Task 1:
a) Pet abuse
Task 2:
2a) What do you understand from your readings regarding the issue?
a) After reading 5 articles of pet abuse, what I can understand is that human being is acting much more cruel compare to old days. Pets need love and good care from its owner, same as human being, we also need love from our parents and good cares from our parents from danger. We should spend some time to play them, feed them with nutrition food.
In these 5 articles, the owners used different types of method to abuse their pets. I felt sad for these pets and at the same time think that their owner is inhuman. They should be punished to the limit so that they will regret and won’t abuse any other innocent pets. If they don’t know how to take good care of pets, they shouldn’t have the thoughts of having of a pet at the beginning.
Pets are to be loved not to be abused. For example, most of people like to raise dogs, cats because if we treat the dog well enough, it will watch over the house from robbers and other dangers and dogs are mans best friends as dogs are loyal to its owner.
2b) Why do you think it occurs? Explain your answer.
b) In my opinion, pet abuse will occur because the abuser is lack of parents love and caring. They don’t know that pets also need love, they will abuse pets to find joy. They will feel happy while looking pets are in pain. This also show that their minds are not matured enough to take care of their pets. Some teenagers can’t even take care of themselves moreover to taking care a pet.
Most of these pet abusing case are done by teenagers, teenagers will do something like this sometimes is because they are lack of their parents concern. Some parents let their children to keep pets, but they didn’t take a look some is on how their children treat the pets, children which minds are mature enough will abuse their pets to find the enjoyment.
Furthermore, teenagers will do these type of activity is because of family problem, maybe their parents always argue an don’t care about their children, don’t take good care of them, don’t take note what they are doing at outside, this will cause their children feel lonely and start to search for fun and will have this idea of abusing pets. Besides that, family problem also will lead to mental problem of a children, they can’t think correctly and will do this type of petty crime.
2c) Explain their impacts on:
i) Society: If the abuser is not being punished, more cases will occur because they are not afraid. They will abuse more and more pets because there are no laws against them. If this type of problems continues, the society will lack of love and becoming more brutal.
The next generation may become more brutal compare to this generation because the people’s attitude from this generation is not mature enough and keep abusing pets and this kind of attitude will keep on going till the next generation as the people from this generation are not mature enough to teach the next generation. The mindset of the society will change as the newspapers are always full of pet abuse cases. Teenagers that are not mature enough will also learn and copy their activity as they think that it is very fun. They never thought of the result, what will be the punishment if they are being caught. The society will be afraid because there are too many cases, they do not dare to leave their pets alone in the house and if they bring their pets come out maybe it will be snatch and being abused.
To avoid this tragedy to happen in the future, the abuser must receive the appropriate punishment so that the abuse will afraid of the punishment and will think of the punishment.
ii) Nation: Pet abuse cases will give a very big impact to the country.Every year, there are visitors from other countries will go overseas. If the country if full of pet abuse cases, the visitors from other countries will surely think twice before deciding to visit that country that full of pet abuse case, visitors will be afraid. By this, the image of the country will drop. The country will lack of income from outside finally the economy of the country will drop and unemployment will increase.
The NGO (non-government organization) must stand up and fight for the pets. Although pets are not human, but they still have the right to live on this earth. Human beings don’t have the rights to kill the pets at their will, there must be laws against these abuser. There is always news about pet being abuse or kill no matter through websites or newspaper. The abuser that is caught or recorded will always be scolded not only by his or her country’s people but are the people from all around the world. Not only he or she will feel shy but the whole country will be shy of the abuser’s act.
To avoid this kind of tragedy, not only one side but all of us must work as a team to prevent this kind of cases. What we can do are report to the police if you saw any pet are being abuse, as parents we must guide our children to treat our pets well and many others. All these can be done if we all do it as a unity.
