Cruelty to Animals | Animals Are Not Ours to Abuse | PETA UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Every day, countless cats, dogs and other animals suffer and die at the hands of the very people who are supposed to care for and protect them.

All sources of information that I have included in Task 1A discuss the topic of animal cruelty and abuse. I have included 6 different links to support my work and they all link together in the sense that they all speak about animals being treated poorly.

The first link I included is from PETA UK, discussing animal hoarders in the UK.  Research in psychology and criminology shows that animal abusers tend to repeat their crimes as well as commit similar offences against members of their own species. This phenomenon is known to law-enforcement and humane professionals as “the link”. This refers to the cycle of violence and how it repeats itself. The RSPCA found that cruelty to animals was present in 20% of their high-risk assessments.

The second link was from a BBC news article posted this year in August. Animal cruelty is on a ‘sharp rise’. The RSPCA said that they had reports of animal abuse coming in every 5 minutes in summer. The RSPCA said reports of animal abuse in Bristol were up by 11.27% this year, with Wiltshire and Somerset also seeing an increase of 13.7% and 10.3%.

The third link I used is a report from Animal Aid, posted September 2024. They said that 2,477 dogs, 1,923,424 mice, 147,196 rats, 8,933 rabbits, 64 horses and 1,815 non-human primates went through different kinds of experiments. Sadly, most of these animals, after going through terrible lab tests, were eventually killed so their organs could be taken. This article is reliable as it was posted this year and includes numerous different facts and statistics.

The fourth link is by The Guardian. This report mentions the rising rates of animal abuse in the UK this year. They say that ‘animal abuse is being fueled by social media, with people sharing videos and photos of dead and injured wildlife and pets’. They say that there was a 23% increase in attacks on animals using weapons such as air guns, slingshots and catapults. This changed from 300 in 2022 to 370 in 2024. This report is relevant to my work because it was posted this year.

Almost all of these websites included information on how we can decrease the rates of animal abuse in the UK and solutions to animal abuse. I tried to make sure that all these links weren't too old and therefore ensured that all information was relevant too me.
