    FOR ENTERTAINMENT
    • Animals are used for entertainment worldwide. This includes, Zoos,
    Circuses, Racing, etc.
    • Most entertainment with the use of animals usually brings in
    commercial gain.
    • Animals are usually trained in the process with brutal beatings, and
    when not used for entertainment are confined into small cages.
    IGNORANCE (self-pleasure)
    • Many times, Ignorance
    of a human towards an
    animal is the main
    reason why abuse
    occurs.

    defenseless animals to
    feel superior.

    HOW does happen animal


    abuse happen?
    HOW? Overbreeding.
    • Animal abuse occurs when
    animals are allowed to
    continuously breed.
    • Breeding can get out of control if
    animals are not properly taken
    care of by being neutered or
    spayed.
    • There are not enough families to
    take in new litters each time,
    eventually animals become
    neglected, abandoned, or killed
    due to over-production.
    HOW? Animal Testing
    • Animals are used to test cosmetics, household cleaners, and etc.
    hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed
    every year by cruel corporations. (ASPCA)
    • Animals are used daily for research that is supposed to help
    humans medically however, there are few similarities biologically
    between humans and animals
    • Many of these animals are kept in poor condition prior and after
    testing which ultimately leads to death.
    HOW? Neglect.
    • Millions of animals are neglected daily that the exact
    number is so hard to find due to the fact that many
    abuse cases go unheard of.
    • According to the Humane Society of the United States,
    Animal neglect is the failure to provide basic care
    required for an animal to thrive.
    Ties to Society
    • Research shows strong correlation between
    animal abuse, child abuse, and domestic
    violence.
    • 75% of violent offenders have early records of
    animal cruelty.
    • Animal abuse is a warning sign for a bigger
    problem.
