Lots of people think that animal abuse is just when their owners hit them or starve them, but there are other ways of abuse that people don’t think about.
The wild animals are losing wild spaces, they are left roaming the streets for food. They often get too close to people, so they get shot anyway.
People make problems for the pets they love, for instance, with indoor cats they don’t get to go outside, or if they do they are enclosed or on a leash. That abuses them by not letting them run around.
With outdoor cats they get to go outside, but they kill on average five birds a day, leaving lots of fledglings without parents.
Dogs get bought by people who can’t physically take them for walks. They also get bought by old people who die and leave the dogs without family, people beat them or they live their lives in stores.
Fish normally live in oceans, lakes and rivers, so when they get put in fish tanks it’s like taking away most of their world.
Same thing with hamsters, they came from the desert. They got taken out of their home and put in little cages.
Zoos are nice to look at, but have you ever thought of how the animals must feel? Their entire lives they’ve been put in a cage and been looked at.
So the next time you feed your fish think of how they have to live and how small their world is.
