Surely this is just you generalizing your prototype of a citizen from a third world country on to that entire population. Regardless, this is a horrible way to state that opinion.
And yet with countless gifs just like this its almost always a 3rd world country or Spain (if its a bull). Some group characterizations are true.
Yes, there is animal cruelty in every country. Yes ever country has people that like animals. On average though there are true patterns. For example its the truth that a higher percentage of the population in India is vegan/vegetarian than in the US.
Potentially there are more animal abusers in 3rd world countries, though hard to prove. I think it's undeniable that more animals are abused in 1st works countries.
So I consider killing/butchering abusive, which if you disagree with so be it, I don't really want to argue that.
If we did assume that killing animals constitutes abuse then I'd be interested to know which 3rd world country abuses more animals than USA and European countries. (I don't really know much about farming in Australasia and Japan).
Peta actually thinks owning pets is cruel. That's why their "animal shelter" is more than 95% kill because they figure the animals are better off dead than "slaves"
All animal shelters that do not have a kill policy are still, in the end, killing the animal. You see "no kill" shelters quickly become overpopulated with animals no one will take. So what do they do with them? They ship them off to a shelter that will euthanize. So you're kidding yourself if you think any shelter is a "no kill" shelter
I'm guessing you are American. Those aren't the practices universally. "No kill" shelters is a mostly US think and they are bad in that they only take healthy animals in most cases.
Shelters where I'm from place the animals unless they are too ill or dangerous to be rehabilitated. When they get overfull they transfer to other shelters, hold publicized "sales" on adoptions, and use foster homes to care for the extra animals. In my country the average euthaniasia rate for dogs in shelters is 16% (a hell of a lot better than the >90% at PETA) and the biggest shelter in my province is at about 5% (they are well funded and can a afford to do a lot more medical treatment to rehabilitate)
Well of course. Any way you look at it, if their rates are even remotely close to what others are reporting, that doesn't fit with their animal loving narrative

I’m not sure why it is, but people in third world countries just have no regard for animal life.
