3. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
◼ Cruelty to animal, also called animal abuse is the
crime of inflicting suffering or harm upon animals, for
purposes other than self defence.
◼ Today human beings have become selfish enough
to other living being i.e., animals for their own
pleasure and needs. But people do not realize that
animals also have equal rights to live in this planet
like humans.
◼ Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of
a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are
symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance.
Research in psychology and criminology shows that
people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t
stop there—many of them move on to their fellow
humans

4. ANIMAL AS FOOD
▪ As Paul Mc Carteny has said –” If
slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be
vegetarian” is so true.
▪ Over 10 billion animal are slaughtered for human
consumption every year such as cattle, pigs,
chicken etc. Laying hens are kept in tiny cages,
and many of them die of stress and diseases.
▪ These animals will never raise their families, root
around in the soil, build nests or do anything
natural and important to them. Most won’t even
feel the sun on their back or breathe fresh air
until the day they are loaded on trucks bound for
slaughter.

5. HUMAN VIOLENCE TO ANIMALS
⮚ Until the past 20 years, the connection between violence against animals and violence against humans went
unrecognized. Now a growing body of research has shown that people who abuse animals rarely stop there.
⮚ It’s been estimated that there are 900 to 2,000 new cases every year of animal hoarding in the US, with
250,000 animals falling victim.
⮚ Over 115 million animals – mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, among others – are killed in
laboratory experiments worldwide for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year.
⮚ More than 50% the fur in the US comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats are often bled to death
and skinned alive for their fur. Chinese fur is often mislabeled, so if you wear any fur, there’s no sure way of
knowing whose skin you’re in.
⮚ The following are reasons people justify animal cruelty and deny animal rights: 1) animals do not have souls;
2) God gave humans dominion over animals; 3) humans are intellectually superior to animals; 4) animals do
not reason, think, or feel pain like humans do; 5) animals are a natural resource to be used as humans see fit;
and 6) animals kill each other
⮚ THERE ARE MANY MORE POINTS THAT EXIST NOT ONLY EXIST BUT WE SEE THEM IN DAILY LIFE
BUT WE CAN’T TAKE ACTION BECAUSE WE ARE JUST NORMAL PEOPLE AND NOT ANY POLITICIAN
OR CELEBRITY WHEN THEY WILL DO SOMETHING THAN ONLY WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

7. ANIMALS USED FOR
CLOTHING
◼ Animals used for clothing: leather, fur, wool, feathers, silk
◼ Billions of animals are slaughtered and processed each year, for the “Fashion Industry”. Whether we’re speaking of leather, fur,
wool, feathers/down, or silk, animals are “ranched”/raised, trapped, mutilated and killed under some of the most horrific conditions
imaginable, in order to produce the clothing and accessories that most of us wear.
◼ LEATHER- Pigskin is used in apparel, wallets and on seats of saddles. Lamb and deerskin are used for soft leather in more
expensive apparel. Deer and elkskin are widely used in work gloves and indoor shoes. Buffalo, horses, goats, dogs, snakes,
kangaroos, oxen, and yaks are also be used for leather. ALTERNATIVE- faux-leather is fashionable, eco-friendly, durable and far
less expensive than animal skins.
◼ FUR FARMING : mink, fox, lambs, raccoons , rabbits, dogs…
Hunting and trapping of exotic and wild animals: fox, lynx, sable, chinchilla, mink, raccoons, beavers, seals. 50 million animals are
raised and killed each year on filthy fur farms that continue to exist in Finland, Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Canada and in China
which is today, probably the largest and cruelest exporter of cheap fur pelts (dogs, cats, rabbits) in the world. Fur trimmed with the
skins of fur-bearing animals, whether a coat, hat, gloves, boots, sweater.
ALTERNATIVE-Don’t wear fur.
◼ SILK is used for shirts, dresses, tie, etc. It is extracted by boiling cocooned worms, on their way to becoming moths. The cocoon
itself is raw silk, built by the silkworm, which will be destroyed by the moth as it chews its way out of the cocoon. For this reason,
the moths are boiled alive, killing the moth and making it easier to unravel the silk. Tens of millions of silk moths are boiled alive
every year and leading them to painful death.
ALTERNATIVE-Wear artificial silk like rayon, nylon, etc.

