Animal mistreatness

Hello everybody! Today I will talk you about the animal mistreatness.
I have to say that I didn’t put some photos because it’s sad and very pitiful.
People only worry about their animals, but the others, what? All of them say that they can’t stand the animal mistreatness, but nobody does anything.
There are some ways to mistreat the animals:
1) Some animals are abandoned, either in the middle of the mountain or of a big city. Even there are some of them that are abandoned in their own house, because they don’t have food, water, hygiene or attention....
2) There are a lot of poachers that kill the animals to get their fur and obtaining benefits. The poachers haven’t got scruples and they only hunt for entertainment and they only get to damage the animal fauna. Because of that there are some animals in danger of extinction. A lot of them have died. But nowadays, a lot of governments put laws for avoiding it.
3) Experimentation with animals: every year, thousand of animals are used and sacrificed for experimental intentions, in the name of the science and the research. This includes: pharmacological industry, medical, chemical, food, biogenetics, veterinary ... In Europe, the annual figure is more than 11.000.000. In USA, it is more than 100 millions.
Examples of the animals with which they experiment: dogs, horses, birds, fishes, rats, goats, primates...
With this video you will see what means what I have told you. (veure video)
4) Acts of entertainment: there are illegal fights of dogs because their owners think that it is funny, but it isn’t. At first, the owners train the dogs or cocks and afterwards they prepare the fights. The men who train them don’t have scruples and because of that, some dogs become aggressive and unbalanced animals. During the fights, the public throw objects to the animals so they follow the fight. The owners close the animals in a ring. The fight finishes when one of the animals is casualty or exhausted. If the losing one has been humiliated, the owner can decide to kill the animals by a shot or cutting their neck. But, some of the winners die because of the injuries.

I put an example for you so that you check that everybody does this: the King of Spain made a polar bear drunk. The organizings of hunting gave to polar bear vodka with honey. The King was be able to kill Mitrofan, the polar bear in captivity, with a shot.

There are some charities to defend the rights of the animals. One of the most famous is PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
It is one of the greatest organizations in the world. It was set up in 1980. PETA is dedicated to establish and defend the rights of all animals. PETA promotes kind treatment of animals. Its philosophy is: “the animals aren’t ours to eat, wear, to do experiments or to be used for entertainment. “ If you want to be a member of them you can go on their site.


(I think my oral presentation was good, because it is topic of present. Maybe my pronuntation wasn't very good, because I have a very catalan accent, but the vocabulary I think it was good. I think it is a very good topic to talk about, because a lot of people have animals in their own houses)
