Article on cruelty to animals in 120 words

Answer 1

Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is both the unintentional (animal neglect) and the intentional infliction by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, regardless of whether the act is against the law. More narrowly, it can be the causing of harm or suffering for specific achievement, such as killing animals for food or for their fur; opinions differ about the extent of cruelty associated with a given method of slaughter. Cruelty to animals sometimes encompasses inflicting harm or suffering for personal amusement, as in zoosadism.

Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent the needless cruelty. Divergent approaches to such laws occur in different jurisdictions throughout the world. For example, some laws govern methods of killing animals for food, clothing, or other products, and other laws concern the keeping of animals for entertainment, education, research, or pets. Cruelty to animals is not necessarily the same thing as disrespect towards animals.

In broad terms, there are three conceptual approaches to the issue of cruelty to animals. The animal welfare position holds that there is nothing inherently wrong with using animals for human purposes, such as food, clothing, entertainment, and research, but that it should be done in a way that minimizes unnecessary pain and suffering, sometimes referred to as "humane" treatment.

Utilitarian advocates argue from the position of costs and benefits and vary in their conclusions as to the allowable treatment of animals. Some utilitarians argue for a weaker approach which is closer to the animal welfare position, whereas others argue for a position that is similar to animal rights. Animal rights theorists criticize these positions, arguing that the words "unnecessary" and "humane" are subject to widely differing interpretations, and that animals have basic rights. They say that the only way to ensure protection for animals is to end their status as property and to ensure that they are never used as commodities.

                                   Cruelty Towards Animals

Sadly, various animals are exploited cruelly. This scene is there on the roads before the common people and those belonging to the govt. agencies. These agencies protect the animals in the right spirit but on paper only.

This cruelty towards animals is due to various reasons. For instance, 35% of the people have an indifferent attitude towards animal cruelty. 15% believe that animals are man's slaves. 50% believe that animals are exploited for selfish interests. But it is a hard fact that animals are treated cruelly. We see them being beaten when they can't pull Quintilian of load. Then they are boiled alive for medicinal purposes.

Animals are our friends, helpers and necessary for survival. They maintain the ecological balance of nature. For instance, peacocks kill the snakes. Snakes kill the rats. Rats destroy the crops. This natural web of life is fundamental to human survival. Beating the animals on the roads shows our apathy towards them. There is the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). We should report to it if we see cruelty to them. A serious view should be taken by the govt. officials. They must work for animals' interests. We should know that animals are like us–living beings and feel pain and pleasure like us.
