In Iowa animal abuse is considered an aggravated misdemeanor and with that you can get a fine that ranges from $500-$5000 and/or imprisonment up to two years. Other states it ranges from 30 days to 5 years depending on the level of the abuse and what the law is in that state.

Well, about 20,000 animals are abused each month. But about 90% of abuse cases are not filed, so it is many more than that. There's sadly only about 1700 arrests per year.

Why is animal abuse so common?

Animal abuse is very common because most people think that animals are helpless and you can do anything to them. You get mad at them, so you throw them. They claw you, so you cut them. Animal abuse is wrong. Some people think that animal abuse is nothing, but it is indeed not nothing. People think that since the animal can't do anything, they can take control over them and hit them, put them in illegal animal fights where they are often killed or kill them themselves. People who cause animal abuse or horrid people, they do go to jail where they belong. Imagine if you were abusing an animal, now think if you were the animal being abused, you wouldn't like it either. Animals should die of old age, not of being abused.
