Some people would consider horse riding animal abuse. First of all, some people could argue that horses should not be held captive for human use in the first place. Next, the weight of a person riding a horse is uncomfortable and unnatural for horses. Finally, when it comes to racing, many jockeys whip the horse to make them go faster, which certainly causes pain and discomfort. I honestly, don't think it is, but I don't use a whip and horses weigh hundreds of pounds. It wouldn't be uncomfortable to carry a 80 lb. person to a 600 lb. horse
It could be because not grooming an animal can get lead to skin infections.
I.e. If you dont cut a dogs fur, it is more likely to get fleas and skin infections
Why Wouldn't it be if you hurt an animal on purpose repeatedly then its counted as animal abuse!
It is estimated that between 700 and 800 horses are injured or die from animal abuse each year. Many of these are race horses that are injured on the track. The number of animal abuse cases involving horses have went down since the closure of all US-based horse slaughterhouses.
No.
About 69% are dogs and horses.
Some English folk in 1824 to stop the abuse of carrige horses :-)
the top two i think are dogs and horses.
you should never abuse an animal they are living things and must be treated humanely and with respect
It can consider hitting or just not feeding and watering them.
Abuse is abuse, no matter what species, and abuse has criminal consequences. Hunting for food or due to over population isn't considered animal abuse to many, and many advert their eyes to such practice. Poaching or illegal hunting is animal abuse, because of animals endangered of being extinct. If animals becomes extinct there's a disruption in the food chain, and that will cause major problems in our ecosystem. Some believe hunting is abuse, but if it were not for hunting many species would already be extinct "including humans". Depends a lot on whether the animal wasn't humanely killed while being hunted or if the animal was abusively tortured before it was killed, that would be considered animal abuse.
No. It's considered animal abuse and it's against the law.
It's considered exploitation, worse than abuse. Kicking a dog is abuse. Using the dog as a noncommittal experimental subject in radiation poisoning, head-on collisions, or vivisection is exploitation.
Yes, neglecting an animal is animal abuse.
well no because horses are living animals i would be very bad animal abuse that is for people who are sick in the head
