The shocking number of animal cruelty cases reported every day is just the tip of the iceberg-most cases are never reported. Unlike violent crimes against people, cases of animal abuse are not compiled by state or federal agencies, making it difficult to calculate just how common they are. However, we can use the information that is available to try to understand and prevent cases of abuse.

Who abuses animals?

Cruelty and neglect cross all social and economic boundaries and media reports suggest that animal abuse is common in both rural and urban areas.

Intentional cruelty to animals is strongly correlated with other crimes, including violence against people.

Hoarding behavior often victimizes animals. Sufferers of a hoarding disorder may impose severe neglect on animals by housing far more than they are able to adequately take care of. Serious animal neglect (such as hoarding) is often an indicator of people in need of social or mental health services.

Surveys suggest that those who intentionally abuse animals are predominantly men under 30, while those involved in animal hoarding are more likely to be women over 60.

Most common victims

The animals whose abuse is most often reported are dogs, cats, horses and livestock. Undercover investigations have revealed that animal abuse abounds in the factory farm industry. But because of the weak protections afforded to livestock under state cruelty laws, only the most shocking cases are reported, and few are ever prosecuted.

Organized cruelty

Dogfighting, cockfighting and other forms of organized animal cruelty go hand in hand with other crimes, and continues in many areas of the United States due to public corruption.

The HSUS documented uniformed police officers at a cockfighting pit in Kentucky.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has prosecuted multiple cases where drug cartels were running narcotics through cockfighting and dogfighting operations.

Dozens of homicides have occurred at cockfights and dogfights.

A California man was killed in a disagreement about a $10 cockfight bet.

The HSUS's investigative team combats complacent public officials and has worked with the FBI on public corruption cases in Tennessee and Virginia. In both instances, law enforcement officers were indicted and convicted.

Correlation with domestic violence

Data on domestic violence and child abuse cases reveal that a staggering number of animals are targeted by those who abuse their children or spouses.

There are approximately 70 million pet dogs and 74.1 million pet cats in the U.S. where 20 men and women are assaulted per minute (an average of around 10 million a year).

In one survey, 71 % of domestic violence victims reported that their abuser also targeted pets.

In one study of families under investigation for suspected child abuse, researchers found that pet abuse had occurred in 88 % of the families under supervision for physical abuse of their children.

To put a stop to this pattern of violence, the Humane Society Legislative Fund supported the Pets and Women's Safety (PAWS) Act, introduced to Congress in 2015 as H.R. 1258 and S.B. 1559 and enacted as part of the farm bill passed by Congress and signed by President Trump in 2018. Once fully enacted, the PAWS Act helps victims of domestic abuse find the means to escape their abusers while keeping their companion animals safe-many victims remain in abusive households for fear of their pets' safety.

State legislative trends

The HSUS has long led the push for stronger animal cruelty laws and provides training for law officials to detect and prosecute these crimes. With South Dakota joining the fight in March of 2014, animal cruelty laws now include felony provisions in all 50 states.

First vs. subsequent offense

Given that a fraction of animal cruelty acts are reported or successfully prosecuted, we are committed to supporting felony convictions in cases of severe cruelty.

49 states have laws to provide felony penalties for animal torture on the first offense.

Only Iowa doesn't have such a law.

Animal cruelty laws typically cover intentional and egregious animal neglect and abuse.

Changes in federal tracking

On January 1, 2016, the FBI added cruelty to animals as a category in the Uniform Crime Report, a nationwide crime reporting system commonly used in homicide investigations. While only about a third of U.S. communities currently participate in the system, the data generated will help create a clearer picture of animal abuse and guide strategies for intervention and enforcement. Data collection covers four categories: simple/gross neglect, intentional abuse and torture, organized abuse (such as dogfighting and cockfighting) and animal sexual abuse.

Fin de la pobreza 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 ODS 1 🌍 Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible para niños

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NUEVA YORK, 17 de enero de 2023 - Los niños de los hogares más pobres son los que menos se benefician de la financiación nacional destinada a la educación pública, según afirma UNICEF en un nuevo informe publicado hoy. La organización pide también que se realice una inversión adicional y más equitativa para sacar a millones de niños y niñas de la crisis del aprendizaje.

