ANIMAL RIGHTS IN 2009 - NOT FAR ENOUGH

In a world currently driven into recession and economical failure in 2009, we are undoubtedly going to see more animal cruelty, more animals being mistreated and more unnecessary furs, pelts and murder on the black market. The question why is raised, and the answer is simply because human greed always prevails over the needs of other creatures in need. To say that animal rights have gone too far in this day and age is simply outrageous, they have not gone far enough! Baby seals are still being clubbed for fun and profit, dogs are still being shot in the street and monkeys are still being tortured and tested on. Bear bating is still a common sight as is bull fighting, all of which require an animal starved, beaten and kept in a small confined space, chained and left alone.

Does this sound like Animal Rights have had an effect? No. Definitely not! Not enough is being done to give animals the rights they deserve. Not even half enough, and something needs to be done about it, WE as human beings need to be the voice of reason for the poor creatures suffering in the world. Animal Rights need to go MUCH further to end the unnecessary suffering of animals.

Animals were on this Earth long before Human Life even arrived, and we as civilized and the seemingly 'elite' of the species on this planet should respect that and give the animals the rights they require to live as nature intended.

Does a baby seal have a say before it is clubbed to death for a sadistic human sport? Does a Whale have a say before it gets harpooned and decimated before being abandoned on a nearby shore? Does a Mother Elephant have a say why poachers kill it and steal it's tusks why her then helpless baby watches the whole thing, has nowhere to go and no means to survive? They certainly do not.

The animals killed by our fellow human beings, whether it be for sport or money, is just a complete disgrace and absolutely unnecessary. If you think about it, it all revolves around MONEY in one way or another. Poachers kill animals for fur, pelt, tusk, and other things which they can sell for profit. Do they know the damage they are doing to the natural environment, and the species of the animal in general? Many species of animal are becoming endangered, critically endangered and soon to be extinct for a majority of reasons, all of which relate to wrong-doing by human kind.

Whether it be poaching or cutting down the forests, these reasons are all man-made, and all of them
