Posts Tagged ‘Cruelty’

Here at TWS we rescue cats from all walks of life. About 75% of our exotic cats and hybrids come from private owners. Whether the owner starts with good intentions or cruel ones, exotic animals kept as “pets” are typically abused, harassed and kept in substandard living conditions. Only professionally operated facilities can provide the levels of care and safety these animals require. By outlawing private ownership of exotic species, we can prevent the unethical and cruel treatment of exotic animals held captive as “pets” while also preventing future public safety risks.

THIS VIDEO REFERS TO UNITED STATES AND ONLY UNITED STATES, FACTS ARE BASED ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

These are some images of abused animals. Abusing animals is inhuman, and this should be stoped, animals have lives too, not just us. We’re treating these animals like toys, thsi has to stop. So here in the comments section, sign your name to abolish anumal abuse.

Here are 5 facts about animal cruelty:

In many circuses, wild and exotic animals are trained through the use of intimidation and physical abuse. Former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten, whipped, poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines!

Elephants who perform in circuses are often kept in chains for as long as 23 hours a day from the time they are babies.

More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used in research every year.

Scientists estimate that 100 species go extinct every day! That’s about one species every 15 minutes.

If you live in Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Rhode Island, Illinois, Virginia, Oregon, New York, New Jersey and Vermont you have the legal right to refuse to participate in dissection in class! In Louisiana, there is a State resolution and in Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland and New Mexico, there are Departments of Education resolutions in place that allow you to refuse to dissect, although it hasnt yet become a law.

The animal rights group PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) goes undercover at an Animal Sanctuary known as GW Exotic who apparently love and care for their animals very much???

There are many terrific animal sanctuaries that don’t at all treat their animals in disgusting and apathetic ways such as the ones depicted in this video.

One such sanctuary; is the wonderful Big Cat Rescue who don’t abuse or exploit their cats and focus on legitimacy educating people about their plight and how we can help save and conserve them.

Sanctuaries like Big Cat Rescue are the ones to get behind and support and not ones like these.

If you ever see deplorable conditions and treatment of animals at animal sanctuaries or parks, please report it to your local animal rights group or Humane Society and help expose these people and stop their careless treatment of animals that give the legitimate animal parks a bad name.

Thank You

This is a remake of one of my older videos. Learn about the cruelties that shroud exotic animal ownership. Exotic animal ownership in no way helps to save animals, as many owners will argue. Owning an animal that should be free doesn’t constitute as conservation, and is truly of no value to the species. Others argue that the animals have never seen freedom, so how could they miss it? That statement clearly shows that they, to some degree acknowledge life is better for the animals in the wild. And true, an animal may not have experienced freedom. That does not mean it will live a happy life in captivity. The argument against exotic pet ownership is backed by facts, and many of the world’s renowned animal supporters and activists.

Please spread the word with me, as so many people still do not know about this. Tell people you know, and boycott places that support the selling or buying of exotic animals as pets. Anything you do can make a difference- set up awareness events, contact your local media station to do an investigation, perhaps of a local breeder or auction. Create and share videos that highlight the truth.

Many pet stores actually sell tiger cubs to people. This in itself should be a crime. Especially when you know how those animals get to the pet stores in the first place…

There is also no such thing as a “responsible” breeder of wild animals. No animal should be born for a life in a cage, especially with the ever climbing number of exotic animals without homes. Many will end up in roadside zoos and menageries, where they will be bred for their cubs, until their use is up. Why create more tigers and other animals when so many need help? It’s a parallel to the pet overpopulation crisis.

We need to support real conservation efforts- not backyard breeders who claim to be helping by giving cubs to anyone who asks, or those who auction the cubs to the highest bidder. No animals are being saved here. But thousands are being hurt and thrown into deplorable situations.

While this video uses solely images of exotic cats, be aware that these facts ring true for the other exotic animals- including but not limited to wolves, bears, and any hybrid animals as well.

These animals need better laws. Please contact your State Legislature and urge for better laws protecting exotic animals kept as pets.
