Nuclear weapons were used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki because that was the Only way to get the Japanese to surrender, short of a manned invasion by the Allies in November 1945. The total death toll for the two cities was around 350,000 people. More people died when Tokyo (1st) and Dresden (2nd) were burned to the ground than died at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. The atomic bombing of the two cities ended WW II and have deterred the world from having a nuclear WW III since 1945.

How many recorded deaths are their for abused animals?

I think the number of recorded deaths are probably short of the actual figure since many animals are abused at home and never reveal their inhumanity and brutality to anyone who would record it.