El informe, titulado Transforming Education with Equitable Financing (Transformar la educación mediante una financiación equitativa), señala que, como término medio, el quintil de alumnos más pobres solo se beneficia del 16% de la financiación pública destinada a la educación, en comparación con el quintil más rico, que se beneficia del 28%. Entre los países de ingresos bajos, solo el 11% de la financiación pública para la educación se dedica a los alumnos más pobres, mientras que el 42% se dedica a los más ricos.

"No estamos cumpliendo nuestras obligaciones para con la infancia. Hay demasiados sistemas educativos en el mundo que invierten lo mínimo en los niños y niñas que más lo necesitan", declaró Catherine Russell, Directora Ejecutiva de UNICEF. "Invertir en la educación de los niños y niñas más pobres es la forma más rentable de garantizar el futuro de los niños, las comunidades y los países. El verdadero progreso solo puede llegar cuando invertimos en todos los niños y niñas, en todas partes".

El informe examina los datos sobre el gasto público para la enseñanza preescolar, primaria, secundaria y superior de 102 países. El estudio concluye que un aumento de un punto porcentual en la asignación de recursos públicos dedicados a la educación del 20% más pobre podría sacar de la pobreza del aprendizaje a 35 millones de niños en edad de asistir a la escuela primaria. A escala mundial, el estudio señala que es más probable que el gasto público para la educación llegue a los alumnos de los hogares más ricos tanto en los países de ingresos bajos como en los de ingresos medios.

La brecha es más pronunciada entre los países de ingresos bajos. Varios ejemplos muestran que los alumnos de los hogares más ricos se benefician de una financiación pública para la educación seis veces superior a la de los más pobres. Mientras tanto, en los países de ingresos medios, los alumnos más ricos de lugares como Côte d'Ivoire y Senegal reciben alrededor de cuatro veces más fondos públicos para la educación que los más pobres. Aunque la diferencia es menor en los países de ingresos altos, donde los más ricos suelen recibir entre 1,1 y 1,6 veces más fondos públicos que los más pobres, en Francia y Uruguay la diferencia es mayor.

Según el informe, los niños que viven en la pobreza tienen menos probabilidades de acceder a la escuela y la abandonan antes. Además, los niños de los hogares pobres están menos representados en los niveles superiores de la enseñanza, que reciben una cantidad mucho mayor de fondos públicos per cápita para la educación. También tienen más probabilidades de vivir en zonas remotas y rurales que, por lo general, no cuentan con suficientes servicios y se encuentran en el extremo más desfavorecido de la brecha digital.

Incluso antes de la pandemia de COVID-19, los sistemas educativos de todo el mundo no cumplían plenamente sus objetivos para con los niños, ya que cientos de millones de estudiantes asistían a la escuela pero no dominaban las competencias básicas de lectura y matemáticas. Según estimaciones recientes, dos terceras partes de los niños de 10 años de todo el mundo no pueden leer ni comprender un cuento sencillo.

Según el informe, una medida fundamental para hacer frente a la crisis del aprendizaje es que los gobiernos proporcionen una financiación equitativa y den prioridad a los recursos destinados a la educación pública, entre otras cosas centrándose cada vez más en el aprendizaje básico. Esto supone garantizar que la financiación pública para la educación preescolar y primaria llegue a todos y prestar especial atención a los pobres y marginados en los niveles superiores de la enseñanza.

Estas son otras conclusiones del informe:

En la última década, el gasto público en educación ha sido más equitativo en el 60% de los países sobre los que se dispone de datos.

Sin embargo, casi el 30% de los países destinan menos del 15% de los recursos de la educación pública a los alumnos de los hogares más pobres. Entre los países de ingresos bajos, este porcentaje es alarmantemente elevado, ya que alcanza el 80% de los países.

En 1 de cada 10 países, los alumnos de los hogares más ricos reciben cuatro o más veces los fondos del gasto público en educación, en comparación con los alumnos de los hogares más pobres.

Los llamamientos en favor de la educación en situaciones de emergencia suelen recibir solo entre el 10% y el 30% de las cantidades necesarias, con importantes disparidades entre países y regiones.

