Youth Article: Animal Cruelty
of feeling pain as humans are. Shouldn't we have identical laws to protect the helpless animals from the tyranny and cruelty of human beings? To defenders of animal rights, the fact that animals can't speak for themselves is all the reason why we should act in their best interests.
After so many years, we have begun to take action to preserve the remaining wildlife. There are now organization groups that are against the use of experimental tools. Laboratories have banned the use of testing products. People are now listening to the viewpoints of the vegetar ians. There are now wildlife preserves all over the world. We are discouraging fur trade with other countries, but not fully. Now, we are hoping to end extinction of species and hope for the growth of all animals.
Remember, what your acts are toward animals can spell the difference between SURVIVAL and EXTINCTION.
"IF WE CANNOT END NOW OUR DIFFERENCES, AT LEAST WE CAN MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DIVERSITY"
