Animal cruelty is a form of hurting animals. Uncaring people torture and abuse their animals. People say that an animal is a man’s best friend. But not in all cases. Some people neglect, shoot, starve, etc. their animals. But this is never necessary. Some animals may not be treated the way they want to, but there is always a fine line. Some people take out their anger on their animals. Like, sometimes when they get angry they lose control and neglect their animals.

Many people do this to get “revenge” because they were abused one time in their life. Studies have shown that people who were around this kind of behavior as a child, is why most likely, they do it today.

Here are some facts about animal cruelty:

• 18 red foxes are killed to make just one fur coat.
• Elephants that perform in circuses are kept in chains for 23 hours
• More than 15 million warm-blooded animals are used for research every year
• About 100 species go extinct every day. That’s about 1 every 15 minutes
• Many studies have found a link between cruelty to animals and other forms of interpersonal violence.
