Animal Abuse

[velvet]

Thousands wear leather or own leather. There is leather shoes, purses, jewellery boxes, wallets. There is so much made out of leather and I bet you all have something made out of leather that a poor cow has died for. Like I have leather school shoes. But I have to wear them.

I don't personally wear leather as i'm vegan.
But your point doesn't make much sence as leather is a bi-product.

I wouldn't mind going vegetarian, It's just a can't, as a kid I was never given veg and as a result, I can't stand the taste of veg, any of it.

I'm very very near being a carnivore.

Poor chickens....

Going vegetarian won't do anything, there will always be someone wanting meat, so it'll keep getting produced.

I hate animal cruelty, it just makes you feel so upset.
Its unfair how animals are treated, especially when they are used for meat. I understand that animals are needed to be killed for food, but I don't agree in the way they are treated before they are killed

Animals are tasty.

i do like a bit of veal now and then >:}

That's true, but tbh, either way they are gonna get killed, treated badly or not.

Well i'd like to say:-

Where i stay my next door neighbour has like 8 cats and did have 1 dog but died from neglection.

Anways this is more of neglection rather than abuse but she doesn't care about her cats what so ever. As i said she has 8, 8 of which hardly get feed, get a drink not get kept in the warmth when it's bad weather (espectically in Scotland). She has a cat which has recently vanished and she hasn't even noticed it's missing. I've feared that the cat is dead because it was in a very poor condition. I did call SSPCA once, but they said they couldn't do anything because everytime they went to her house she'd care for them like nothing is going on. I think it's aweful what she does to the poor cats.

Like i said she did have a dog which died early this year due to neglection, not being feed, watered or getting the proper excercise due to the size of dog. I think the SSPCA should just take the animals off her and give them away to a loving caring home. But as i said they can't because ever time there called she cares for them.

Anyways just thought i'd share that since we're discussing the topic of Animal Abuse which i think so STOP, Full STOP!.

Thanks for reading.

Yep, this happens a lot.
Neglection and everything.
It is sad
I mean think about all those poor animals, starving etc.
What I don't get is why the cats don't runaway though,

well when someones punished for animal abuse its only like banned from keeping animals for 5 years or something when they can easily just abuse them again it should be a jailable (sp?) offense,its sick, animals are living things to and they deserve the right of a living thing kthx
woops sorry bout size of text never noticed

You are totally right.
I don't eat in places like KFC or Mc Donalds either.
The carrot sticks in Mc Donalds are actually unhealthy! They dip them into caramel or something.
[Says my friend]

Mcdonalds sent a leaflet around most peoples houses a month or so ago. Animal treatment there is now good. They use animals from a few hundred farms in england and ireland that are nice to the animals

I'd say eating meat isn't animal abuse. It's just the food chain, you can't stop it, it's something that occurs naturally.

However, I am against killing animals for other purposes, such as for their fur etc.

I don't like how your saying FoodChain. I understand what you mean, but i don't see eating something bought from KFC, the supermarket or whereever as being food chain because we didn't hunt it. Just my opinion

Totally guys,
I mean I am not going to turn vegetarian, but I mean this is life. We will never ever be able to stop this, but I would prefer it if animals were allowed to actually see daylight and never be trapped in cages. And I will never wear fur, but think about it. Thousands wear leather or own leather. There is leather shoes, purses, jewellery boxes, wallets. There is so much made out of leather and I bet you all have something made out of leather that a poor cow has died for. Like I have leather school shoes. But I have to wear them.

In all fairness, the cows going to be killed anyway yes? So why waste its skin? Surely if you kill the animal, use its meat for food and skin for leather then your being resourceful?

think about it how would the owners like it if they had owners which locked them in a small space to starve to death or who fattned them so much that they could not walk or move
