A young orangutan's story

An Young Orangutan's Story on Prezi

I think Orangutans are really cute and I feel really terrible about the fact that humans hurt them. This is just a simple story but it tells a very deep story. Hope you like it!

Court: "It's not cruelty"

   

   This story is from a year ago but I think it doesn't make it any less interesting and educating. It's a story of a dog, hope you enjoy. I know it's long but please read it all.











     It's summer 2011 a 27 year old man is having a fight with his wife. Before it he got drunk. In the other room their baby is crying. The man is looking for a dummy to keep it quiet but he can't fine it. He shouts at his wife again Their dog, a little mix breed reacts to the fight with barking. The man throws him out of the window on the second storey. The dog lands on his neighbours garden. The neighbours call the police. The man spends the night at the police station, he has 2 per mills of alcohol in his organism.
    The dog lives but runs away. The wife of the man finds him the next day. He is bruised and has a few cracks in his skull. The woman tells the police she takes care of the dog and the animal goes back home.
    Court: It's just an accident
     Prosecutors accused the man of savere animal cruelty. He was threatened with three years of prison. The man agreed that it was his fault but said he did it because he was very angry and that he takes good care of the dog.
    It wasn't high enough and the ground too soft.
     The court sees it differently. They say the man wasn't cruel to the dog because he didn't make the dogs pain long. It would be like it if he for example chocked or stabbed the dog or threw him out of a window higher than the second storey. 
      "throwing a dog out of  window on the 10th storey could be called cruelty, but throwing him out of a window on the second storey onto garden theritory is not,"- says the judge. Also another thing is them man was very angry and he threw the dog out quickly not causing it long mental injuries.
     "Short time of pain and no mental injuries on one hand and the impulsive act of the man on the other hand, without savere pain towards the dog makes him innocent. All he did that under stress and anger he threw thedog out of the window.," says the judge and insists the dog didn't suffer from too bad of an injury.
     The judge makes the man innocent and only more incidents like that might change his mind. "It's not ethical and funny"- say the prosecutors.
Death s not a usual outcome of a fall from a second stoorey
 The man won't also be prosecuted for trying to kill the dog, because?According to the court throwing a dog out of a window on the second storey should not be taken as an act understood as the word "kill" because "death of an animal is not a usual outcome of an event like that. The court says that if the man wanted to kill the dog he would throw him of from a higher floor.
                                                 I got this information and picture from an online article I transelated.
For me even thinking of throwing your dog out of the window no matter in what state of mind should be considered as animal cruelty. They dog even though was not very badly hurt still felt pain and had to go threw a thraumatic experience of falling. Look at it this way, if a human was thrown out of a window on the second storey the person who did it would be prosecuted for sure no matter if he was drunk or not. Why isn't a dog treated like a human? Because it's just an animal. For me it's just terrible that the owner wasn't prosecuted in any way, he didn't even have to pay a fine. The jude must have a hearth of ice if he didn't feel any compashion for the dog. I think three years of jail is the least the man should get for causing a living thing pain, doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal.
                                                                                                            Thanks, for reading!
Remember if you see animal cruelty report it to the police!!!   
    

Cruelty to Ponies

   

Dear reader, this post is similar to the last one. It talks about animal cruelty done by ordinary people not in labs or circuses. This story is one that my friend told me:
Near her house is a field where ponies are kept. They live in terrible conditions. They are very skinny and can barely stand on their feet. They are also teit to a fence with something that cuts them. My friend tried to pet one of them and put up her hand, the horse was obviously preaviously beaten and was scared she was going to hit him, so it ran away. They are also kept in a run down house which could collapse any time.
She tried to help them by feeding them or letting them out of the house. She is also considering telling the police and I totally agree.
Remember, if you see animal cruelty don't just walk away but try to help.

Homeless Dogs, strays

Few days ago I went to my friends rachel's house. Her neighbour's dog was in heat and I witnessed something I didn't expect. I never thought there could be so many stray dogs in one place. In the two hours I was there I saw 3 dogs in front of the neighbour's house all of them homeless.
     One of them was outside the house for a few days. He still had a collar but you could see the place where the tag was ripped of. He was to scared to come close and ran away everytime he heard a noise. My friend fedf him with ham and the doggie jumped on it like he never seen food before, that means he was very hungry.
    The second one was a terrier that lived on the streets for over a year and we called him lion because he was very hairy. He was the one used to people the most and let us pet him before. But his condition was terrible, he had dirty and tangled fur.
The third one looked like a sheperd dog mix. He looked very skinny and sick. Like the other two his coat was in bad condition and he didn't have a collar. He also had problems with getting rid of his fiecies.
It shows how some human's don't care about the welfare of their pets.It should change, you can help by:

• Adopting dogs from shelters instead of buying them from breeders.
• Help out in your local dog shelter.
• Castrate your dog.   

 
 

Animal cruelty presentation

In school we learned how to use an internet program called Prezi.

Then we had to make a presentation with it. I decided to use this opportunity well and my presentation is about animal cruelty.

