Why pets deserve the same care as humans

This is my speech about why pets deserve the same care as humans from term 3. Why pets deserve the same care as humans Pets all around the world are being loved, cared for and feed well. But not all animals are being treated the same. They are getting abused, killed and are begging for food. Hi I'm Poppy and today I'm talking about why pets deserve the same care as humans. Owners are taking granted for there animals not speaking. If there owners are hurting and neglecting their pets. Those animals aren't able to speak or say something. It's been estimated that there are 900 to 2,000 abused animals every year in the US. Puppy mills are large scale dog breeding operations that put profits on the health of the puppies. Many dogs with illnesses like kidney or heart disease stay in their position by their owners. Thousandddsss of greyhounds die each year some in the name of “selective breeding” before they ever touch a racetrack. Which brings me to my next point.y y Sadly, some people are unwilling or never spend the time and money to heal their sick or injured pets. About six million animals enter shelters every year. More than 50% of fur in the US comes from China, where millions of dogs and cats often have to go through traumatizing experiences, like bleeding and skin taken of them alive until they pass away. So if you wear any fur, there’s no sure way of knowing whose skin you’re in. What can you do to help. Foster or adopt an animal or pet, or fundraised for animal rights. There are many fundraisers that you can donate to help. Many different animals are used around the world for animal testing. They test to make your favourite cosmetic products, clothing items and hair dye. But the most common for testing are mice, fish, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, farm animals, birds, cats, dogs and pigs. And in some countries, monkeys and chimpanzees. They practice and test to help cure sicknesses and and desesses. But why dont they help to save our animals? Instead of listening to that depressing news, 3.2 million shelter animals are adopted each year from being homeless and neglected. That's millions of dogs, cats and more. When foster animals are adopted they know they are loved, and when you think about it you are saving a life when adopting. We are very lucky to have these animals in our home or in our lives. To protect and love us. Why does hurting these innocent pets and animals make you feel good? They are there for us so we should be too. {Pause}. I believe they should be respected as animals. They should have the right to their own freedom, their own families, and their own life. Animals should be treated the same as humans. In conlution I think animals should be treated right by being fed well, going for walks, not getting neglected or abused. All round loved and cared for. They make you smile, laugh and joyful. Thank you for listening.
