Every year billions of animals suffer because of us. Billions of animals that don't get to see the light of day, feel the warmth of the sun.
For some animals, the first time they see the sun is when they are being moved to a slaughterhouse. It is their first and last time.

Our way of life - the very fabric of society - is based on cruel and inhumane treatment of animals. Billions of animals die unnecessarily for sports, "science", clothes and entertainment.

It's OK to eat meat, there are carnivores in the planet... The Lord gave us fowl, asses and cattle to eat as mentioned in Exodus... Now, we farm cattle, sheep, fowl(birds...including ducks, chickens and turkeys), asses, pigs, deer, ostriches, camel and many others... We kill cows for leather to make shoes, clothes, belts and wallets but we farm them... Keeping the population stable...

Because carnivorous animals take what they need and we don't, that makes a BIG difference... Furthermore, some of the animals we kill and consume are not farmed animals, decimating their numbers to the point of extinction...

One thing, animals kill for self defense sometimes so it's OK to beat up mosquitoes, flies, termites, rats and roaches as they threaten our lives...

Here are some examples...

Bullfighting in Spain... The bulls are farmed but are not killed atraight forward but abused by tiring it and piercing it with spears, causing it to die a painful death caused by blood loss and extreme fatigue...
Another example of animals killed for sport... Cockfighting... Like bullfight's the animal is abused by each other... Thus, depicting humans cruelty, turning natural instincts into a cruel and insane game...
In Form 4, I will face this, dissecting lab frogs and mice... It's OK to kill ONE animal for knowledge but nowadays, every student needs to kill frogs and mice JUST TO STUDY THINGS WE ALREADY KNOW... It's just like reading a book... With a life destroyed for it... Thats why I'm not very enthusiastic about slicing up lab frogs and mice at school...
Horse racing looks humane from the outside huh??? Take a look at this, injury of a racing horse... We even made a movie of it...Racing Stripes????... The same cruelty is experienced by circus animals like monkeys, chimpanzees, whales and dolphins....
Seal Clubbing in Alaska... These cute and fluffy animals are killed for clothes... But we don't farm them...Moreover, they are killed cruelly, suffering hours of pain before death in the hands of humans...
OK.. Shark-Fin Soup is a dish without proper nutrients... Cooking up shark-fin soup is just like boiling your fingernails and hair in water...Moreover, shark fin is tastless, so MSG is needed for flavour... Thirdly, we don't farm or breed sharks and 100 million sharks are killed for fins every year which brings down to at least 2-3 sharks killed every second... When a shark is killed, the fins are cut off and the rest of the animal is thrown overboard to suffer for hours or even days...It's like cutting a cow's legs and leaving it in the field to die...

Conclusion...

We as the human race should have advanced beyond profiting from animal misery and suffering - or maybe we aren't as civilized as we claim to be.
