only God can decide campaigns laws exist to solve this crime but not enough because unfortunately still there are unscrupulous people who continue to find ways in order to traffic these skins.

Each year in the United States an estimated 70 million animals are injured and killed in the name of science, people use these animals to study the causes and effects of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. I think animal testing certainly is giving us information, but is not worth all the pain that animals are going thru , many published studies show that some animal species are disappearing as chimpanzees, but my point is that the body of each animal has a different process of the human body, then what's the point of spend an animal life if one day they will have to experience in a human body, this means that take away a animal life is not necessary. People often wonder why these animals are violent, the response is because many of them live in fear of what will happen the next day, live or die, what will be the result of these experiments; Right now around the world there must be rats, mice, cats, others in laboratories, sad, without knowing that what will happen the next day, maybe people think that animals have no intelligence, no feelings but they really have also they feel and care, many humans abuse them because they have the choice to say yes or no, but today there laws for that people but many are still fighting because we expect that someday all of this will end and those people reflect on the damage they are making to mother nature.

Animal Rights had impact the world in many ways but one of them and I think is the most important, is how many people feed around many countries; today there are people who are called vegetarians, they are people who not support eating meat so they eat vegetables like broccoli, tomato, lettuce, etc . All this is due to wealth, education, cultural heritage and religious beliefs that people are reconsidering, the interest in animals rights continues to grow every day more and more, many organizations, media, social websites, agencies have helped and continue to help the animals to be respected and for stop this abuse.


Though the information in the above paragraphs, Animal rights that been a very controversial case through and many countries, especially in China, Australia, among others, that are the countries that transport animal skins. Nowadays this problem has stopped but not completely, currently there are many people trying to help but is not enough because there are still evil people who do not realize the harm to Mother Nature and the suffering of animals for no reason.

“I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how they dependent on us, we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty.”
