The “Issues” section sheds light on the widespread and often hidden forms of suffering that animals endure in a human-centered world. These are not simply random acts of cruelty but symptoms of a larger system—built on tradition, convenience, and profit—that normalizes exploitation and denies animals their most basic rights. From industrial slaughterhouses to entertainment arenas, from laboratory cages to clothing factories, animals are subjected to harm that is often sanitized, ignored, or justified by cultural norms.
Each subcategory in this section reveals a different layer of harm. We examine the horrors of slaughter and confinement, the suffering behind fur and fashion, and the trauma animals face during transportation. We confront the impact of factory farming practices, the ethical cost of animal testing, and the exploitation of animals in circuses, zoos, and marine parks. Even within our homes, many companion animals face neglect, breeding abuses, or abandonment. And in the wild, animals are displaced, hunted, and commodified—often in the name of profit or convenience.
By uncovering these issues, we invite reflection, responsibility, and change. This is not just about cruelty—it is about how our choices, traditions, and industries have created a culture of dominance over the vulnerable. Understanding these mechanisms is the first step toward dismantling them—and building a world where compassion, justice, and coexistence guide our relationship with all living beings.
Beneath the surface of aquariums and marine parks lies a troubling reality that contrasts sharply with their polished public image. While these attractions promise education and entertainment, they often come at an immense cost to the animals confined within. From orcas swimming endless circles in barren tanks to dolphins performing unnatural tricks for applause, captivity strips marine creatures of their freedom, dignity, and natural behaviors. This article explores the ethical dilemmas, environmental consequences, and psychological toll of capturing sea animals for human amusement—unveiling an industry built on exploitation rather than conservation
