Hi I’m Natalie Bietola and I chose to write my blog about the
ripple effect that animal abuse has society. My posts won’t be limited to the
rescue process, organizations that help and the laws put in place to protect
the animals but will also include examples of different types of abuse, without
being too graphic.
Laws are put in place to protect animals so when people
don’t follow those laws it makes it hard for jury to give them fair
consequences because the severity isn’t always the same and the animals
sometimes don’t get justice, I’ll go into more detail about that in another
post. The laws also fluctuate in the sense of how many there are and how strict
the government is on enforcing those laws.
There are so many types of animal abuse that some people
don’t even see them as abuse, whether it be part of their culture, upbringing
or they are so used to it being done its “normal” to them. I plan on talking
about different types of abuse but without all the graphic detail that can sometimes
make people uncomfortable.
The effects of abuse vary depending on the severity of the
abuse and of course it’s not only physical but mentally as well. I will explore
the effects it has on the animals and how it affects their view on humans, I will
also link stories of animals that are “on the road to recovery”.
Throughout my blog I will also share my personal opinions,
stories and experiences with pets that were formerly abused. I did not choose
this subject to simply share sad stories, I chose this subject to help you
understand that just because your past may be a little broken it does not mean
that you’re not worthy of happiness and love. After all we better learn to get
along because we’ll be sharing this earth for a long time…
Hi Natalie! I've never really looked into animal abuse but your blog will surely help me learn a bit more about this subject! Will you be covering the story of Justice, the dog in Windsor who had electrical tape wrapped around his mouth? I look forward to reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Camelia! Thank you for reading my blog, I hope to help you understand and be more informed on this subject. I do plan on adding elements from Justice’s story in one of my upcoming blogs! I hope you come back to read the post that it will be included in.
DeleteNatalie! After reading your introduction post, I'm really interested in how you will express your opinion about anti-animal abuse in your next posts. Since animal abuse is a huge issue in the world that affects a lot of people whether they're a pet owner or not because most pet owners consider their pets as family. I have a couple questions concerning your future blog posts that could maybe inspire you in someway for your next posts. Do you think that the abusers should be punished in anyway? What could be the cause of the abuse? I look forward to reading your posts to come!
ReplyDeleteHi Ricky! As I briefly mentioned in my introduction I will be talking about the laws, which includes the punishments of the abusers. I will be including examples of cases where the abusers differently because of the laws in that part of the world. I really hope I answered your question and I hope you continue reading my blog!
DeleteI like your blog Natalie! I don't know why but I somehow feel that the theme you've chosen really suits your personality, I don"t know how. But anyways, Knowing you, I know you're really passionate about animals and everything related to them and I am really looking forward to reading your posts to come because I'm sure they'll contain interesting information and stories. I'm really curious to know exactly what it is people are doing to fight against animal abuse.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Natalie as the french would say. I have read your post and look forward to following the rest I have a few opinions of my own and would love to see the view someone else has on the matter. Thank you for the read I am excited for more.
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie! I am already so impressed with your blog and this is only your first post! Im very much looking forward to seeing your take on this situation because I can already tell you have a real passion for protecting animals. I'm simply wondering if you will be mainly stating facts in this blogs or also adding your personal opinion and experiences?
ReplyDeleteHi Allison! Thank you so much for reading my blog, in my other posts I will be adding my very own opinions and stories that I’ve heard throughout the years. I’m glad you enjoyed my very first post as I was quite eager to post it and hear others opinions. Once again thank you so much for your kind words and I hope you keep reading.
DeleteHey Bietola, I just wanted to know why are you so passionate about these animals and have you had any animals in your life? If so what kind of animal is it and have then been abused before you got them or even worse while you had them (like a dog or cat).
ReplyDeleteHi Rifaat! Thank you for reading my first post. Yes I’ve had animals my whole life and I struggle to understand how anyone could abuse an animal... My dogs were not and are not abused animals but family friends have a dog that was abused and it was obvious the first time I saw that dog that the abuse really affected his trust in humans. Thank you again for reading and I hope I answered your questions.
DeleteHey Natalie Bietola!! I'm super intrigued on your blog and how you intend on giving your opinion and knowledge on animal abuse I feel strongly that this is a super important topic and agree with everything you have said in this introduction. Looking forward to your next blog post as well as all the rest to come!!
ReplyDeleteHey Natalie, I really like your topic and I know that you love animals, so this is a great choice of topic for you! My question to you is when you mentioned that you will share your experience with animals that were formerly abused, were they your pets? And what was your reaction to that?
ReplyDeleteHi Mirna! In the post when I said that I would add personal experience I was referring to the times that I’ve met previously abused pets and how they reacted to me or the people I was with. My pets were never abused and it defiantly breaks my heart to see animals terrified of people because of previous abuse but it is also completely understandable. I hope I answered your question!
DeleteI really really like your topic and I also really like how you choose a subject that is important to you because i know how much you love animals! I would love to read about true stories of animal abuse case and how the animals overcame the situation and now have a great life with good owners. I look forward to reading your nexts posts
ReplyDeleteHey Natalie, I read your first post and I'm really interested in your subject. As an owner of two cats as well as two dogs, animals are a very important part of my life and just the idea of abusing them or hurting them just repulses me. So I think it's good that you are talking about a subject like this.
