Who are "they"? "They" (the ASPCA) usually thank you for adopting an abused shelter animal. It is not illegal to own an abused animal.

In some jurisdictions it is illegal to abuse an animal. The laws vary from place-to-place and change over time. The laws also vary in definition of what constitutes abuse.
