Circuses also mistreat animals through training methods involving intimidation and abuse. Laboratory animals experience loneliness, pain, and fear during testing. Factory farming confines animals in cramped and barren conditions against their natural behaviors.

    What is animal cruelty?



     Animal cruelty is a big problem around the world. People each day
    abuse of an animal in physical and emotional ways.
    Types of Abuse

     Top 5 Types of Abuse
     32% neglect or abandonment
     12% hoarding
     11% shooting
     9% fighting
    Dog fighting has become a
     7% beating big issue over the past years.

     Approximately 10, 000 animals are abandoned each year according to
    research. The total number of abandoned animals is rising each year like
    for example from 2007 to 2008, the number rose by 57%, which is an
    alarming rate.

     Nearly 250,000 animals are victims of animal hoarding each year.

     Hunting is often called a sport as a way to pass off a cruel, needless
    killing spree as a socially acceptable, wholesome activity. Less than 5
    percent of the U.S. population (13.7 million people) hunts, yet hunting is
    permitted in many wildlife refuges, national forests, and state parks and
    on other public lands.(40 Almost 40 percent of hunters slaughter and
    maim millions of animals on public land every year, and by some
    estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally.(5,6)

     The dogs who are most commonly bred for fighting are generally
    known as “pit bulls”: Staffordshire terriers, American Staffordshire
    terriers, American bulldogs, and American pit bull terriers. Dogs who
    are used for fighting are usually kept penned or chained (often with
    heavy logging chains), and many are taunted and starved in order to
    trigger extreme survival instincts and encourage aggression.

     Some dogfighters train dogs by forcing them to tread water in pools;
    run on a treadmill while a caged rabbit, cat, chicken, or other terrified
    animal is dangled in front of them; or hang on with their jaws while
    dangling from a chain baited with meat. Many dogs are injected with
    steroids, and some dogfighters even sharpen their dogs’ teeth, cut off
    their ears (to prevent another dog from latching on), and add roach
    poison to their food so that their fur might taste bad to other dogs


     Animal abusers have no heart when it comes to beating animals. Many
    people use tools, or even things that are on the site.

     THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT DO ANIMAL
    CRUELTY BUT YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW.
     THEY DO IT FOR YOUR ENTERTAIMENT, OR EVEN FOR YOUR
    FOOD OR EVEN FOR YOU TO LOOK GOOD.

     Whenever you are at the circus you might think that is fun to see all the
    animals.
     But do you really know what they do to those animals in order to
    entertain you?

     http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/infographic.asp

     In recent years, several former employees of Ringling Brothers Barnum
    and Bailey Circus have been shedding light on the way elephants are
    mistreated under the Big Top – the animals are "broken," "trained," and
    "disciplined" with sharp metal bull hooks, and kept on chains for most
    of their lives. Other members of the public have captured the
    mistreatment on videotape, as the circus arrives in their cities and
    towns.

    Look at how small that train
    space is. The elephants do not
    have enough space to lay or
    anything. They only stand until
    they get to the next show.

     In many circuses, animals are trained through the use of intimidation
    and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing
    animals beaten, whipped and denied food and water, all to force them
    to learn their routines. Animals are taught that not obeying the trainer
    will result in physical abuse. In the United States, no government
    agency monitors animal training sessions.

     Traveling from town to town is also inherently stressful for circus
    animals—they are separated from their social groups and intensively
    confined or chained for extended periods of time with no access to food,
    water, and veterinary care. It’s no surprise that many animals suffer
    psychological effects. Swaying back and forth, head-bobbing and pacing
    are just some of the stereotypical behaviors associated with mental
    distress displayed by animals in the circus.


     Right now, millions of mice, rats, rabbits, primates, cats, dogs, and other
    animals are locked inside cold, barren cages in laboratories across the
    country. They languish in pain, ache with loneliness, and long to roam
    free and use their minds.

     Instead, all they can do is sit and wait in fear of the next terrifying and
    painful procedure that will be performed on them. The stress, sterility
    and boredom causes some animals to develop neurotic behaviors such
    incessantly spinning in circles, rocking back and forth and even pulling
    out their own hair and biting their own skin. They shake and cower in
    fear whenever someone walks past their cages and their blood pressure
    spikes drastically. After enduring lives of pain, loneliness and terror,
    almost all of them will be killed.
    Some Companies That Test On
    Animals




     On today’s factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into
    filthy, windowless sheds and confined to wire cages, gestation crates,
    barren dirt lots, and other cruel confinement systems. These animals
    will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do
    anything that is natural and important to them. Most won’t even feel
    the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until the day they are loaded
    onto trucks bound for slaughter. The green pastures and idyllic
    barnyard scenes of years past are now distant memories.

     The factory farming industry strives to maximize output while
    minimizing costs—always at the animals’ expense. The giant
    corporations that run most factory farms have found that they can make
    more money by cramming animals into tiny spaces, even though many
    of the animals get sick and some die. The industry journal National Hog
    Farmer explains, “Crowding pigs pays,” and egg-industry expert
    Bernard Rollins writes that “chickens are cheap; cages are expensive.”


     If you want to help you can become a vegetarian, you can use products
    from companies that do not test on animals.
    You can also boycott the circus
    and animal abuse

    What other people are doing to
    help

     Many People go to slaughterhouses and boycott they even wear
    costumes.

    Join animal rights organizations

    (don’t forget to go vegan and use products that do not test on
    animals thanks)
