The link between animal abuse and human violence. Brighton: Sussex Academic Press. Planed action: We will comPlanned action---We are advocating for animal’s rights along with the notion that there is a correlation between animal abuse and domestic abuse, deeming this a social issue. We are going with a “see something, say something” route and intend to use pamphlets with more information and helplines for those who see animal abuse on the streets or even in their own home, giving them a safe place to anonymously report these incidents. We will include statistics and compelling information about animal abuse and domestic abuse correlation, and will try to make it information very specific to East Lansing so it is more compelling for people to take action. We will hand out these pamphlets personally to people and answer any questions they may have and educate ourselves so we can give them more information and suggestions about how to go about reporting animal abuse (we know that it may put people in a tough situation if the abuse is occurring in their own home). We know that socialization plays a huge role in how children grow up, and if we can see a decline in animal abuse within the home, then less children will be exposed to this behavior in the years to come, making them less likely to learn from their guardian’s example. 1 Collective Social Action on Animal Abuse Regardless of whether it is unlawful or not, animal cruelty is one of the most controversial issues in the contemporary world. Intriguingly, some people draw personal amusement from cause harm and suffering to these animals; a phenomenon commonly referred to as zoosadism. Though most jurisdictions have enacted laws to minimize the cruelty to animals, there still exist divergent viewpoints on what exactly needs to controlled and what should be compromised. Notably, different regions hold different beliefs about the use of animals for human livelihood; thus, it becomes hard to address the issue from a holistic perspective adequately. One of the most befitting approaches of responding to the issue of animal abuse is the use of collective social action. The current paper will examine this approach, reasons for its use, how to implement, and the expected effectiveness. The reason for choosing collective social action was its proven efficacy in the society. People often change their harmful or undesirable behaviors when they are shown the downside of their activities, in particular by a group. Thus, focusing on the social action would yield more results than most other approaches. Both the intentional and unintentional harm to non-human animals is referred to as animal abuse. The deliberate harm mostly occurs when humans want to achieve some specific gain like food or skin, and the unintentional one stems from animal neglect. Unfortunately, people who are compassionate about the welfare of animals coexist in the same world with the perpetrators of animal suffering (Wicks 187). Still worse is that most of the suffering can be controlled, yet very few take the initiative to do so. Animals suffer in many environments like 2 laboratories, abattoirs, habitat destruction, and hunting among others and little has been done to control these vices. Animal abuse directly affects our lives in many ways. In his book on confronting animal abuse, Beirne holds that animal abuse should be incorporated into criminology. First, it has the potential to trigger inter-human conflict due to the sophisticated nature of the actions considered as animal abuse. Second, there are certain elements of animal abuse that can be found in the criminal law. Third, animal abuse can be studied under the utilitarian concept that emphasizes the avoidance of pain and suffering in the promotion of happiness (Beirne, 2009). The world can never be regarded as a good place when some of its inhabitants are living in sheer pain and suffering, more so that which can be prevented. Fourth, animal abuse is outright a violation of rights. Under feminism, it is regarded as one of the various oppressions that compromise universal coexistence of animals (Beirne, 2009). Linzey also holds that there a substantial relationship between animal abuse and human violence in that there are psychological connections between the perpetrators of both of these crimes. He emphasized that the same kind of control measures embraced when attempting to curb human violence would be effective in preventing animal abuse (Linzey, 2009). The decision to distribute handouts to members of the community was reached after it was found to be an effective way of informing people about several critical issues affecting them. Evidently, it is easier for them to report cases of abuse if they already know where and how to do so. Thus, the handouts will include all that information so that the confidence in reporting may be elevated. We will encourage people to ensure that none of those animal abuse cases in their neighborhoods go unreported. Such an action is believed to minimize the level of ill-treatment to 3 the extent that the children of tomorrow will have little idea about what animal abuse is; thus, their likelihood of mistreating animals will be very petite. Since Linzey extensively reveals how interconnected animal abuse and domestic abuse are, we are determined to fully embrace this social action as a way of curbing the social issue of human and animal violence (Linzey,2009). The primary focus will be the “see something, say something” strategy and our pamphlets will provide information on how to help can be obtained anonymously. To have a more compelling and appealing initiative, any relevant statistic and abuse information unique to East Lansing will be incorporated into the pamphlets. Further, we will respond to any issue raised by the people on the streets. Every member of the group will have a specific role to play in the exercise. Some will be tasked with designing the banners and pamphlets, others preparing the schedules for the entire exercise, others ensuring that all necessary resources are available, and others coordinating the actual distribution of the leaflets. The social action achieved substantial success, and the people were happy with the idea. Most of them encouraged us to go on with the initiative, with some even going to the extent of offering material resources to support the furtherance of the program. Others joined the group as we moved from one area to another and offered their energy to ensure that our objectives were achieved. Future improvements might include launching a parallel online campaign so as to widen the scope and reach more people. Animal abuse is an issue of serious concern and must thus be fought from different perspectives. It is worth noting that social action is one of the most effective ways of fighting the abuse because the implementation of stringent laws to curb it has faced significant challenges. Our social action was aimed at informing the community on ways in which they can help reduce the instances of abuse by reporting them to the necessary authorities. 4 5 Works Cited Beirne, P. (2009).

COLLECTIVE SOCIAL ACTION ON ANIMALS

The issue of animal welfare involves animals’ well-being. As such, the there are
variations of standards concerning "good" animal welfare depending on different
contexts. Such standards are therefore under review following debates, creation, and
revision by animal welfare activist groups, lawmakers, and academicians worldwide.
The choice of this topic is largely driven by concern over animal welfare given the belief
that animals are sentient and therefore the importance of their well-being or suffering
especially if they care for humans. The topic is also of great interest as it also concerns
the way animals are killed for food, used in scientific studies, kept as pets, in farms, zoos,
circuses, among other places, as well as the way human activities have affected the
survival and welfare of some wild species.

Irrespective of whether it is unlawful or not, cruelty against animal is one of the
most controversial issues in the contemporary world. It is however surprising that some
people draw personal amusement or pleasure from causing harm and suffering to
animals; a phenomenon that is commonly referred to as zoo sadism. Though there are
many laws that have been enacted in different jurisdictions towards checking against
cruelty to animals, there are still some divergent viewpoints on what exactly needs to
controlled and what should be compromised. It is worth noting that different regions have
different beliefs about the use of animals for human livelihood; thus, it is sometimes hard
adequately addressing the issue from a purely holistic perspective. It is for this reason
therefore that the collective social action is one of the best approaches of responding to
the issue of animal abuse. The paper will therefore address itself to examining this

approach as well as the reasons for its use, implementation, and also its expected
effectiveness.
The choice of this approach is as a result of its proven efficacy in the society as it
is evident that people will always change their harmful or undesirable behaviors when
they are shown the downside of their activities, in particular by a group. Thus, the focus
on the social collective action should yield more results when compared to other
approaches.
The intentional and unintentional harm to non-human animals is referred to as
