Animal cruelty quite literally rips my heart out.
The Dog: A man in Utah put his girlfriends dog in the oven last year. The dog survived, thank God, but was severely burned. Seriously, what possessed you?!?!
The Elephant: An episode on television a year ago revealed the torture elephants go through with the circus and one mans attempt to free the elephant he had chained and tortured his whole life. Another episode revealed the torture received by one elephant before finally belting out of the circus during an event just to be shot to death.
The Monkey: An episode on television revealed the monkey who had been injected with 34 times the lethal dose of HIV for medical testing. The monkey was very sweet with the man who rescued him, but because of his deadly illness had to be kept in a cage.
The dolphins: An episode on television revealed the dolphins that are pinned in during tuna fishing. This fishing expedition – which goes on every day – pins dolphins in, smashing them together, while they scream, cry and bleed to death.
The sharks: Sharks are fished everyday for - the so called delicacy - shark fin soup. Sharks are pulled out of the water to have their fins cut off before the sharks are thrown back into the deep to drown. By the way this is illegal yet continues to this day!
The Killer Whale: Did you know the killer whale is the most protected species on earth yet when they die their bodies have to be disposed of as toxic waste? Even the things you don't see are abusive. We say the killer whale is protected yet we kill them slowly with toxic waste everyday.
The Bear:…and today I hear about a SPORT (really people!!?! REALLY!?!? A sport?) where bears are chained up through their nostrils while dogs attack them. Are you kidding me?!?! Spectators are just as sick and soulless!!
I am the type of person who changes the channel because I can’t bear to watch anything tortured and I sure as hell aint buying a ticket to witness cruelty. My throat tightens as tears swell and with a shivering chin and aching heart I just cry for the ones who have no voice and the soulless people who can stare helplessness in the face and act with hatred and NO REGARD.
Abusive behavior is NOT acceptable period.
It's simple people! Treat every living thing as you would treat them if you were them. What ever it takes for you to give a damn!!

Well said. People surprise me in wonderful ways but they also stun me in their capacity to be cruel to animals and each other.
