Animal Should Not be Eaten

Animals should not be killed to be eaten or made products out of.Animals do not deserve

to be mistreated in factories just for people's desire to eat them or made products out of them. As

the article Why you Shouldn't eat Meat everyone has a favorite animal for the most part, some

people might not like animals at all.Like if its not okay for you to eat your pet dog why is it okay

for people to eat animals such as cows,sheep,pigs etc.They also sayIt's hard to give up

something you've been eating your whole life, but if you take baby steps to your final conclusion

becoming a vegetarian it will make a huge difference.Although many people dont even consider

ever becoming a vegeterian becausethey say they can not go without eating meat.

And that is very true because if people would stop eating animals they would not have to

be over 56 billion farmed animals killed every year for humans.And aside of the the article Pet

StatisticsApproximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every

year

and those are only the normal pets such as dogs and cats.In addition the article Animal

EqualityThat by adopting a vegan diet that we can personally save up to 95 animals a year, and

thousand during our lifetime.Another option is becoming at least a vegetarian which is not as

hard because you can have some products from animals.Being a vegetarian improves your diet

because of you more strict of what you consume.

Even though people all people are not going to stop eating and mistreating animals

because they think it's okay and say that ,that's what animals are for like people that hunt for

fun.Like the artical Animal Cruelty Must Stoptalks about daily in the United States animals are

beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in unsanitary conditions with no food or

water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the compassion they deserve.

Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be;

others aren't so lucky. This is so wrong of people to do because how are they okay with doing

this to them it's almost like they are heartless.Animals also have feel pain and have emotion just

because they don't talk does not justify for people acting like that towards animals.Like people

that have animals fight eachother and bet on them, they indanger animals just for their self

entertainment.

The articleA Change of Heart about Animalsstates that they want to have people that

raise the pigs should get toys and 2 minutes of play time a day, that is something that should be

done because in that article it also talks about animals having feelings.Which is true and they

deserve to get attention because it's sad how they just keep them all locked up in cages.So

animals are actually really smart and

also fast learners, such as the gorilla Koko.In the artial about Koko Koko the Gorila

Communicates they talk about how shes the first gorilla to have mastered sign language nd

according to the Gorilla Foundation, she actually understands what that means. The foundation

says the lowland gorilla has a vocabulary of over 1,000 signs and understands approximately

2,000 spoken words in English.

Also how they mistreat animals to make things out of their skin such as uggs,and leather

good.The article Animal Abused And Killed For Their Skinsays that Every year, the global

leather industry slaughters more than a billion animals and tans their skins and hides.Like if that

was not enough they have them extremely crowded and confinement, deprivation, and

unanesthetized castration, branding, tail-docking, and dehorning as well as cruel treatment during

transport and slaughter.In the same artical it talks about how alligators can live up to 60 years,

but farmed alligators are usually butchered before the age of 2, as soon as they reach 4 to 6 feet

in length just to make merchincis out of them. They are beaten to death with mallets and axes,

sometimes remaining conscious and in agony for hours after theyre skinned.

The worst is how they use animals to test things on, people think that it's okay.Its said in

the article Should Animal Testing Be Banned that about 1.4 million animals die each year

from animal testing.Animals should not be used to be testing things on it's not right to be risking

animals lives just to test products.Some believe that animals are put on eat for us to eat and that

they dont really matter because they are just animals.In the bible it says that Every moving

thing that lives shall be food for you. and as I gave you the green plants, I give you

everything.So religious people don't think it's wrong to eat animals because its said, that's why

they were put on earth.

Animal cruelty has been a big problem not only in the US but many more places.Animals

should not be treated unfairly or killed for things we desire.The animals whose abuse is most

often reported are dogs, cats, horses and livestock. People think is okay to do to farm animals but

when it comes to house animals they are extremely stricts.They are all they same why should
Florentino1

they be treated differently.They can all be pets and not be used to.We can all teach our pets to be

smart like Koko the gorilla that was taught many things and is one of the smarted animals.Many

more animals would be saved if people stop eating them and purchasing leather goods.
