FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

1. For entertainment people will do just about anything even hurt a innocent animal like for example “former circus employees have reported seeing animals beaten, whipped, poked with sharp objects and even burned to force them to learn their routines!”
2. Its so sad to know that “more than 25 million vertebrate animals are used in testing in the United States each year” and these animals don’t deserve to live this way, no life should.
3. Though people are entertained and consider it a sport “dog fighting and cock-fighting are illegal in all 50 states.”
4. There are many types of abuse but “neglect and abandonment are the most common forms of companion animal abuse in the United States.”
5. Yes we all like how fur coats look but “eighteen red foxes are killed to make one fox-fur coat, 55 minks to make a mink coat.”
