5 Conclusion :
1.1 Introduction
Animal Cruelty is not something
which is very occurring with
owners. However, some people
choose to make bad decisions,
and the victims of them were
the animals.
The only time they are unchained is when they are to be made pregnant or
when they are to be sold to slaughter houses after there ability to yield milk
comes to an end .
They are made Pregnant as soon as there lactating period is about to end so
that the production of milk in unhindered
they are given oxytocin which cannot be bought or sold without prescription
but since it boosts the production of milk it is widely used in dairy industry
2.2 Case Study - Poultry Farming
When they are only 6 or 7 weeks old, they’re crammed into cages and trucked
to slaughter.
Same is the situation Of "laying hens" .
In-fact male "laying hens" since they do not have much meat productivity it is
not feasible to raise them up
Chickens are disposed by drowning and burning.
Many become crippled under their own weight and eventually die.
The industry grows exponentially daily since the demand for chicken meat
and eggs is ever increasing.

A huge population of slum and street-dwellers, who often keep the dogs as free-roaming pets

3.1 Are Zoo’s ethical
No right to breed, capture and confine other animals even if they are
endangered.
No moral person can accept slavery and this is slavery
Caging Birds and animals for entertainment is unethical
Many a times animals die due to negligence or lack of natural habits.
3.1 Arguments Against Zoo
If zoos are teaching children anything, it’s that imprisoning animals for our
own entertainment is acceptable.
There are conclusive proofs that zoos make animals lame and oftern they do
not live upto there average age.
It hurts in general diversity.
So we should move away from zoos to wildlife sanctuaries where animals are
free to move at there well.
