The Harsh Cruelty Some Animals Have to Face

In an editorial piece entitled "A Beastly Kind of Cruelty" published by the Los Angeles Times (Aug. 17,2007), John M. Gilonna examines the changes that have been occurring involving farm animals that have been part of "an increasing number of animal cruelty cases." Gilonna offers examples of examinations made by several authorities which indicate that these cruelties are made by people who are not mentally well, but in other words may later in the future commit higher crimes. Gilonna suggest that we recognize what is happening around us and try to work as a community to find the responsible criminals for these cruelty actions. Gilonna's informative column is targeted to concerned rational people who care for animal rights, and believe that this is inhumane treatment, and using an alarming and informative tone, carefully builds his request for aid through providing appropriate examples of cruelty in different places around the United States.
