Street dogs in India

In India there are lots of dogs that roam free in the streets. The law is that no one is suppose to kill street dogs. But now there are too many street dogs in India, and no one knows how to control the population of these dogs.These dogs aren’t fed and live in the street with no one to take care of them. They eat garbage, dirty foods and scraps in the streets. These street dogs are very thin. These dogs often are sick because of living in the streets. They also get  the disease of rabies.

These dogs often have accidents with cars and get wounded. No one is there to treat their wounds.

These dogs are very dirty.

It is common to see street dogs without the tip of the ear or tail.

Often street dogs have a very sparse fur because they are sick.

Cases of street dogs I have seen:

I have seen a street dog who got a wound from the nose till the mouth (Pune).

I have seen a very very thin and sick street dog with very sparse fur in Dehli.

I have seen a dog who seems to have problem in the eye. This dog also had a very sparse coat (Pune).

My father had once gotten bitten by a street dog who had rabies (Mumbai).

I saw a street dog who had hardly any fur and was so sick. It looked as if she was a mother because later on I saw a puppy  who was same colour like her. The puppy was also very sick and had hardly and fur (Pune Station).

Street dogs really make a miserable sight.

Animals in circuses are ill-treated

Circuses do not treat animals well. Animals are forced to travel for hours in small cages where they have hardly any space to move. There are trained cruelly. Trainers make animals perform only through pain and beating. They also starve the animals and do not give them enough water.

All the natural habits of animals are denied to them in circuses. In circusses animals cannot move. The animals are caged in such small cages that they can hardly turn around in, and are chained for most of the day and night. They only exercise they get is during performences and training sesions.

In circuses animals are forced to do un-natural acts. Elephants are forced to stand on their head, chimpanzees have to ride bycicles, bears have to dance, tigers have to jump true flaming loops, elephant are forced to walk tail to trunk and female elephants have to mount each other. To make animals do this it will need extreme training, and that can mean lots of torture. Once the show is over animals are cruelly shoved back into cages or are chained. Then they are packed into trucks, and are taken to the next town.

It is discovered that trainers beat and starve the animals to make them perform tricks. Trainers keep the animals under control with electric prods and whips. A bear may have its nose broken or its paws burned to force it to stand on its hind legs. All this cruelty makes  animals mad. 

Here are some amazing facts of animal cruelty in circuses

Animals are confined in small cages barely larger then their own bodies.

It is rare animals receive proper veterinery care. Not one of India’s circuses has a vet traveling with it.

Often circuses give animals less water so that they don’t urinate when they are performing.

Diseases in circuses

Animals in circuses can have many dangerous diseases. Elephants often have tuberculosis. Often they are not treated. Often wounds are inflicted during beatings. Often circuses use soil to camuflage elephants’ wounds. And often the soil is full of germs, which means it can infect the wound.

In circuses animals also suffer from lameness and foood abscesses. It is common for an elephant to die in a circus. Elephant suffer from osteoporosis. This desease is caused due to the lack of excersise and no space to move around in.
