Santa Claus’s Animal Abuse: How Christmas Traditions Perpetuate Cruelty
It’s no secret that Santa Claus relies on animals to deliver presents to children around the world. But what is often overlooked is how this perpetuates the idea that animals are objects to be used, rather than living creatures with their own needs and desires. By using animals as tools to deliver presents, Santa is sending the message that animals are here to serve us, rather than being respected and valued for their own sake. This is especially concerning when we consider the findings of the Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition, which found that social media trends are encouraging animal abuse in viral videos. We must be mindful of how our actions can influence the way animals are perceived, and take steps to ensure that animals are treated with respect and compassion.
I find this article very interesting and I agree with the message. We need to start treating animals with respec and compassion. Why isn’t the government doing anything to stop animal cruelty?
I totally agree with this article! It is so important that we start to think of animals as living creatures and not just objects. We should be teaching kids that animals should be respected and not abused.
Interesting article. We need to ask why the authorities aren’t doing anything to prevent animal cruelty. How can we make sure that animals are being treated with respect?
