ANIMAL CRUELTY/WELFARE AND RIGHTS

Introduction:
The group Philippine Animal Welfare Society or PAWS is pushing for a law against
animal cruelty, while some Celebrities support their campaign. The PAWS has asked
the Senate to impose heavy penalties on those who mistreat animals because the
Animal Welfare Act, which carries a fine of only six months and two years in prison
or a fine of one thousand - or up to five thousand pesos, is not enough. their
request to the senate for six years and one day and twelve years imprisonment and
at least one hundred thousand fines to be imposed.
Purpose:
We human beings in this world are blind to the cruelty of animals but we just
neglect it. Be it by indifference or law. Animal cruelty can take many different
forms, but the effect is always the same. A sensible animal capable of loving and
creating social relationships experiences pain, fear, and desperation. And it needs
to stop.
Description:
In most cases, animal cruelty doesn’t feel like an immoral act to the person who
commits it. He or she can justify the behavior in ways. Let’s look at a few of the
most common justifications. When we view animals the same way, animal cruelty
results. The animal has no more significance than a tool or device. People who
mistreat animals can separate themselves from the beings they hurt, so they don’t
feel as though they’re doing anything wrong.
Support:
Report animal cruelty, abuse or neglect. If you witness any form of animal cruelty,
report it to the police or other authorities. Act immediately to prevent further
cruelty. Demand stricter laws for the protection of animals. Stronger animal
welfare laws and harsher penalties will lead to fewer cruelty cases. Teach your
children to have respect for animals. Set a good example by being respectful
towards animals. Show children how to treat animals with love and consideration.
Help them to grow up to become the next generation of advocates for animals.
