Against Animal Cruelty Of 08' Is a website thats AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY.

Every day millions of animals are born into lives of unspeakable suffering. Every day millions more suffer terrible deaths.

- Globally, there are some 600 million dogs, and a similar number of cats, of which an estimated 80% are unwanted and suffer from hunger, disease, neglect and persecution as pests.

- The illegal and often inhumane trade in wildlife and wildlife parts is a soaring black market worth $10 billion a year, exceeded only by arms and drug smuggling. Millions of wild animals are killed, captured or traded inhumanely in this shady business.

- An estimated 80% of power input on farms in developing countries is supplied by draught animals, however the resources made available are often woefully inadequate, leading to significant welfare issues.

- Though seldom considered, animals are also affected to an enormous degree by disasters, both natural (droughts, floods, earthquakes) and human-caused (fires, oil spills, military conflicts).

- Animal cruelty is shockingly prevalent around the world, even in countries like the U.S. where strong legal penalties have been put in place. Animal abuse can take many forms, including acts of violence (beating, mutilating, setting on fire, promoting fights between animals) or neglect (denying food, water, or shelter)
