By
their very nature animal
should be protected from human abuse and
mistreatment. Never should humans
deliberately cause harm to any living
creature. Granted they are both vital to our
psychological wellbeing health and food supply, but we should never
permit them to suffer needless pain and
death for our greed amusement or pleasure.
They deserve our respect and protection. Laws,
regulations and policies should be enacted,
enforced and utilized to protect them from
some hostile forms of our inhumanity and greed!
Pets should be respected, loved
and provided with dignity as any member of a
household should rightfully be given. Pet
adoption and veterinarian care should also
be done with the goal of proving the
animal with love, security and well being.
The process of generating animal food and
supplies should be respective in a dignified
and pain free method as humanly possible.
Hunting and fishing should be done in such a
way as avoid crudity, pain and the
possibility of extinction.
