A NEW ANIMAL REVOLUTION


Long time ago humans approached animals in a negative manner and refereed to them as being substandard to the human race. They did not care about the animal’s welfare and their habitations. Most animals hide in fear for their lives and ran on the other direction when they saw humans. This is because they know how brutal mankind can be. Unfortunately till today animals have adapted the behavior of running away and hiding when they see humans approaching them because of the long time ago cruelty they were shown by mankind. Until this day there some people who mistreat animals and have bad motives towards them because they do not consider their feelings that they too can feel pain and mistreatment which isn’t good for their health and psychology.
Furthermore some people tend to show more care to animals that give them income. For example owners of dairy farms tend to care more for their cows by ensuring they eat well and are well looked after to avoid them from falling sick and dying because they give out produce such as milk which is of high demand in the markets and all around the world although some owners just love cows and care for them not because of the money involved.
Nowadays people have opened their eyes and most of them have a positive view towards  animals and they have realized that animals are being exploited because they cannot speak out and express their feelings therefore people have formed foundations to speak on the animals behalf by fighting for their rights which has been of much help to many species.



Many people have lots of different pets for example dogs, cats, hamsters, parrots and many more. They care for their pets and provide them with food and shelter. Also when animals fall sick they have a veterinarian who treats them and ensures that they are perfectly well and healthy. Moreover people these days give their pets a balanced diet and exercises such as taking them for a walks. This is a new animal revolution which favors animals and their welfare.
People are fighting for animal rights and most of the bad things animals went through such as being taken by force from their habitats and taken to labs and used as specimens for experiments such as cosmetics and many more have been banned and most of the Western countries have set animals laws to govern animals welfare and whoever who goes against animal rights and are found guilty will be punished by the law and can face imprisonment.
In addition due to global warming, over fishing and deforestation some animal species might become extinct. This has drawn people’s concerns and they now realized how animals are important to planet earth. Therefore most countries have come up with laws which are implemented in most places in order to avoid extinction of animals and so that the world can be a better place for animals too. Animal rights have made a positive impact on the world and this has enabled some of the animal’s species to increase in number because they feel safe.

DOMESTIC AND WILD ANIMALS


Animals are part of the world, therefore they have the right to live and adapt to their habitats. They are to live according to their natures and there not supposed to be exploited.


Some people keep domestic animals such as donkeys and oxen in order for them to get assistance. Donkeys and oxen are mostly used by many people to move objects to different locations. Moreover oxen are also used as a mode of transport. But some people end up exploiting animals which isn’t right because animals have the right to a limitation of working hours and they also get tired and have the right to have a break.
The camel is an animal used as a source of income to some people in different parts of the world such as Africa and Asia. Camels are used to take people around and the owners are paid for this service. Some tribes refer to camels as a source of transportation; they are used with people to move things as they migrate to other locations. And they are of great help to people but they are mostly over worked and treated as "working machines". 
However domestic animals such as dogs and cats are kept as pets. Most of us love them and they are dear to us. We love the thought of taking them for walks and playing catch with them. Dogs are one of the friendliest animals man loves to live with and care for.  They fill a lonely gap in a family, they are our friends and protect us, and we feel safer when we have a dog by our side or at home. 



Most people believe that a dog is a sign of protection, and they are always loyal to mankind if they are not abused or treated cruelly. Furthermore dogs decorate our environment and homes with their beauty; they are active and energetic. Most scientists and people believe that animals have their own body language in order to communicate with each other and protect each other.
They mostly live in groups of similar species and have the same characteristics. Wild animals such as Elephant, zebras, buffalo's, rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs and many more make our environment beautiful. They are unique species with extraordinary abilities. Such as the cheetah which is the fastest animal. Moreover wild animals are being hunted down and killed. People have discovered that rhino and buffalo horns are worth a lot of money therefore they are killed and their horns are taken to be sold. For example in Africa, countries such as South Africa have had poachers. This is illegal. 


It is therefore that animals are supposed to be respected and cared for. This days there foundations that look after animals ,care for them  and fight for their rights in order to avoid extinction of animals due to an increase in poaching and exploitation of animals.
We should all give animals the right to live and enjoy their surroundings because a world without animals is a dark world. Let us protect animals and fight against exploitation of animals and poaching.
