  1. Animal Abuse Presented by Chuying Zhang, Sina Ahmadi, Cecily Keihn, and Spencer Varner

  2. Animal Rights • Animal rights is also known as animal liberation. It is the idea that the most animals should and deserve to have the RIGHT to be free from human cruelty andjust as humans possess this right.

  3. Animal Cruelty • Animal abuse is divided into two categories- neglect and intentional cruelty. • Neglect is when the owner refuses to provide an animal with the most basic of requirements of food, water, shelter and veterinary care.

  4. Animal Cruelty • Intentional cruelty is often more cruel and surprising. Intentional cruelty is when an individual purposely inflicts physical harm on an animal.

  5. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus • At least 26 elephants, including four babies, have died since 1992. Fifty-seven of the approximately 62 elephants owned by Ringling in 1990 were captured in the wild.

  6. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus • While traveling through a desert, a 2-year-old lion died through the intense heat of the Mojave Desert in a poorly ventilated boxcar without being checked or given water. Many other animals died of diseases like tuberculosis. • This is just one circus! Think about how many animals die in circus AROUND THE WORLD!

  7. Zoos • Animals, in some cases live longer in zoos than in the wild. But wouldn’t that deprive them from their family and home? Consider this. If they just snatch a peasant from his/her family in a less-developed country and put her/him on display. They feed him regularly and provide him with efficient healthcare like they do in zoos. But is this acceptable?

  8. Zoos • Many argue that without zoos, it will be impossible to study the animals. To truly understand an animal, one must observe them in their NATURAL habitat. The condition in which animals are kept in zoos can considerably change their behavior. So in order to get accurate data, one can’t go to the zoo.

  9. Zoo mistreatment • Zoos often mistreat animals. They would keep them in small pens and cages. How would you feel if you are locked in a tight cage all your life with no one to talk to, with no room to exercise?

  10. Facts • 1. In many circuses, wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. • 2. Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies.

  11. Facts • 3. More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used in research every year. The question that I would ask is are 15 MILLION animals truly needed to find something out? • 4. Scientists estimate that 100 species go extinct every day! That's about one species every 15 minutes, and this is all the result of humans.

  12. Facts • 5. Tens of thousands of wild and domesticated horses from the United States are cruelly slaughtered every year to be used for horsemeat in Europe and Asia. Since the last horse slaughter plants in the U.S. were closed in 2007, thousands of horses have been shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

  13. Facts • 6. Neglect and abandonment are the most common forms of companion animal abuse in the United States. • 7. A fur coat is pretty cool—for an animal to wear. Eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox-fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat.

  14. Facts • 8.The number of fur-bearing animals that are killed each year by trappers in the United States is 3.5 billion. • 9. The number of animals that are harvested on fur farms is 2.7 million. • 10. The number of animals that are killed in U.S. laboratories each year is 70 million.

  15. Past Presidents have already made a law that if you are charged with animal abuse you will be fined anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000, but even with this law in place we still have animal abuse.
