In the U.S. about 1,828 and die because of animal cruelty. The animals that gets abuse the most are dogs.Their are about 6,000 illegal puppy mill that exist in the United States. People who own puppy mills do not correctly take care of their animals.

7% of media-reported cruelty cases usually occurred with a person who has a domestic violence history. One reason why the owners would hurt the pet would be that they know that they can't hit and defend themselves. Another reason would be that the owner has a lot of stress and does not know who to take it out on and then they decide to take it out on their on pet.

A 2011 study showed that 20.9% of cases involved cats. Also 74.1 million pet cats in the U.S. Are assaulted every minute include 70 million dogs.

Many states do not consider livestock in their cruelty laws. More than about 24.1% of cases include other animals. That's is just around country. Other places around the world do not consider fried dog or cat as animal cruelty which is just outrageous.

Deliberate cruelty may involve beating, shooting or stabbing animals, or setting them on fire. Neglect is not giving an animal necessary food, water, shelter or vet care. Because their misery is often prolonged, animals who die of neglect can suffer just as much as animals who are deliberately harmed.

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form. ~William Ralph Inge, Outspoke

Animal Abuse: The act of cruelty or neglect on an animal. Animal abuse has been happening since the 12th century and hasn't stopped since. The world has evolved and lower rates of many world problems, and even animal cruelty has lowered but is still happening all over the world. In other places around the world animal cruelty is now illegal and sometimes given rewards for the animals death. Here are some definite signs of animal abuse: 1.No food or water 2. No shelter 3. Lack of grooming 4.No usual checkups

No More Animal Cruelty ! Pt. 1

Animal Cruelty is when someone hurts an animal or does not care for an animal responsibly. When people buy or Adopt a animal it's mainly like signing a contract for the rest of you life. Animals have no say or doing in where they go or how their treated, and unfortunately the will get hurt. But in good cases they will be in loving homes where they will get the caring they deserve.Including other animals that live in places such as farms and zoos. Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. We estimate that the number of dogs and cats entering U.S. shelters annually has declined from approximately 7.2 million in 2011. The biggest decline was in dogs (from 3.9 million to 3.3 million). Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats). The number of dogs and cats euthanized in U.S. shelters annually has declined from approximately 2.6 million in 2011. This decline can be partially explained by an increase in the percentage of animals adopted and an increase in the number of stray animals successfully returned to their owners. This case is just made up of the U.S.' dogs and cats alone.