Here it is:

The Snare - hunting

                                 THE SNARE by James Stephens
                                                              I hear a sudden cry of pain!
                                                              There is a rabbit in a snare:
                                                              Now I hear the cry again,
                                                              But I cannot tell from where.

                                                              But I cannot tell from where
                                                              He is calling out for aid!
                                                              Crying on the frightened air,
                                                             Making everything afraid!

                                                             Making everything afraid!
                                                             Wrinkling up his little face!
                                                             And he cries again for aid;
                                                            - and I cannot find the place!

                                                            And I cannot find the place
                                                            Where his paw is in the snare!
                                                            Little One! Oh, Little One!
                                                            I am searching everywhere!

 One of my favourite poems. Makes me cry every time. But it is perfect for todays topic hunting for fun. 


Unlike hundreths of years ago we don't need to hunt to survive. Most people do it for fun or money. In canada hundreths of seal are killed for fun every year, in other countries there are special hunting spots. In countries where animals over populate killing is not painful and necessary. But snares and other forest animal traps are cruel and painful. Sometimes an animal is left in one for so long it dies of hunger or it bleeds to death. Plz stand up for the poor animals

 under this picture someone wrote that it is an awesome rabbit trap. It is not awesome for the rabbit.
 

Animal Testing

I love animals!!! I think they should have the same rights like us. I hate people who test on animals. I unfurtunetly use animal tested products but that is because I live with my parents and I have to use what they use. 

Although modern alternative test methods exist, huge multiproduct manufacturers, including Unilever, Clorox, Church & Dwight, Johnson & Johnson, and others, continue to poison and harm animals in tests that aren't even required by law. Even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you.

I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. ... The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. ―Mark Twain

whale hunting

This is a happy whale:

This is a sad whale:  









I would like to see all whales like the one in the first picture. But as humans will never be able to make that come true. Because even if we stop whaling there will still be marine parks. 7400 whales are killed every year for their meat and oils. Blue whales and orcas are becoming endargered because of hunting. Long ago humans needed whale meat to survive. Some still do now. But the killing methods became inhumane.
A harpoon is the key tool for hunting whales. It is launched into the animal in order to injure it and eventually bring about its death. This gradual death can go on for lengthy periods of time.
Plz pledge to never help whaling in any way in the comments.
 

A message to the world

This post is for all animal haters and people who are scared of animals. (If your not one plz still read this)
Over 15 million people die per year only a few of these are by animals. Still not convinced? Take these shark killings.
sharks kill humans each year: 5
humans kill sharks each year: 100 million
Animals are not our enemies, don't think of them as monsters because we are them to animals.
Sometimes I feel ashamed of being a human. 
We take what we want not caring about then consequences:

• Hunt animals
• eat animals
• wear animals
• destroy their homes
• polute the earth

Who gave us the right?
We are the smartest creatures on our planet but we are so stupid and selfish.
Remember the elephant in my circus post or the orca in my marine parks post.They killed humans but they were just scared and hurt and if you think closer you start to think it was the humans fault.
So next time you look at an animal like at a monster or killer look into a mirror. You are the real monster.
I had a hard day and I thought about animals. I wrote the draft in tears and I'm happy to post it. I hope I didn't hurt anyone by what I said.

Undercover investigation at Glendeer pet farm

This week I did something different than usually. I went on an undercover investigation to Glendeer farm. My friends family took me and there I saw the animal cruelty.
My Report:

  Facts and cruelty:
1. Pigeons: There are 13 pigeons in one of the cages. The cage on one of my pictures was only about a metre high so the birds couldn't fly and filthy too.Birds haddirthy water and were walking on poo.
2. Pigs: There are 11 pigs in two 3mX3m sized cages. My friend     said it was dirthy.
3. Rabbits: There are 29 rabbits in the same size cage as the pigs and some were in an other cage with two kittens. The public was allowed to hold them.
4. Donkeys: Had overgrown hooves and people put their children on them. The worker said they rob them of the pavement.They had problems walking and showed signs of trauma.
5.There was a monkey at the farm wich was not there 2 years ago. As you probably know from my other posts monkeys are social animals so they are not suppose to be allown. But the monkey was in a small cage on its own scared running from side to side.
6. The puppies were generally well cared for, but manny people said they look unhealthy and goats had rotting oranges in there pen.


Plz remember the contest your Marta

Furs

Hi guys! I'm now going to talk about a bloody subject Furs.
I rather be naked than wear a fur is what a campaing says. I completly agree to it. For me a fur is not just animal hair it's: blood, separated families, hundreds of cries for help and an empty soul of a naked animal.

Whether it came from an animal on a fur farm or one who was trapped in the wild, every fur coat, trinket, and bit of trim caused an animal tremendous suffering—and took away a life.
Animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gas, and poison.
More than half the fur in the U.S. comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and often skinned alive for their fur. Chinese fur is often deliberately mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, there's no way of knowing for sure whose skin you're in.
