Animal Abuse

Some people find themselves superior compared to animals and thus disrespect animals by abusing them.The likely victims of animal abuse are normally domestic pets like dogs,cats,rabbits,guinea pigs and more.

Recently,there has been a case in Singapore where a woman was caught beating her dog with a bunch of sticks on video.I find this owner inhumane as her reason for hitting her dog is totally unacceptable.She claimed on disciplining her dog for biting cushions by using the bunch of sticks to hit her dog's head repeatedly leaving the poor dog yelping and cowering in a corner.Being a dog owner,she should have known that her dog being a puppy chew because their gums are painful and itchy when teething.She should have used proper ways to discipline her dog like giving a stern "no" .Being a puppy,it is still young and playful so she should buy chew toys for the puppy to solve it's chewing tendencies .

The Agri-Food and veterinary Authority(AVA) will not hesitate to take action against owners if there is sufficient evidence of cruelty and the penalties can be a fine of $10000 and/or imprisonment of 12 months.

Animal owners should be compassionate and responsible,abusing animals is a wrong and very inhumane behavior.In the first place,they buy their pets because they find them lovely and cute so how can they end up abusing their pets?
