Animal Cruetly Laws Biography
Why Should Animal Cruelty Laws Pertain To Farm Animals?
In our childhood years, we were brought up with being taught about farmed animals. When it came to learning the basics, such as the names of our animals and what sounds they make, farmed animals are what we automatically responded with. As soon as we got older we became less familiar and careless about these farmed animals. In society today, when it comes to animal cruelty, we often just think of our basic animals such as “dogs and cats”, but what about chickens, sheep, pigs and cows? ( Premise 1) Whereas, we often tend to forget that these farmed animals are some of our most important animals living today.
Some of the laws we have today that protect our animals against cruelty are The Animal Welfare Act and The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. Yes these acts protect animals such as dogs, cats, and rabbits from animal cruelty but sadly these acts don’t include farmed animals. (Premise 2) Given that farmed animals are animals, they should be protected from animal cruelty with these acts. Since society wants inexpensive meat, eggs, and dairy, these farmed animals are treated as objects instead of individuals. If we watch television shows such as “Animal Cops”, we are well familiar with the animal cruelty of dogs and cats that is taking place in society today but, we don’t know of the cruel and deadly actions that are taking place on factory farms across the world. The ASPCA sends someone to arrest a person for killing their pet rabbit when in reality there are large amounts of torture of cows, sheep, chickens and pigs. People get arrested for kicking a dog, yet no one is being punished for castrating piglets and cutting cow’s necks. Why should animal cruelty laws pertain to farmed animals? Every day while dogs are safe, warm, and well fed in their owner’s homes, it’s a completely different story for farmed animals. Animal cruelty laws should

Hi Fans, I would like to throw my support behind the Nova Scotia SPCA’s Animal Cruelty Awareness Month. Here’s some information about their campaign:
October is Animal Cruelty Awareness Month
Nova Scotia (October 3, 2012) –– The Nova Scotia SPCA has earmarked October as Animal Cruelty Awareness Month to generate awareness and support for their lifesaving work in humane education, animal protection and cruelty prevention. The Nova Scotia SPCA is the only animal welfare organization in Nova Scotia with the mandate to enforce animal cruelty laws. To support the awareness campaign, the Nova Scotia SPCA has submitted a request to the Provincial Government to officially proclaim October as “Animal Cruelty Awareness Month” in Nova Scotia.
“Cruelty investigations have increased by 8% this year over last year,” said Chief Provincial Inspector, Neil Fraser. Fraser added that “animal intake is also on the rise by 16% and that the biggest trend is neglect followed by abandoned animals and abuse.” The Society has a 100% conviction rate.
The Nova Scotia SPCA receives approximately 18,000 calls annually regarding animal welfare and cruelty investigations. The Society relies on donations to support its legislated mandate and receives no core funding, save $3,000 from the Department of Agriculture annually.
Each inspector manages over 500 active files yearly. Stacked up against the next most efficient provincial SPCA polled, the Nova Scotia SPCA was found to be 63% more efficient with investigator costs. The Nova Scotia SPCA is also 93% more efficient than their counterparts in the Department of Agriculture who manage farm animal welfare for the province. Last year, the Society saved 8,005 animals through cruelty investigations and intake and adoption services.
To report animal cruelty call 1-888-703-7722. To make a donation to support the Society’s lifesaving work or to learn more about how to get involved, please visit, www.spcans.ca

One of the weakest states for anti-cruelty laws is North Dakota, and unfortunately, it appears that it will stay that way for the time being.
Despite an effort to change the status quo in North Dakota, on Tuesday, voters defeated a measure which would have made animal cruelty a felony.
Specifically, the measure would have made it a class C felony “to maliciously and intentionally harm a living dog, cat or horse.”
According to Wednesday's Associated Press, had the measure passed, individuals convicted of animal cruelty would have faced up to five years in prison and fines of $5,000.
Efforts to defeat the proposed law were headed up by two sizable farm groups in the state who claimed that the law was "poorly worded and vague."
Those fighting to see a change in the laws are continuing to push forward. Follow their efforts at this link to Facebook.
