..Animal Rights/Cruelty..
Our Definition of Animal Cruelty
Animal cruelty can mean hurting or doing harm to any animal or your beloved pet dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, tortoise, bird or any other animal as long as it’s alive.
Facts:
Animal cruelty happens all over the world. Its wrong and many people know about it but not enough action happening. There’s cases of cruelty all over and people don’t see it, or don’t seem to care. Cruelty to animals even takes place in the South Korean film the Isle. In the movie they skin an alive real frog, mutilate fish, also they mutilate a spider; turtle and a monkey are apparently mutilated on screen. Animal cruelty happens so often and they can’t do anything about it, its wrong.
-Canada
-Currently, animal abusers get a maximum of 6 months in jail, $2,000 in fines and a ban on owning animals for 2 years.
-Time to step to up and Steven Harper should enforce more laws because it is not right.
Many people dislike animals. They think animals are just for using them, for working, and for eating. Over the time there are more and more species in extinction and less and less people that care about animals... That’s a BIG problem. Fortunately there are still many people who love animals and have made associations to protect them.
Animal Cruelty in Malaysia
Of course almost everyone would think that they'll never hurt their very own pet. Well some people love animals so much that they treat their pets like their own child. However, some people buy dogs just for guarding purposes, giving it no love at all and mistreating it. In
You should take a look. Then click on the topic Is RM100 fine for dog abuse enough? And also, there are a lot of animal cruelty cases being discussed on most topics, so read them and be astonished. NOTE: Since this is in Malaysia
Our opinion
I personally think animals are the most exotic, fantastic, awesome, beautiful, cute, strange, extraordinary, and fabulous creatures in the world. However, I cannot understand why animal tormenters exist . I don't think animals deserve bad treatment. They need love and compassion just like we needed that when we were all babies. (Ann Nee, Malaysia
I think it is wrong to kill animals for fun like the sport of hunting, I think animals are just like humans but smaller (sometimes) they have feelings too…so why hurt them. ( Kate snow lake)
I completely agree with both of you two because animal cruelty is a horrible thing to do to such cute and important creatures that are only different to us in size and shape. Although animal cruelty is bad we must also look at the good side the following is a link to a website showing a petition to help prevent animal Cruelty in Malaysia. (Mitchell, Malaysia)
Poems
A group of small puppies slaughtered in a second
Only one saved but brought up to be a golden idol
For all those animals cruelly punished for something
Something which they did not do.
Brown white whatever colour
An animal is a soul mate
A mate to never be harmed
Sadly this is untrue
Under our noses, all the time
Puppies killed and rats tested
For what?
Well no one knows
And to tell the trough
Only a selective few care
-Mitchell in Malaysia
Unnecessary Killing
I buy some unnecessary medicine
Not realising the damage I’ve done
100 rats
Killed
Murdered
All for my well being
Selfish some say
But a guilty conscience keeps most shushed
Your family buys a new house
Not realising damage they’ve done
Removed an entire habitat for many species
For a home only made for 6.
We have a nice BBQ
Not realising the damage we’ve done
Murdered an entire pig
Removed it from its entire family
Little piglets now with no mum
Cruel
Unacceptable
Pointless these things some do
Some gamblers bet on a “Cock Fight”
Not realising the damage they’ve done
Promoting something
That actually hurts others
Why?
Just for a little bit of easy money
Think of the poor chickens
Bruised and hurt all over
Hurting where they never should
The things we do to others
We should always think about
For without thinking horrid things can happen
A few rats killed here and there
“So what?” Some say
Well what if they were taken
Hidden away from the ones they loved
Well then I would tell them
“So what!?”
-Mitchell in Malaysia
A Pet, another Soul…
A life other then ours
A Pet soul
Killed
Hurt
Like cut up paper
A futile waist
It hurts
Not just victims
But others who must see it
Feel it
Dread it
-Mitchell in Malaysia
A Fellow Life
My limbs lost
Like a building without polls
All because of what I am
Tested till my life is lost
Disappeared from my soul
Gone away with no replacement
Homeless
Sadly kicked
Discarded only for my looks
Thrown out
I am no longer a puppy
Thrown out
I managed to grow up
-Mitchell in Malaysia
Evil is in the Air
By: Ann Nee, Malaysia
Can't you hear?
Maniac laughter is floating around our atmosphere,
I see an animal lying in the middle of the laughter
Trying its best to climb the Great Wall of China that's being surrounded by careless and selfish humans,
One feels pain
While five feels pleasure,
What's happening here,
Is this the start of World War III?
Or in the middle of Man Versus Beast war?

Elaine-Hey great poems guys.i did comment but i think i forgot to save it or it didnt work sorry. my favorite is homeless and a fellow life.
which do you tink we should do for our video?
Good job Mitchell. All these poems are have a very powerful message and are very meaningful. I only have one suggestion for you. In the poem "Dead Pups", the line 'And to tell the trough', don't you mean truth instead of trough?

Nice poem Ann Nee, it really showed how the animals and us are really at war and it is kind of like us being grown ups beating up babies (being the animal).
