Animal abuse exists, even if we choose to look away

A Chinese man is being investigated for running a 'veterinary' clinic on the street that cut the vocal cords of 'noisy' dogs for a fee. Speaking about such cases of animal abuse around the world, Emergency Response Coordinator, PETA India, Meet Ashar said that they are often precursors to something more ghastly. Dr. Kallahalli Umesh; Waltham Scientific Communication Manager, South Asia Mars India says that bestiality or the practice of sex between humans and animals does exist, even if we often decide to turn our heads away from it. Every time someone buys a ‘foreign’ purebred puppy or kitten from a breeder or pet shop, an animal in need loses his or her chance at finding a loving home.” Even Kallahalli Umesh is of the same opinion, adding that adopting a pet is a good idea as not only does pet-keeping benefit the owner in many ways but there is a growing body of work to suggest it is a key builder of ‘social capital’ within a community. “I think the rise in animal cruelty is not really a rise but rather social media interaction with activists, bringing the plight of farmed animals to a higher level of awareness.” The only thing that can save hapless creatures, feel all three are a rise in awareness to the plight of animals that will help create a more compassionate and kinder future for all beings on the planet.
