Amy Instagram – In India, while over 60 million dogs struggle on the streets, our obsession with purebred pets fuels a cruel industry that forces countless animals into existence just to meet demand.
Puppy mills, largely unregulated, are rife with abuse: dogs are crammed into filthy, overcrowded cages, enduring malnutrition and disease, with breeding females exploited until they’re abandoned or killed. The puppies sold from these mills often suffer from genetic disorders and behavioral problems due to poor breeding practices.
Organizations like @pfa.official and @hsiglobal @hsi_india fight to raise awareness and improve laws, but our society’s lack of compassion and regulation perpetuates this cycle of suffering. These animals—kept in unbearable, confined conditions, often going insane from neglect—are not products; they are living beings.
This one tortoise I met, was obviously going insane. No social interaction, nowhere to go. Confined – until some dumb person buys him.
Animals are not objects. They are individuals. We have the ability for moral and rational thought; and as such; as a species we need to be better. We are no longer a primitive species, so we need to stop acting like it. | Posted on 10/Nov/2024 13:41:36