Es necesario tomar medidas urgentes para garantizar que los recursos destinados a la educación lleguen a todos los alumnos. En el informe se formulan cuatro recomendaciones fundamentales: desbloquear fondos públicos para la educación con el fin de promover la equidad; dar prioridad a la financiación pública del aprendizaje básico; monitorear y garantizar una asignación equitativa de la ayuda a la educación en contextos humanitarios y de desarrollo; e invertir en modalidades innovadoras para impartir educación.

7 Reasons to Be Smoke-Free

Most people don't smoke. From yellow teeth to coughing, here are seven reasons why that's a good thing.

Thirdhand Smoke

When people smoke, it creates smoke that you can see (secondhand smoke) and a kind of air pollution that you can't see that's called thirdhand smoke.

Most middle school students don't smoke - only about 1 in 50 does. And most high school students don't smoke either - about 9 in 100 do.

But why do those who smoke ever begin?

There's more than just one answer. Some kids may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something dangerous - something grownups don't want them to do. Still others might know lots of people who smoke and they might think it's a way to act or look like an adult.

Fortunately, fewer people are starting smoking than a few years ago. Maybe that's because more and more people have learned that smoking and tobacco use can cause cancer and heart disease.

But sometimes kids can't really think that far into the future to worry about an illness they might not get for many years.

So let's talk about the problems that might affect kids more quickly:

yellow teeth

smelly clothes

more colds and coughs

difficulty keeping up with friends when playing sports

empty wallet - cigarettes and tobacco products are very expensive!

Let's find out more about cigarettes and tobacco.

p

What Are Smoking and Smokeless Tobacco?

Tobacco (say: tuh-BA-ko) is a plant that can be smoked in cigarettes, pipes, or cigars. It's the same plant that's in smokeless tobacco, known as dip, chew, snuff, spit, or chewing tobacco. Smokeless tobacco is not lit or inhaled like tobacco in cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Instead, smokeless tobacco is put between the lip and gum and sucked on inside the mouth.

Tobacco contains nicotine (say: NIH-kuh-teen), a chemical that causes a tingly or pleasant feeling - but that feeling only lasts for a little while. Nicotine is also addictive (say: uh-DIK-tiv). That means that if you start to use nicotine, your body and mind will become so used to it that you'll need to have it just to feel OK.

Anyone who starts smoking could become addicted to it. If you're addicted to something, it's very hard to stop doing it, even if you want to. Some kids get addicted right away. And adults are often addicted, which is why so many of them have a hard time quitting smoking.

Why Is It So Bad for You?

Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco kill hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. In fact, each day 1300 people die from smoking alone.

The nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If you smoke, you hurt your lungs and heart each time you light up. It also can make it more difficult for blood to move around in the body, so smokers may feel tired and cranky. The longer you smoke, the worse the damage becomes.

p

The Other Cost of Smoking

Using tobacco eats up a lot of money, too. A pack of cigarettes costs about $6, on average. That means, even if you buy just one pack a week, you'll spend $312 in a year. Some people smoke a pack a day, which adds up to $2,190! That's a lot of computer games and clothes you could buy instead.

What's It Like?

Usually, people don't like smoking or chewing tobacco at first. Your body is smart, and it knows when it's being poisoned. When people try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burning in their throat and lungs. This is your lungs' way of trying to protect you and tell you to keep them smoke free.

Also, many people say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up. If someone accidentally swallows chewing tobacco, they may be sick for hours. Yuck.

What if My Friend Smokes?

If you have friends who smoke or use tobacco, you can help them by encouraging them to quit. Here are some reasons you can mention:

It will hurt their health.

It will make their breath stinky.

It will turn their teeth yellow.

It will give them less endurance when running or playing sports.

It's expensive.

It's illegal to buy cigarettes when you're underage.

If you think it will help, you could print out articles like this one to give to a friend who smokes. He or she may be interested in learning more about the dangers of smoking.

But people don't like to hear that they're doing something wrong, so your pal also could be a little angry. If that happens, don't push it too much. In time, your friend may realize you are right.

In the meantime, it could help to talk with a parent or a school counselor if you're worried about your friend. When your friend is ready, a grownup can help him or her quit for good. If your friend decides to quit, lend your support. You might say it's time to kick some butts!
