CRUELTY AGAINST ANIMALS: WHEN WILL THIS MISERY END?
Animal abuse is a very sensitive issue which needs to be dealt with, yet the people who
commit cruelty against animals are not aware of the extent of how inhuman their acts are.
The conditions which these innocent animals undergo due to these selfish acts of humans is
really very upsetting. Such issues shall be addressed as soon as it is possible.
Do you know how many countries are there in the world, where such inhuman acts are being
committed and their governments still sit as dormant bodies, not being sensitive towards the
excruciating pain which is inflicted upon these helpless, voiceless animals?
The way we behave towards other individuals in a society reflects our personality, but the
way we behave towards animals is something which reflects the extent of us being ‘human’.
Every day, millions of these helpless animals die in order to satisfy our taste buds… But, only
a few of us know what these animals have to go through before reaching our tables?
This is a rapidly growing nationwide problem, as animals are being battered and starved
every day, every minute, maybe even right now, while you are reading this- there must be
many innocent beings, whose skins are being ripped off from their bodies, or maybe who are
waiting for their turns in some slaughterhouse counting the last few minutes of their lives.
Does this fact send some shiver up and down your spine? Well, it does, at least for me….
Every single time I think about it.
“The greatness of a Nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are
treated” -Mahatma Gandhi
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the various accounts of Animal Cruelty
throughout different countries of the world. Here is a list of 6 such countries:
SAN BERNABE, MEXICO
This is a market in Mexico where there can be seen a large scale sale of animals like Horses,
donkeys, mules, etc.
•The horse slaughter and Animal cruelty over here is at its worst.
Horses are captured and tortured every week till the time they are left with no strength
to stand any more. After this, they are hung and are cut open to extract the viscera
from their bodies. After extracting the viscera, they are mercilessly thrown in the
middle of this market like garbage.
•These animals are beaten with pipes, sticks, rods, touches on their genitals, thereby,
pushing them under a great amount of stress.
•Those horses which get fractures, injuries, wounds or worms are left untreated.
•Even though, this kind of treatment of animals in San Bernabe violates two federal
laws and four of the sanitary laws of Mexico which are concerned with ecological
balance, environmental protection and Animal health, no action has ever been taken
by the institutions or authorities to solve this problem who still remain really passive
and sluggish towards this issue.
