Satao

Satao, one of Kenya's largest elephants and one of the last remaining 'great tuskers' with tusks that almost touch the ground, was shot by poachers with poisoned arrows. How sad that he was killed for his tusks, just so people can have some ivory trinkets. Shame on the people who buy ivory items.

A Little About This Blog

This blog is about animal cruelty. Humans are being very cruel to animals. Humans are cruel to animals for food and animal skin and fur. People are also cruel to animals for entertainment.
It seems humans have forgotten animals are living things. Animals have served us, given us food and clothing. Animals have worked for us. Some animals we keep as pets and they give us fun and joy. We should now remember to respect animals.
This blog is created to remind people to respect animals and treat them nicely and to help stop animal cruelty.

The Truth Behind Crab Meat

The way fishermen catch the crabs is cruel. Often the crabs get injured when they are caught. Some fishermen set traps in the water or drag nets across the sea beaches, ocean floors and river banks. Often other animals get caught in the traps or nets. The crabs often get injured due to rough handling. As crabs are territorial they may start fighting each other. In some places people carry the crabs in thin polythene bags. As the crabs can escape from the polythene bags the sellers break off their legs. Many people cook them alive. This is very painful for the crab.
