Sometimes I think; what’s wrong with the mankind? Why some people abuse animals just for fun? Why can’t they see that animals have feelings like I do? Well, the answer can be said with one word; CHILDHOOD. Now you may think, why childhood?
In the childhood is where you learn to respect, when you’re taught what is wrong and what is right. Of course that not everyone can have a dog or a cat but everyone can visit animals with their kids regularly. Getting your kids close to the animal world will make sure that they grow up with the knowledge that the animals have feelings and that they must be treated with respect.
Why is this important?
You may think that’s not important for you if your kids respect animals or not, but according several studies the people that have abused in some time of their life of any animal has a very high chance of abusing people in a future.
Day by day the laws are getting harder against animal abusers. Yet we have to work harder to stop the hunts (how can anyone find funny killing an animal?)
In Spain we say bullfights is an art, that’s a part of our culture. I hope you can see how ridiculous are these words like I do. We usually believe that bulls are a very dangerous animals, very brave, very aggressive… But this is not true, they are a very peaceful creatures and only aggressive if provoked.
How can anyone see art on killing an animal slowly? They will say that is the Bull against the man, well ladies and gentleman, they gave no other choice to the bull but to fight. The bull only wants to live his life in peace.
So, what are your thoughts?

Animal abusing also prevails in my country. The donkeys can be commonly seen dragging heavy iron rods. They are sometimes too heavy to draw even by two donkeys at a time. But it is bread earning of the donkey cart owner.
i agree with your opinion,because bull are also living creatures,and i think so bulls should not be created that way,goverment should establish law to protect animal from being hurt. bulls have the right to continue living.we should respect their right.
Hola Zinnia! Como estas senorita? Primero, keiro ser to amigo, I like animals but I do not like cats. They give me the creeps. I told my Malay teacher who commented on this blog before me that I did not like cats.
Like you said, how can a bullfight is an art? People can claim that it has been there for hundreds of years, but that doesn't make it right even for a second. Two wrongs didn't make it right. It's high time someone should say something about this. Animal fightings, be it bullfighting, cock fighting or anything else, should be banned and can't be tolerated.
Zinnia, wow a great topic.
Yes, animals are individuums with their very own feelings and emotions. But understand animals is like learning another language. You need to be smart do get their thoughts.
