Please consult Encarta encyclopedia--animal experiments--and/or contact any animal rights group in the world listed in English on Internet. Good luck with your project.

That depends on what you consider abuse. If you mean torturing a pet, I think most states procecute that crime pretty harshly already. If you are talking about something idiotic like Whole Foods not carrying live lobsters because it is inhumane to the lobsters then you are way off base.

The Humane Society and the SPCA are more in line with my thinking. They stress reverence for living things, and having a relationship based on compassion between people and animals, without the smug, selfrightousness present in many PETA members.

Animals have no rights.  However, we, as humans, have a responsibility not to mistreat them.\n\nWith rights comes responsiblities.  Non-human animals are not capable of doing that.

Thought they were vegetarians.  You might want to contact the SPCA if they sqashed the cow.  OK, bad pun, but really, who cares?

Call your County Commissioner there should be one in charge of Animal Services- which should be the people fining you.. if they are unjust, you can fight it through the Commissioner... you could also use them as a mediation

While I am not in favor of either (Pro-life,own a pitbull), I do know that mankind has a tendency to use things such as extreme animal rights activism as a dumpimg ground for the suppressed guilt they feel because of having mistreated humanity in some way or other. \n\nDeep down inside, our society feels that animals are equal to (in some cases,like PETA) or are superior to humans. \n\nThis notion is clearly evident in legislation, where killing a child is okay and a matter of "choice" and where you end up fined/jailed for killing a pet. This a complete reversal of nature. We are to love one another above ourselves and have rulership/dominion over animals. This is the true natural order.

We should devote our time equally to human and animal rights.  One should not be more important than the other, seeing as they are both very important.  \nAnimal rights are important because:\n1. WE ARE ALL ANIMALS (those of you who took biology know this)\n2.  OUR SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON THEIR SURVIVAL\n3. SOME FEEL WHAT WE FEEL

When I was in college, I made extra money during some of my vacations by working for my brothers when they ran a mink ranch.  Don't worry, PETA tpyes--it's long since out of business.\n\nAnyway, one of the more delightful jobs I got was removing the false bottoms of cages a month after new litters were born.  They were covered in manure that I had to scrape off into a wheelbarrow.  I believe I had that detail all to myself for all of the ranch's 2000 females that had litters--just imagine the fun I had.  :-)

I would tell my family/friends that I love them and am happy to have had the time I have had with them. Then I would go to all the animal shelters and release all the critters. That way they would not die in cages. I would leave violent criminals in their cages though. Non-violent prisoners would need to be released also.

Find out what the animal abuse laws are in the state where it happened and file a criminal complaint against the person.  File a petition at www.thepetitionsite.com with all the facts and have people sign it to give to the court or judge who tries the case.  Contact your local animal welfare group to help you with all of this.  Contact www.hsus.org or www.peta.org to see what they would recommend.

If people admit that animals are worth being in relationships with, it calls up all the other problems. People have trouble morally with all that they do to animals and they don't want to be reminded of it.

I haven't seen the tape, but in order to sue you need either to have your own interests harmed, or you need to be suing under a law which grants a private right of action to sue to enforce the law.  Animal cruelty statutes are usually criminal, and have to be enforced by the district attorney or county prosecutor, not by suit of a private individual.

Your argument paper may want to show that not only owners can abuse animals.  \n\nSometimes the shelters abuse them too by putting them to sleep too fast because they don't want to spend the time finding homes for animals.\n\nThey also keep them cooped up in cages.  \n\nWhen they are in the cages, they are not played with enough.\n\nMaybe your argument paper can show that animal shelters do not do enough to find homes for animals.  \n\nYou can show that there needs to be a overhaul.\n\nThen again, your argument paper can show that tigers are almost extinct.  There used to be 500,000 and now there are only 5000 left.  People poach them.  You should argue against poachers and save the tigers from extinction. \n\nFind out who's working to do that.
