The abusive behavior toward animals is what will fall to animal cruelty. But, just like us human beings, animals have feelings too. Furthermore, they have a significant role in our ecosystem and are essential in agricultural sustainability. That is why they also need protection and compassion, not cruelty. That being said, here are the Top 3 Countries With Highest Animal Cruelty Rates.
1. BELARUS
The Republic of Belarus is a country located in Western Europe. The Belarusians have killed 35.7 farm animals per person/year, which is four times the global average of 9.7, as stated in vaci.voiceless.org.au. In addition, Belarus has a high reliance on animal farm consumption, resulted in 5.6 animals per person. According to belarusdigest.com, the Republic of Belarus lacks animal protection laws and even mandated the killings of captured homeless animals. In conclusion, the Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index has given them a score of 143 as the worst country in animal cruelty as per vegetarians.co.nz.
2. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Most animal abuse victims in the US are dogs, cats, horses, and livestock animals. The Humane Society of the US estimated about 1 Million animals were being abused and killed, as per now.tufts.edu. On the other hand, though, 94% of Americans had sympathized that animals intended for food consumption deserve to live free and away from abuse and cruelty. Still, nearly 10 Billion animals live in unreasonable situations that don’t meet the consumer’s stated values. Following vegetarians.co.nz, the US got a rate of 118 from Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index as the second-worst country in animal cruelty.
3. VENEZUELA
Venezuelan slaughters about 24.9 farm animals per person/year which is remarkably higher than the 9.7 global average. According to vaci.voiceless.org.au, factory farming in Venezuela is notable in pig and poultry production. Even animal protection laws exist in the country; they still fail to give complete protection to animals and have shared their focus on the production of animals over animal care. Furthermore, the Venezuelans have a high comparative diet in animal meat consumption. For that reason, Voiceless Animal Cruelty Index has given them a score of 117 as the third-worst country in animal cruelty, as stated in vegetarians.co.nz.
