Animal Abuse; 500 animals die every day and 300 000 animals die a year from animal abuse. It is so sad... STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY!
Animal cruely brings grief and turmoil into people's lives. There are sociopathic pet owners who abuse their pets and not only does the animal suffer, but it causes grief to the people who witness the abuse, either/or just know abuse goes on. There is satanic ritual abuse of animals. The people who do this can take your pets without your knowledge and abuse them. These abuses of animals upset those of us who have empathy. Some children are brought up to think animal cruelty is acceptable. This does them a lot of damage. An animal who is abused may not trust anyone. Dogs who are abused will bite out of fear. Some other animals just run away. Cruelty, abuse and neglect makes animals ill, causes injury and they can die. Animal cruelty done in front of small children can cause the children to grow up with sociopathic passtimes or criminal passtimes because they try to re-play the things they see. For that reason, people should not even slaughter livestock animals in front of them.

Some first signs of animal abuse is any injury on the animal that seems to be covered up, starved or very thin animals, or animals that are scared of people.
