i think yes.
note. cruelty to animals need not be kicking it,slapping it, poking
with sharp object etc, it could be as simple as forcing a very shy
animal who normally avoids human population whenever it can, to
play with humans, albeit forcibly. abuse can also come in the form
of mental, like keeping an animal found in the wild in a cage or a
pool. it's just like keeping a dog in a tiny room which normally is
found on big farms. just like u ask an athelete to remain in front
of a com for the whole day ( i know most of us can do it ) when
he/she is used to running abt on the tracks etc.
these animals are not humans, they dun cry ( only some animals do)
or write to aunt agony or call good samaritan hotline when they are
stressed. they dont tell u "eh i am stressed, release me" . animals
reveal their stress in manners often seen a signs of aggression.
yet how many of us do know their justification for such
aggression?
food ? they have ample food.
partners ? they are probably so stressed they cant even mate.
sick? they have vets.
freedom ? can anyone answer me ?
can anyone find another reason why ?
even fellow humans are not spared from our abuse. try looking in yr
own home. yr older relatives like yr
grandparents,great-grandparents, maids and not to mention yr own
parents.
the principle for animals can also be applied here, talking to yr
granny once in 3 mths is not communication, buying lunch for her
and talking her to the doc when she is sick is not care and
cocern.abuse and cruelty to them need not be physical,like beating
them etc. it could be as simple as ignoring them etc. for maids
there are ppl who cause deaths and force them to turn bad because
of physical and mental abuse.
i wont elaborate much on the human side .
so for conclusion, ask 1 question before u think whether shld we
train this animal or not. WHO ARE YOU? who do u think u are to take
control and possess an animal's life and manipulate to yr whim and
fancy? do u mind if i control everything u do from where u do yr
business,waht u eat, when u sleep,how long u sleep,etc ?
note,animals are living things,not commodities. if u want respect,
respect others.
