Introduction to my Blog: Animal Cruelty


Animal cruelty might seem like something you don't see in our society but it is everywhere. We see it in our cosmetics, fashion, entertainment etc. Here at my blog, I will be writing about the animal cruelty which only purpose is to hurt the animals for entertainment/testing/other. I won't be talking much about the consumption of animals since it is for survival.  But I will talk about unnecessary measures slaughter houses take. I personally believe there is no point in hurting an innocent being. Be it human or not. Animals feel pain just like us. We wouldn't want to be treated like this so why make another living creature go through the pain?


On my blog I will be writing a lot about domestic animals. Some of my topics will include animal testing, animals served as entertainment purposes, animals in sports and animal abuse. I will also write an animal raising guide. My purpose is to shine some light on these topics since we don't hear much about them. Some things we hear are myths and some are sugar coated. I hope to learn new things as well since some of the things I thought I knew might have been myths.

I've always been an animal lover. I've owned many pets and as a kid my favourite TV shows were usually animal shows. I admit I don't know a lot about animal cruelty other than what I have heard in society. My goal for this blog is to learn more while I research so I know exactly what's going on. It will probably make me think twice the next time I purchase something or the next time I see something on TV.

Fact: A Canadian Police study found that 70 percent of people arrested for animal cruelty had past records of other violent crimes.
