China animal cruelty, horror upon horror

I first wrote this report on animal cruelty in China a few of years ago. It has received thousands off acknowledgments on Facebook and the like but sadly little has changed in China. We know full well that China has a poor record of human rights. We also know that Western leaders are now prepared to do business with China. As Western economies fail this may make good financial sense but do we really want to be condoning a lack of animal and human rights and welfare? . More Here

EURO 2012 Ukrainian dog killing latest

In November 2011 the UK Guardian reported on the animal slaughter sweeping through the Ukraine ahead of EURO 2012. The report included an image of a dog appearing to look at a poster highlighting the killing campaign.

What is Animal Cruelty?

It may sound a silly question but trust me it is not. There are animals breed in captivity for the sole purpose of experiments. Although conditions have improved many animals continue to suffer. There will always be reasons and or excuses why such animal treatment still goes on but if you consider the definition of animal cruelty you cannot deny it is wrong.

Animal cruelty is:
"The crime of inflicting physical pain, suffering or death on an animal, usually a tame one, beyond necessity for normal discipline. It can include neglect that is so monstrous (withholding food and water) that the animal has suffered, died or been put in imminent danger of death"

To my mind that makes the matter clear

PETA against:

< Planned Beagle breeding unit in Yorkshire

< China's shocking fur trade

< Stop animal cruelty

Cruelty of bear bile farms

There are many acts of cruelty meted out on defenceless animals. Man as the supposedly superior being seems to feel that all other species are there for the taking.
