So as many of you guys know, Earth day is around the corner and Earth has many problems that can be easily fixed. In this thread, I want to talk about a problem dealing with the Earth and that is Animal cruelty.
What is Animal Cruelty?
(Credit goes to Wikipedia) "Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse, animal neglect or animal cruelty, is the infliction by omission (animal neglect) or by commission by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human animal, regardless of whether the act is against the law."
The goal of this thread:
The goal of this thread is basically to inform. There are other goals such as:
Animals are living things. They don't deserve to be tortured, killed brutally, or live horrible lives. They have feelings too. They could feel pain. They are living, just like humans. They don't deserve this. Millions or animals are mistreated or killed.
Forms of Animal Cruelty:

The goal of this thread is basically to inform. There are other goals such as:
- Making other people aware or what animal cruelty is and why it is wrong.
- Make other people aware of what the animal might have to go through to be on your dinner plate.
- Make people aware what is going on in the world
- This thread is not made to change the way you eat.
Animals are living things. They don't deserve to be tortured, killed brutally, or live horrible lives. They have feelings too. They could feel pain. They are living, just like humans. They don't deserve this. Millions or animals are mistreated or killed.
Forms of Animal Cruelty:
- Neglect: This type of form is a passive form of animal cruelty which involves dehydration, starvation, lack of shelter, infections, and more.
- Industrial Farming: The meat on your dinner plate from the grocery store? Most likely, the animal was killed brutally and inhumanely. "Farm animals are generally produced in large, industrial facilities that house thousands of animals at high densities; these are sometimes called factory farms." (From Wikipedia). In these factory farms, animals are treated far more worse then neglect. In a video footage I've seen, pigs are thrown violently, killed and slaughtered, with baby piglets tails being cut off and being killed. Chickens heads are cut off anD their beaks trimmed, and sometimes their feet are cut off.
- Any forced fights involving animals like cockfighting and dogfights are abuse.
- Some people who abuse and cause cruelty to animals are people who lager became serial killer and/or rapists.
- Children who were abused or see abuse are more likely to abuse animals.
- "According to the American Humane Association, 13% of intentional animal abuse cases involve domestic violence" -Wikipedia

What can we do to help the problem?
- Donate. These donations will be used to help the animals through treatment, food, medicine, and more.
- Some websites to donate to is: https://www.aspca.org/, https://www.farmsanctuary.org/learn/factory-farming/, http://www.humanesociety.org/, and more.
- Raise awareness. Animal cruelty is WRONG. Make sure as much people know that it is. Tell your friends, show your friends this, show your family members. Just make sure the word gets across.
- Report any types of animal cruelty you see. Make sure you don't put yourself in danger.

I honestly don’t care... well that’s a harsh phrase lol. What I mean is, we killed animal’s children. So I mean I don’t make a big deal about animals killing humans. Just saying. Yes I know it’s weird, I’m weird, this whole world is weird.... yes, I know. I need help. But I mean, if you want to know why I don’t care... it’s because I think everything is fake. Everyone is fake, and I am the only one existing in this world. So that’s why I don’t care anymore. Because idk I have this belief of my own that every single thing... doesn’t exist. Why am I saying this? Idk... it just feels like I’m talking to myself...because...u ppl don’t exist... but... if u ppl are real, then... hello?¿? But yhea sure stop animal cruelty guys lol idk
