The news article which I read online dated 21 November 2010 was about an animal abuse. It says about a woman who was filmed sitting on a bunny and crushing it to death to kill other bunnies, with the help of her girlfriends. For example, one woman was seen placing a bunny beneath a piece of glass and sitting on the glass, crushing the poor animal to death, as her two girlfriends laughed.
After reading this article, I felt disgusted by their actions. Nowadays, I feel that people do not have much compassion for animals. When they are irritated by actions done by the pet, they start to relieve their anger by abusing it. This is why the number of cases of animal abuse is arising.
The abuse may be done either by the pet owner or just any people to a stray cat/dog. Sometimes, it may be due to some actions done by the pet that irritates the owner, for example peeing on the ground or scratching on to his furniture for repeated number of times that the owner is now irritated and annoyed by its actions. This is when the pet owner abuses his pet like perhaps taking a broom to hit it or using hot water to pour over it. To him, he may think that he is educating his pet the right things. But in actual fact, it will cause the pet to cower away from the owner. A stray pet may also irritate a stranger when for instance, it happens to block his path by accidental. If the person has a fury temper and dislikes animals, the animal is in trouble. For example, there was once an article showing how a woman killed a cat using her heels which break off its head. This is one of the worse acts that a person has the heart to do something to a cat.
Hence, I feel that in order to stop these cases from happening, if anyone who knows or happen to see someone who is abusing an animal, stop the person immediately instead of acting as if you never saw anything. Think of the pet who is suffering right now. You will regret it if you happen to see that on the following day, the newspaper headlines show that the animal broke its head or whatsoever. Also, government should not be lenient to these abusers and let them off easily. They should have more television advertisements to remind people to be mindful of their actions and the consequences.
