Pet-Abuse (Comission and Omission)



There are many different reasons why individuals mistreat animals. Animal Cruelty is in reality often divided in to two categories: Passive and  Active or in other words "Comission" and "Omission".

The Passive or Omission is no other than the neglect people have with animals: this embarks many action like starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations, allowing a collar to grow into an animal's skin, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when an animal needs medical attention.


The Active or Commission is no other than the act of hurting an animal deliberately and with intention. This action is actually known as NAI (Non-Accidental-Injury). 

Animals have the capacity of feeling of being abused physically and emotionally. It does not matter is the action taken are passive or active it is still taken as animal cruelty and it can be judged in a court of law.

"Dogs are not food, they are man's best friend"

   Last time I checked dogs were called man's best friend not man's best food. I am so ashamed to see how people have the guts of taking a cute, innocent animal and killing it for food even if this animal wasn't meant for "chow". I've been doing research and I came across a were shocking website that shows me the way people in places like Korea and the Philippines have dog slaughter houses. They even have in the market a place were people select there own dogs and the person in charge kills them and rips off the poor dogs' skins from head to tail leaving it without a pinch of skin. This is an outrage! I am so ashamed of those people that say that dogs are man's best friend and they are that animals friends too. I'm so mad because with their words thay say something but with their actions they show us another thing!!!

   If you say dogs are your best friends and you are their best friend, please say it from the heart and show them with the correct action, making an example for all those watching you!!

Dogs are man's best Friend!!!



Dogs are not..."Food"

   When I see my dogs I see my friends not my dinner. I love my dogs and I would never do such thing to them. It's incredible the way people can do this to animals that are not meant for food. I mean something to my dogs and my dogs mean something to me. For me they represent my family and my friends. Some people don't stop to think that in moments of sadness and difficulties they are the ones that sometimes you can talk to even though they can't talk back, and they also can't judge you and thats why they are called man's best friend.'This is my opinion. What do you think?

Different species on Extiction Alert!

Tigers:
    Tigers are categorized as Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN Red List of Threatened Species) and listed under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) prohibiting international commercial trade.
There are more Tiger farms breeding captive tigers for trade than tigers in the wild. Tigers a bred for their body parts, fur and even bones. Both captive and wild caught tigers fall under the same regulations, but haven't been effective on stopping the illegal farms and trade.



Puertorican Parrot
   The dramatic reduction in the number of parrots is mainly due to deforestation for agriculture, which removed large areas of mature forest. In 1940 the only Puerto Rican parrot population was in the Sierra de Luquillo, popularly known as "El Yunque", which is a rainforest on the east side of Puerto Rico. Among the causes of the dramatic reduction include habitat destruction, poaching and competition for cavities with species like the brown thrasher. Natural disasters also have a big impact on the already unstable population.

Sperm whales
The number of sperm whales throughout the world is unknown, but is thought to be in the hundreds of thousands. The conservation outlook is brighter than for many other whales. Historically, Japan has taken ten sperm whales a year, and until 2006 tens of these whales were hunted off Indonesia. They are protected practically worldwide, and commercial whaling has ceased. Fishermen do not target the creatures that sperm whales eat. However, long line fishing operations in the Gulf of Alaska have complained about sperm whales stealing fish from their lines.
Entanglement in fishing nets and collisions with ships represent the greatest threats to the sperm whale population currently. Other current threats include ingestion of marine debris, ocean noise, and chemical pollution. The IUCN regards the sperm whale as being "vulnerable". The U.S. lists them as endangered.

Cruelty to seals...Not right

Acording to the law  in Locations like Canada, Norway,Greenland, Nabimia and Russia its legal to kill seals . Why is that you might ask? well acording to reaserch when these beautyful creatures are in there younger stage they tend to have a better and more atractive coat in wich this is a high opportunity for a business on wich the ones that hunt this poor animal sell the coat for a reasonable price.  This is not the only reason why this animal are been killed.
In Canada its been ordered by law to kill seals because of the lack of cod fish. They say that every year the population of seals increases but the cod fish decreases by the minute. We under stand that this is a serious situation for fishermen beacuse with out the cod fish the can't sell but why kill isn't there any other way to settle this. No! not for them this people have made a team of hunters to kill at least 250.000 seals a year its increadable and its an abomonation.
 We need to stop killing these animal is not there fault, they need cod fish to survive because is what they eat its in there nature. They haven't harmed us why should we arm them. Is this in our nature? I don't think so instead of killing them we should be finding a way to take them some place were they can eat all the cod fish they can have and were they can be free from all the torture that humans have brought to the lives..
For these people this is actually a sport, this is not a sport!. A sport is supose to be fun and entertaining what is entertaining about killing inocent animals like them. We are acting like savages we should be finding a way to save them not to kill them.
Remember they need our help...Your silence make you guilty as well




Hakapik "Tool of death"

     The Hakapik is a Norwegian design club used for killing seals. This design is actually a long wooden stick with a hammer head used to crush a seal’s head and knock it unconscious and killing it. They say that using this tool is a good way to kill a seal because it does not damage in anyway the pelt (fur). 
    Unbelievable!  These people don't have a heart. When I see this I ask myself how we would feel if instead of them it was us!!! Let's create awareness.  This is extremely wrong and people who do this should be punished!
