...Alexcis Lenzi Mrs. Ford English 5-6 28 January 2015 Animal Abuse Before the 1990 only six states had felony provisions in their animal cruelty laws; now 46 do. I picked this topic because it is something that is really important to me. The way animals are treated on a daily basis is wrong on so many levels. Ever since I was a little girl I have cared about the welfare of animals around the world and reasons why these things happens to these creatures. Animal’s lives are incorporated into our lives; we need them for so many reasons. Yet we cease to understand the concept of working together with nature. “Animal cruelty has long been recognized as a signature pathology of the most serious violent offenders” (Sibbert 1). This topic is important...

...Did you know that according to the Delaware Action For Animals, more than 40 million animals are killed each year for fun? That means that animal families, babies, and kids are killed each year. This is called animal abuse. To me this is wrong and animals deserve a life just like other people. Pretend you are in a jungle and you are with your family. It is peaceful. A guy pops out and starts trying to kill your family. Your whole family starts dying and then you get shot. Most people would be scared, sad, and worried. This is probably what animals feel like when they are being hunted. One reason why people abuse animals is to hunt for fun and to make money or decorations. For example, people cut off chimps hands and sell them for souvenirs. Imagine people killed you, sold your hands for money, and people bought them for souvenirs. When people go hunting after they also skin the animals or stuff them so they can have decorations on their wall. Many people do this so people think that they are cool. According to peta.org 40 percent of hunters slaughter millions of animals on public land every year. Hunters who make decorations out of dead animals are terribly cruel because they are taking away lives from innocent animals. Cutting off animal heads to hang on the wall is very weird and strange....
