Types of Abuse (part 2)

Hey again! This post will be continuing last week’s post. Quick recap in case you forgot, last week I talked about the most common types of abuse on animals which included physical and testing. This post will be about certain actions against animals that are often not seen as abuse but I will try to explain in the best way possible why I think they are considered abuse.

The first would be neglect. To me this is abuse because owners leave their animals either tied up for long periods of time or they leave them behind. I’ll use a dog as an example if a puppy is raised being fed and cared for by a human it’s whole life then is all of the sudden left behind when the owners move away, the dog won’t know how to get food other than from people like it always has. When the dogs are left to fend for themselves they will most likely end up starving and afraid of human because of the neglect.

Being tied up for long periods of time outside whether they’re tied up in the summer or winter they have a permanent “coat” on so in the summer they can over heat and get dehydrated or in the winter they don’t have the proper protection against the weather but not only that but they’re paws can start to crack, causing severe pain and possibly infection.  Honestly I will never understand why anyone would do such a thing to an animal that doesn’t know anything more than simply loving unconditionally, because if I let one of my dogs outside then go do something else and I hear them at the door I drop what I’m doing even if they just got to the door.  

The second would be poaching, and I’m not talking about hunting to survive I’m talking about killing and selling only certain parts of the animal while wasting the rest. Elephants are the most commonly talked about in the sense of being poached to near extinction. In case you haven’t heard much about it elephants are poached for their ivory tusks, the tusks have very high value to humans but are a defense mechanism to elephants. What do I think? I really hope people stop killing such beautiful animals just because they make good money off of the hunt.

I could go on and on about how much I hate what some people do to animals but I’m not sure that it would be interesting enough to read about. I might talk more about poaching in a different post but for now I’ll try to post something a little less upsetting. I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a good night or good day whenever you’re seeing this. Bye!
