Abuse in the news

  Here’s what I think if you don’t want the responsibility of feeding and taking care of an animal why get one. I mean they make great friends and they take care of you when you are sick. I mean these stories below are horrible and why would someone do that?  
 While searching animal abuse I found an article on a beautiful baby bulldog. He was found starving and barely alive on March 16, 2011.

What do you see when you look at this picture of the bull dog above? I see a sweet beautiful animal that needs a loving home and a loving family. According to foxnew.com:

Kisha Curtis, 28, was charged Friday with two counts of abandonment and two counts                of failure to provide proper sustenance to the animal, according to Matthew Stanton, a      spokesman for the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

This poor dog was found in a garbage chute the 16th of March.

This next animal is a horse we normally over look abuse to them because yo don't hear much about them more about cats and dogs. According to nytimes.com:

The next day, it nearly happened again. At virtually the same spot, another horse broke a front leg, pitching his rider headfirst into the ground. The jockey escaped serious injury, but not the 2-year-old horse, Teller All Gone. He was euthanized, and then dumped near an old toilet in a junkyard a short walk from where he had been sold at auction the previous year.

 This poor horse could have been helped and even if he could have never been raced again he still could have done something. He didn't deserve to be left be side an old toilet in a junk yard. He is not the only horse with a story like this. Many horses have been left for dead after an accident. My friend had horses and the one that she loved to death her dad saved from abuse. When they found him he was tied to a tree in a dirt patch fifteen to twenty feet away from grass and water.

People love to dye eggs right? Bright colorful eggs that you can hide and find. What about a baby chicken? While searching threw some news articles I found this really interesting. According to nytimes.com people are dyeing new born baby chickens some even before they hatch.

“You take regular food coloring and inject it into the egg on the 18th day of incubation,” said Peter R. Theer, a retired poultry rancher who lives outside Lampasas, Tex., and offers a how-to guide on his Web site. “They take 21 days to hatch. Put a little dab of wax on top to cover the hole up, and put it back in the incubator. It doesn’t hurt them, because the food coloring is perfectly safe.”

Until he closed shop in 2008, Mr. Theer sold dyed Easter chicks every year, always telling customers to bring the birds back if their children grew bored with them (which happened routinely). “We sold a lot of them,” he said. “People buy whatever is available. They’ll usually take one or two of each color, maybe 10 or 15 of them. The kids get tired of it pretty quick.”Most hatchery owners are tight-lipped about the practice. Several poultry farmers, including a few who have advertised dyed chicks for sale online, said by telephone that they no longer sold them. One farmer in Missouri, who asked that her name not be used to avoid reprisals, said she dyed chicks to sell (quietly) to the wholesale trade. “The bird’s sprayed with a fine mist,” she said. “It’s done real quickly, and the birds are put in a hatcher, where they dry off real quick. It does not hurt them at all.”Animal rights workers say that is not true, that the experience is stressful for the birds. They further object to selling animals at too young an age. The law that the Florida Legislature voted to repeal, they point out, also stipulated that chicks could not be sold or given away before they were 4 weeks old.

Why would you die a chicken? They was not put on this earth for you to die and play with and then get bored with them and take them somewhere. Even if the die don't harm these animals its still wrong. Would you like it if your parents had "die" injected into them while you was developing  so that you would be green or pink they get tired of seeing a green child and got rid of you? No you wouldn't.
