ANIMAL ABUSE

-GLOBAL ISSUE: Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is the infliction of suffering or harm upon non-human animals, for purposes other than self-defense. More narrowly, it can be harm for specific gain, such as killing animals for food or for their fur, although opinions differ with respect to the method of slaughter. It usually encompasses inflicting harm for personal amusement or to fulfill zoo sadistic impulses. Diverging viewpoints are held by jurisdictions throughout the world.(Wikipedia) -ARGUMENT AGAINST: Animals can feel pain, but do not have the same capabilities as humans have to fend off his attackers. -OPINION: I am against animal abuse in my opinion because the animals can feel pain should have some rights that humans have as serious, the right to a life without suffering, without being abused because in most of the cases have no such defense. -LINK VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NGathLjlc0&feature=related
