Thesis and Title: Animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect are a huge problem. In the US pet ownership has traditionally been a choice and a right of every citizen.

The ASPCA says, "Animal cruelty can be either deliberate abuse or simply the failure to take care of an animal. Either way, and whether the animal is a pet, a farm…

In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, the kindness and cruelty of humans is displayed through people like Liesel Meminger, Adolf Hitler, and Max Vandenburg. The Book Thief’s name herself doesn’t sound appealing, but Liesel truly had a heart of gold. During WWII, going to a bomb shelter was a weekly event. In this…

Activists manipulate many people to believe that any type of thing that pet owners do to their animals can be animal abuse.

Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures” (Dalai Lama XIV). This quote derived from the Dalai Lama’s point of view is similar to my own and many other people in the world. As this quote suggests, my topic is about animal rights and cruelty.
