On Sunday, my brother and I were getting ready for the day. We went to go walk our dogs like we usually do when we found a puppy; it was a German Shepherd that we thought was abused because he was very skinny and afraid of us at first. We took him to this animal shelter so he could get a new home and the treatment that he needed. They examined him and it turned out he was abused.
According to dosomething.org, abused or stray animals animals that aren’t euthanized are often sent to no-kill shelters where the animals are caged for days or weeks, which can result in animals becoming insane.
According to a worker at an animal care center in San Jose, animals who have experienced abuse usually have anxiety and experience difficulty trusting people.
A common type of animal abuse and cruelty is dog fighting, which is the second worse type of animal abuse in the United States, according to ASPCA.org. Pitbulls are usually targeted in dog fighting due to their type of breed; they are considered to be aggressive, but in my opinion they aren’t because I think they are the nicest dog there is.
Livestock animals are the third most abused animals. Livestock animals, such as cows, chickens, and pigs, provide us with food and milk that we depend on for survival. These animals are used simply for food and resources, and then they’re killed. They usually spend their entire lives in a cage or confined space, being abused for their entire lives.
Many animals get abused everyday or possibly killed. We won’t be able to help some but we can help dogs and cats by donating to www.aspca.org. By donating, we can help the pitbulls and other big dogs from getting put to sleep.
