social awareness day 3

#3:  Animal Abuse

a·buse

a·bused, a·bus·ing, noun –verb (used with object)
1.
to use wrongly or improperly; misuse: to abuse one's authority.
2.
to treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way: to abuse a horse; to abuse one's eyesight.
3.
to speak insultingly, harshly, and unjustly to or about; revile; malign.
 
 
animal abuse is just plain wrong. there is no other side to that story. i's just wrong. how would you feel if someone just started abusing you for no logical reason. if humans are considered the smart/better species, it is our job to care for those under us. evolution, or god (whatever you believe in) chose us to be the smart ones. chose us to be in charge. but being in charge doesn't mean that we have the right to just abuse someone. yes, animals are considered someone, because if humans are just different types of animals. so if humans are someones, all the other animals are too.
 
when i first searched abused animals on google, i got tons of articles on how to stop it. when i read some of the stories, i began to cry. and i was going to put an image up but, i was too horrified to even look at them. if you feel that you've got the guts to look at them, click on this link and you will see what i saw.
