Animal activist speaks to Briefly News about animal cruelty
Jayshri Rangasamy, an animal activist explained to Briefly News what animal cruelty is:
“Animal abuse, or cruelty, encompasses causing harm or suffering to animals through intentional actions or neglect. This includes active cruelty, such as physical abuse or forcing animals to fight, and passive cruelty, such as failing to provide essential care like food, water, shelter, or medical attention.
"Such mistreatment can occur in various environments, including homes, farms, laboratories, and entertainment industries. Recognizing and reporting signs of animal abuse is vital for protecting animal welfare. Striking a cow with your hand can be dangerous, as cows are large and powerful animals that may respond defensively, potentially causing injury. This act is considered animal abuse, as it inflicts pain and distress on the animal. It is crucial to handle cattle calmly and respectfully to ensure the safety and well-being of both animals and people.”
