I thinks, most kids and some adults as well, adore eating chocolate. Mars, M&M’s, Snickers and other tasty things are Mars Inc products. According to the official data, while making them, test are performed on animals, actually, these tests are not required by law and what is more, better tests can be made, not so harmful to animals.

Mars Inc. likes test where mice after feeding up with candies are forced to swim in a small pool with paint and water. Their main aim, is to find a saving platform. There are a lot of tests and most of them are cruel and after each test mice are killed. So, please, let’s tell Marc Inc. once again, that it is unfair to kill mice, because of our needs! You can support animals and stop their abuse, just join the following action – Tell Chocolate-Maker Mars Inc. to Drop Deadly Animal Tests!

Hello my dear readers and, of course, guests! Today I would like to touch a very acute problem. It exists everywhere. In any country, in any part of the world. It is named: ANIMAL ABUSE. A lot of people don’t even pay attention to it, those who do pay attention, believe that a single person can do nothing. Both are wrong, because, you can start from yourself and your relatives, friends, they will tell their friends and so on… We don’t have to close our eyes, this problem can be solved, but the process of solution is long, challenging and exhausting. However the result will be amazing: animals will have an opportunity to lead normal life. Do you still remember? They are our smaller brothers and sisters, they need our help!

There are a lot kinds of animal abuses, I’ll try to count the most popular:

1. Abuse for foodWhen we catch animals, that are supposed to be free and kill them and even eat them. Most of these animals are wild ones and they have their own destination in nature, killing them, we disturb natural balance. Think about it – everything in our nature is interconnected.
2. Abuse for experimentsYeah, scientists seem to have generous aims, but to test new medicine on monkeys, rats and rabbits… it is so disgusting. I do understand, that this medicine could have helped to millions of people worldwide, but the progress doesn’t stand at one place, so why don’t create a new technique of medicine testing, without killing thousands and millions of innocent animals? I can’t stand the reality, that perfumes I have were tested on a small bird or any other animal. I hate it, may be next time I won’t buy perfumes at all or will buy fragrance that wasn’t tested on animals.

   

3. Abuse for pleasureEverybody wants to look wonderful and beautiful, so why do you think it is impossible to look amazing in a cotton, silk, lace blouse instead of a necklet, when it is 10 above zero? I mean, it is no use to kill animals for fur, because of your whim (unfortunately, to some people it is a necessity – they live in very cold natural conditions. Sometimes 40 degrees below zero!)
4. Unintentional abuseI imply, worsening of natural conditions: deforestation, environmental pollution etc. It leads to animals death, sometimes even extinction.

   

5. ABUSE FOR CURIOSITYAs for me it the worthiest and the most stupid type of abuse! To hold animals in capture! Such animals as tarsiers even can commit a suicide! They can’t stand such conditions of living. Mostly, I am talking about zoos. Yeah, I perfectly understand, that it is a rather tricky question, but as for me, the image of those unhappy, dirty and poor animals in cages is unbearable. Keeping them in captivity we make happy only some people, who visit a zoo like an amusement park and don’t even think, how poor animals feel themselves. So, zoos are made for educational and research purposes and also to satisfy public requirements. Zoos are attempt to create natural habitat conditions to animals, thus, making them feel more relaxed, comfortable and happy and to give audience an overview about their living places. Special conditions are created for nocturnal animals.

   The picture tends to be completely idealistic! But, I don’t believe it, because animals are kept in captivity (against their own decision) and pay attention, I am not talking about animals that were bred in artificial conditions! They used to live in such a way, they don’t know another life and will for sure die in the wild. I think in zoos, animals show the whole indicators of stress: they are constantly swaying, going from side to side, sometimes don’t want eating. Very often conditions in zoos are awful and the food – inappropriate. I suppose, animals can be kept in captivity, only in cases, when they are endangered or there is no other way to help them survive. But even in such situations they must be kept only in special non-profit zoos (such as: National Parks, wild animal parks, animal theme parks, public aquaria).

Moreover, I think people must not only talk about animals and say, that they do feel sorry, because it is really easy to criticize others, we have to do something, for example, not to hurt our own animals, to protect them, to reprimand those, injuring animals and pets and to donate money into special organizations, which can make life of poor animals better. Who knows, may be your example will encourage other people to do the same. Thus, you will for sure help to prevent cruelty against animals. You don’t know what exactly to do?

No doubts, one swallow does not make a summer, but it remind and tells everybody, that it is already time to greet the spring and our World is changing for better…
