Just as a human's past shapes who they are today, every animal also has their own past that has led them to be the animal that they are. Human actions have had a significant impact to determine an animal's future behavior. These animals do not choose to be a science experiment, a punching bag, or even a pest that is taking up space in the corner. They are forced to wear these labels, until someone saves them. In society today, the use of animals in science is more well known. There are a lot of people that do not support this and are trying to do something to change it. People are also realizing that these animal entertainment parks they once loved so much are not what they thought they were. They can see that the animals are not happy being used for entertainment and that the owners do not treat them in the way they should be treated. More people are realizing the real value and significance of animals, and are treating them in the way that they should be treated. To animals, their owner is their best friend. They are unconditionally devoted to him or her. No matter what, they will always be happy to see you. For an animal to give this much love and affection to a human, people should never even consider abusing them. Shelters like The Animal Welfare League and The Wayne County Humane Society know how to treat animals in the way that they devote their time and show them love. They know that they deserve the same love and care that a human would show another human. Animal cruelty should become a thing of the past, and treating animals with love and respect should be the present and future.
