ANIMAL ABUSE
Most people find animals like dogs, cats and birds adorable and some keep them
in their homes as pets. However, there are also people who abuse animals. They
enjoy torturing helpless creatures to gain a sense of control over them. Their
pleasure is increased since these animals very often cannot do anything to defend
themselves.
Reports of animal abuse are increasing. One just has to look in the newspaper to
see the increase in the number of cases of animal abuse. What is worse is that for
every abuse case reported, there are probably many more that are not. Not long
ago, a local newspaper reported several cases of animal abuse. In one particularly
cruel case, a group of young children caught a kitten and did horrible things to it.
Not only did they tie rubber bands around the kitten but they also stapled its ears
closed just for fun. Helpless to defend itself, the kitten had to endure this cruel
torture. Apart from this case, there have also been several other cases in which
people deliberately killed animals by throwing them out of high windows or
poisoning them simply because they could not tolerate the noises the animals
made. While most of us are disgusted to see or hear about such inhumane
behavior towards animals, animal abuse is still on the rise. These animal abusers
fail to consider the needs and feelings of the animals.
In order to reduce and ultimately prevent such cases of animal abuse, the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or SPCA was set up. The organization not
only aims to prevent cruelty to animals but also cares for unwanted animals that
have been badly abused. So far, the SPCA has proven to be a haven for abused
animals. The organization also has a number of trained people to nurse injured
animals back to health.
Unfortunately, there are people who treat the SPCA as a place where they can
'discard' their unwanted pets after they get tired of them. This has led to the SPCA
being short of space and money. The organization now only takes in animals that
have been abused even though people still continue to abandon their unwanted
pets. Such animals usually make their way to residential areas to forage for food.
Much to the annoyance of residents, they make a lot of noise and loiter outside
houses or at void decks below their flats.
The SPCA has embarked on some programs to prevent animal abuse. They give
talks in schools explaining why animals should not be abused. It is only through
educating the public that animal abuse can be prevented.

ABUSO ANIMAL
La mayoría de las personas encuentran adorables animales como perros, gatos y pájaros y
algunos los mantienen en sus hogares como mascotas. Sin embargo, también hay
personas que abusan de los animales. Disfrutan torturando a las criaturas indefensas para
obtener una sensación de control sobre ellas. Su placer aumenta ya que estos animales a
menudo no pueden hacer nada para defenderse.
Los informes de maltrato animal están aumentando. Uno solo tiene que mirar en el
periódico para ver el aumento en el número de casos de maltrato animal. Lo peor es que
por cada caso de abuso reportado, probablemente hay muchos más que no lo son. No
hace mucho, un periódico local reportó varios casos de maltrato animal. En un caso
particularmente cruel, un grupo de niños pequeños atrapó un gatito y le hizo cosas
horribles. No solo ataron gomas alrededor del gatito, sino que también le engraparon las
orejas para divertirse. Incapaz de defenderse, el gatito tuvo que soportar esta cruel
tortura. Además de este caso, también ha habido varios otros casos en los que las
personas mataron deliberadamente animales arrojándolos por las ventanas altas o
envenenándolos simplemente porque no podían tolerar los ruidos que hacían los
animales. Si bien la mayoría de nosotros estamos disgustados de ver o escuchar acerca de
ese comportamiento inhumano hacia los animales, el maltrato animal sigue en aumento.
Estos abusadores de animales no tienen en cuenta las necesidades y sentimientos de los
animales.
Para reducir y, en última instancia, prevenir tales casos de maltrato animal, se creó la
Sociedad para la Prevención de la Crueldad hacia los Animales o SPCA. La organización no
solo tiene como objetivo evitar la crueldad hacia los animales, sino que también se
preocupa por los animales no deseados que han sido maltratados. Hasta ahora, el SPCA ha
demostrado ser un refugio para animales maltratados. La organización también cuenta
con una serie de personas capacitadas para que los animales heridos vuelvan a la salud.
Desafortunadamente, hay personas que tratan el SPCA como un lugar donde pueden
'descartar' a sus mascotas no deseadas después de que se cansan de ellas. Esto ha llevado
a la SPCA
falta de espacio y dinero. La organización ahora solo admite animales que han sido
maltratados a pesar de que las personas continúan abandonando a sus mascotas no
deseadas. Tales animales generalmente se dirigen a áreas residenciales para buscar
comida. Para molestia de los residentes, hacen mucho ruido y merodean fuera de las
casas o en las cubiertas vacías debajo de sus pisos.
