The robbery and animal exploitation
It is alarming that even in the 21st century, so many people continue to think that animals come to this Earth to serve us, to be our slaves and our means of transportation. Animal exploitation is one of the most serious problems that humanity faces, since we have reached a point in which most of our development is based on the torture of these innocent beings, either to eat them, to take advantage of their strength or to be entertained in cruel circuses and recreational parks.
In 2011 it was estimated that more than 3,000 animals died every second at the hands of humans . The rope is one of the symbols of this pain that so many people justify with empty arguments, such as that we are a carnivorous species or that not everyone has the necessary technology to carry out their jobs without the "help" of animals.
Firstly, there are more and more scientific studies that show that human beings are neither carnivorous nor omnivorous , since we do not have adequate claws and teeth to hunt other animals; yes, "hunting" , in the true sense of the word, in which the cowardice of using artificial weapons has no place, but rather one must risk one's own life and use large amounts of energy to pursue the prey and kill it, feeling his blood on our hands and our mouths, assuming one hundred percent of our actions.
With respect to technology for agricultural tasks, on the other hand, there are all kinds of machines designed to carry out each of them, and if governments committed to ending animal exploitation once and for all, they could provide their people with the necessary resources and give the poor animal slaves a good life, in freedom, without rope or saddle , with the limits that they themselves choose or that nature has assigned to them.
In the same way, circuses, water parks, bullrings and any other type of animal torture center intended for the "entertainment" of people should cease to exist, because they should never have existed: we have the cinema, the theater, music, literature, video games... Do we really need to see another living being suffer to have a good time?
The robbery can be linked to animal exploitation.
