When animals are treated with cruelty, neglect, or abuse, they experience the same anguish, suffering, and sentiments as humans do. Animal cruelty is a heinous act that can cause considerable injury, if not death, to helpless animals. Animal cruelty may occur not just when a pet is beaten or assaulted by its owner, but also during animal testing. Some pet owners are oblivious to the fact that they are abusing and neglecting their animals. The majority of the time, however, it is the owners who are abusing and starving the animals. It is our responsibility to raise awareness and assist animals. All living beings have the right to exist on our planet, but because animals cannot communicate in human language, we grow oblivious to their suffering. They do not have a voice in the same way that we do. It's time to take a stance and make a difference. “Be the voice they wish they had, make the choice they wish they could.”
