Animal exploitation is one of the biggest problems we face. Today, more than 3,000 animals die killed every second because of very cruel practices. Decrease this figure is in everyone’s hands and more than ever of governments. Unfortunately, few measures are carried out so that animals do not suffer as they are doing in the 21st century.
Next, we describe some of those practices that make animals that have only known fear and pain.
Circuses
Animals have to live in freedom to be happy and carry out those activities that are natural in them. Cage their lives for that work in circuses is to end their freedomfavor stereotyped behaviors and reduce their life expectancy. Some of these negative factors are the stress they suffer from being locked up, malnutrition, sadness and ill -treatment that many of them receive.
Peletera industry
The theme of The skins It is a very delicate issue. Millions of animals die from this cause. It is worth a fact: 85% of the skin used in European production comes from farm -raised animals. These live in very poor conditions and die drastically to prevent the skin from deteriorating. Electrocutation, suffocation and lethal injections are some of the procedures used to end the life of these animals. Hunted animals such as seals die from the strong blows they receive from hunters. A brutal death.
Bullfighting
The “Fiesta” of bullfighting makes 20,000 bulls die a year in Spain. In addition, they do not die in a dignified way, they are tortured and killed by characters that earn life very well with it. The spectators are accomplices of a slaughter that has to end. A lunge with a 1 meter long sword destroys the lungs, liver, diaphragm or heart of the animal. If they have not managed to kill the bull, they use the so -called “Puntilla” to destroy the spinal cord. A savage of show that takes place in much of Spain with parties such as El Toro de la Vega in Tordesillas.
Abandonment
Buy animals That they are on sale may seem very good, but doing so contributes without realizing the increase in Animal abandonmentas well as to the exploitation of these to raise and sell their young. It may be well to buy or welcome an animal, but whenever it is that animal as it deserves and Do not leave. It is useless to buy a dog if when summer arrives it is abandoned in the middle of the road to starve or outrage. Leaving the man’s best friend to not have a heart. Unfortunately, in Spain the figure of abandonment is extremely high.
Hunting and fishing
So much Hunting as Fishing They are totally reproachable practices. While it is true that we can feed ourselves with meat and fish as omnivores that we are, no less true that we can do without having to kill animals as hunters do and also choose to increase the consumption of vegetables much more than animal products, or we can even live without meat and fish.
For example, in Spain there are almost a million hunters. Hunted animals will be destined for gastronomy or illegal traffic of goods, as are the ivory fangs of the elephants.
Scientific experimentation
Experiment with animals It is something that has been done for a long time. Rabbits, rats, sheep, goats, dogs, pigs or cats are some of the animals that have to go through the laboratory to be meat of experimentation. During the time they are used, they suffer all kinds of torture and treatments that finally end their lives. Whether for hygiene products such as colonies or medications, animals are always the first to suffer the negative effects of chemical materials. Cosmetics, chemical industry, pharmacology, psychology studies or the army use animals without compassion for their studies.
Aquariums and zoos
As with circuses, animals see their freedom to remain in captivity throughout their lives. Despite what The zoos and aquariums They defend that they have animals due to learning and research, the truth is that it is a business to profit at the expense of some animals living in unavailable conditions. We do not say it because they are poorly treated, we say it because all animals have to live in freedom to achieve their maximum life expectancy. Although it is formed that endangered species are preserved in zoos and aquariums, the truth is that 66 of the more than 6,000 endangered species are found in those places safe.
Farms
The farms They deserve special mention. It is perhaps the place where animals suffer more during the time they are there. They are slaughterhouses that we could compare with Auschwitz concentration camps during World War II. The animals get there, they are barley to the fullest and sacrificed so that the meat can be used in the markets. The animals living in industrial production farms They suffer during transport and during the stay. Many animals are agglutinated in very little space and are sacrificed through a method that guarantees to kill the largest number of animals in the shortest possible time.
