"Why Do People Commit Animal Abuse"

There are too many animals that are being abused, neglected, and have to be euthanized due to people whom that there only way to relieve stress is to abuse animals. I don't like seeing animals suffer due to people who commit animal cruelty and they really should find another means of relieving their stress other than using live animals. I see pictures on facebook of the types of animals that have been abused or neglected that have been done to animal cruelty. My question is the following: Why do these people own pets in the first place? There is absolutely no reason at all that these kind of people should or be allowed at all to own pets if they are going to commit animal cruelty. I would appreciate having people who loves and cares for animals to either donate at ASPCA or write a letter in order to stop animal abuse immediately.

  • People Commit Animal Abuse in order to seek revenge. This is not truly the best method to use because animals have feelings just like real human beings do.  
  •  
  • People mostly commit Animal Abuse in order to relieve stress. Since animals have no means of defending themselves. People think that it is right to apply and to turn towards animals in order to hurt them so they would feel less stressed and puts most of their anger on live animals. 

  • People should understand that this is truly not appropriate at all. In other words, this is truly WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. If people are stressed and want to relieve their anger or stress. They should use another means for doing so, but not to rely on live animals. The best method to use in order to relieve stress is to apply stress management techniques such as meditation or to make use of a punching bag which we see boxers use often. This will definitely help to relieve most of your anger issues.

  • People should understand that animals have done nothing wrong to human beings. Animals are nice pets to have and like to be around people in order to keep people company. 

  • People who do commit animal abuse should be punished by the law and should be sentenced to death. Committing animal cruelty is a huge crime. 
  •  
  • We need people who love and care for animals to identify and locate these individuals and to report animal abuse immediately.Therefore, we need a lot of support from people. This will help save the lives of animals from being euthanized, abused, neglected, and having to live in poor conditions.

"Fighting and Struggling in My Life"

-->There are many people throughout this world that have disabilities. Some became disabled due to being diabetic and resulted in amputating a leg, while veterans became disabled due to fighting in war, which also in a sense resulted in losing a part of their limbs, while others became disabled due to being in a car accident, and depending on the severity of the accident also resulted in losing a part of their limbs, while for my friend Scott he became disabled due to the number of surgeries that he had during his childhood, while for Shelby who is a friend that I met at Howard Community College became disabled due to a birth defect either at or during birth, while for Noeleen who is another friend whom I met at Howard Community College became disabled due to spina bifida, while for my friend Chris whom I also met at Howard Community College became disabled since he has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, while for me. I became disabled due to sequels of poliomyelitis which prevents me from using my limbs since this disease attacks the muscles in the right leg. Moreover, this disease does not only attack the muscles in the leg, but is considered a virus that can be easily caught by drinking from the same cup or even eating from the same plate.




  • We have to understand that life is all about fighting in order to obtain what we want. In the sense that if one doesn't do anything then one doesn't obtain anything. One also has to understand that things don't just fall from the sky, but consists of insisting until we obtain what we needed. This is very problematic especially for individuals with disabilities. Therefore, I have provided examples of situations in which I have found myself where I had to fight in order to get what I wanted.
  • Hence, we shouldn't discriminate individuals with disabilities because everybody is created equal and should be treated equally no matter what race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, among others. 
  •  
  • Some of the fights that I had due to my disability were the following: 
  •  
    1. Fighting for Reservation with HT Ride
    2. Fighting for Recertification for HT Ride
    3. Fighting with Cab Driver Concerning HT Fare
    4. Fighting with Insurance for Pairs of Shoes
    5. Fighting with SSI
    6. Fighting with MVA for Learner's Permit
    7. Fighting with HR
    8. Difficulty Finding Work
    9. Difficulty Getting Hired
