Honorable Principal, Respected teachers and dear friends. 

Animal abuse is a negative development that people are getting cruel to the animals. Millions of animals are being abused every day. People have become inhuman and forget that they are also the living creatures. They are continuously beaten, harrassed, multilated, dissected by people. For instance children irritated them by throwing stones on them. They are used in laboratories by children for the purpose of dissection to gain practical knowledge. Hundreds of frogs and lizards are experimented on regular basis.

What's more, People treat animals as a source of entertainment. They play various tricks on them for their fun. They domesticate or caged cats, dogs, parrots, cows, horses etc. for their own pleasure and abuse them. They are used in circuses and zoos and put into cages and are under-fed. They are forced to perform tricks which they cannot normally do. Then bulls, horses, camels, mules and donkeys are over-loaded. They play a vital role in our eco system and biodiversity as due to abusing some species are getting extinct. All these are creating imbalance in the environment. The whole food chain also get collapsed. 

Getting cruel to animals is a negative development, people don't have any right to abuse animals. It should be made a punishable offence. Well-awakened persons, especially children or animal lovers, SPCA (Society for the Protection of cruelty to animals) should join hands to create worldwide awareness for animal abuse. It is our duty to respect animals. We must look after every animal like our own child and nourish it like him. NGOs should come forward to adopt stray animals. Let's take pledge not to abuse animals in order to maintain balance in the environment. 

Thank you.
