People who abuse animals have been said to be mostly men under 30, and animal hoarders are usually woman over 60. The most common victims of animal abuse are the mostly horses, cats, dogs, and livestock. The statistics show that it is
70.1% dogs
20.9% cats
24.1% other animals
Investigations show that most of the animal abuse is at factory farm industries, and since there is very weak protection against livestock there are hardly ever reported. Really the only cases that are reported are the ones that are extremely shocking, and even then, when it is the most absurd, wrongful thing you have heard of, the abuser doesn’t get prosecuted for their actions, they get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again, but what happens? They do it again! In a survey that was taken it was learned that people who abuse their family members, also abuse their pets. Then, there was also a study for child abuse cases and they had found that in those homes, that they researched, 88% of those homes have abused their pets as well as their child.

As years go on there are more illegal dog fighting going on, as there are 10,000 dogs that will die in one year. There are women who are in abusive relationships but they don’t leave because they don’t want their pet to get abused instead of them. 70% of people who are abusers towards animals have other criminal records (most likely violent crimes). Since there are shelters around communities that often get full they have to put some animals down because they are overcrowed in the shelter, every year there has been 3-4 million cats and dogs that have been put down and they have are perfect animals as they are healthy and very much adoptable.
To help out and protect animals from animal abuse you can get involved and talk to others from any clubs, or humane agencies to find out how to help. You can also go to your humane agency and get pamphlets and hand them out to people you know such as your friends, family, and co-workers. You could also help out by writing to your newspaper or a TV station and tell about how you are against animal abuse and you are agree strongly with strong penalties for abusers. You can also go around your community and volunteer wherever you can in local shelters. There are many other things you can do to help out and to find out about what else you can do search it up online, it always has great suggestions, or go to your local veterinarian and ask them what you could do. So, now when you see any kind of animal cruelty, take action and call for help, it can save the pets life.
It is crazy to think that least 1 animal is getting hurt per day! I don't understand why people need to hurt animals, don't people understand that animals are people too, they live with us, they love us, and they are a great companion to have around especially if you live alone. If you live alone, you may feel scared at times, but when you have a pet there you just feel better knowing that someone is there with you. So thank you to those that help out these wonderful creatures!