8. ANIMALS USED FOR TESTING
◼ Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats,
frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and
birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical
training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food,
and cosmetics testing.
◼ Before their deaths, some are forced to inhale toxic fumes, others
are immobilized in restraint devices for hours, some have holes
drilled into their skulls, and others have their skin burned off or their
spinal cords crushed.
◼ They are confined to barren cages, socially isolated, and
psychologically traumatized.
MANY BRANDS AND CAMPAIGNS HAVE COME FORWARD
AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING AND TRYING TO STOP ANIMALS
USE AS TESTING SUBJECT.

9. CULTURAL RITUALS
◼ ‘Tradition is NOT an excuse for cruelty’
◼ Ritual slaughter is the practice of slaughtering
livestock for meat in the context of a ritual.
◼ In Spain, the bullfight is on its way out. In India, we
have our own shameful traditions, sacrifice of goats,
chickens, pigeons and male water buffalos.
◼ All religions call for compassion, no religion requires
killing or eating animals, and hacking animals to
death with weapons is just plain cruel.
◼ Animal sacrifice is also bad for everyone: it
normalizes killing and desensitizes children to
violence against animals.

10. FEW LAWS BY THE
COUNTRY

11. ANIMAL RIGHTS
Animal rights is the idea in which some, or all, animals are entitled to the possession of their own existence and that their
most basic interests—such as the need to avoid suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar
interests of human beings.
1. It is the fundamental duty of every citizen of India to have compassion for
all living creatures. Article 51A(g).
2. To kill or maim any animal, including stray animals, is a punishable
offence. IPC Sections 428 and 429.
3. Abandoning any animal for any reason can land you in prison for up to
three months. Section 11(1)(i) and Section 11(1)(j), PCA Act, 1960.
4. No animal (including chickens) can be slaughtered in any place other
than a slaughterhouse. Sick or pregnant animals shall not be slaughtered.
Rule 3, of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, (Slaughterhouse) Rules, 2001
and Chapter 4, Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011.
5. Stray dogs that have been operated for birth control cannot be captured
or relocated by anybody including any authority. ABC Rules, 2001.

12. WAY TO SAVE ANIMALS
Spay and neuter. Each year, millions of dogs and cats are put to death in animal shelters.
Spaying and neutering eases the overpopulation problem and prolongs the life of your dog or
cat.
Never buy an animal from a pet shop. Adopt your companion animals from shelters. Pet shops
buy from puppy mills and large-scale breeders who contribute to the population crisis and whose
over-bred animals are often very unhealthy.
Take notice and take action. Never ignore stray animals on the street, where they can become
victims of disease, starvation, and human cruelty. Contact you local animal shelter to report a
lost animal.
Never give an animal as a gift. Many an animal has been abandoned because people aren’t

13. WHY SHOULD ANIMAL CRUELTY BE STOPPED?
According to a study conducted by Northeastern university of the MSPCA in
1975, 70% of those who committed crimes against animals had also been
involved in other violent, property, drug, and disorderly crimes.
The also concluded that a person who has committed animal abuse is
⮚5 times more likely to commit violence against people.
⮚4 times more likely to commit property crimes.
⮚3 times more likely to be involved in drunken or disorderly offenses.

14. Why does it matters
◼ 71% of pet-owning women entering women's
shelters reported that their baterer had injured,
maimed, killed or threatened family pets for
revenge or to psychologically control victims.
◼ 32% reported heir chiildren had hurt or killed
animals.
◼ 68% of battered women reported violence
towards their animals.
◼ 13% of intentional animal abuse cases involve
domestic violence.
It matters because Pets may suffer
unexplained injuries, health problems,
permanent disabilities at the hands of
abusers, or disappear from home.

15. Organization and how do they help
◼ PAWS (Pets- and Women's Safety Act) give Victims or domestic abuse means to escape their abusers
while keeping their companion animals safe.
◼ ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) provide effective means for the
prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.
◼ PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is an American animal rights organization based in
Norfolk, Virginia, and led by Ingrid Newkirk, its international president.
◼ WAP (world animal protection) is an international non-profit animal welfare organization that has been in
operation for over 30 years. The charity describes its vision as: A world where animal welfare matters and
animal cruelty has ended.
HOW DO THEY HELP :
1) Provide a safe haven to homeless and mistreated animals.
2) Fight cruelty and rescue animals by investigating and making arrests for crimes against animals.
