well there are programs that educate people that animals feel pain too and that it can be dangerous to abuse an animal because that said animal could become violent and hurt someone that it is illegal to a certain extent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Programs aren't the only things preventing animal cruelty, people just like me all over the world are also helping to rescue animals. For example I have a 12 year old chow who was owned by a very abusive family, and one day they came by and asked if we could take care of her for a few days. Well ya know what, they didn't give us food for her, she hadn't had any of her shots, and was abused on a daily basis. It took over 2 years for her to overcome her fear of brooms, vaccums, shoes, even the sound of my mom's heels on the floor would spook her. And do you know what they did after 4 years of them just leaving poor Bear (thats her name) with us, they had the nerve to come back and ask for her back! Well... before Bear there was another dog named Shelby with us and at the time she still was... so when the lady and her husband just decided to waltz on in to our house Shelby grabbed the lady by the hand, not hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough so that it hurt, and wouldn't let go until the lady and her husband got out of our house. So there you have it, its not just programs, but everyday people like us who every day have the oppurtunity to save an animal at risk. P.S. Sorry for the long story.
No matter what people do, going vegan or becoming an activist or anything of that matter, animal cruelty cannot be completely stopped. There's always going to be some form of animal cruelty that will be around forever, and really this depends on the individual's viewpoints of what really is cruel and what isn't and their level of understanding of that particular scenario. Some people see certain activities as cruel, but others do not.
Other Answers:Well, sadly it can't be completely "stopped", there will always be people out there who will abuse animals. But you can help prevent it (and save a life!) by joining a campaign, signing petitions, don't by leather/fur/puppies from puppy mills (pet stores) and etc., adopt from shelters, setting a good example for others, donating to nonprofit charities dedicated to homeless and displaced animals worldwide, keeping an eye out for animal cruelty and immediately reporting it if you see it. Xo, Smartiiz.You could build awareness websites and try to raise money to donate to shelters that help animals. Mostly, try to build awareness on how bad animal cruelty is.
Many developed and educated country's have set up organizations backed by the law of the land that protect animals against cruelty. However there is still along way to go everywhere in the world.
May I just start and say that animal abuse is a never ending battle.
In many countries such as UK, USA, New Zealand, India, Sweden, Germany and many more have laws protecting animals from a wide variety of abuses, and many of them hold a prison sentence.
For example, abusing a dog in the UK can lead to:
£5,000 fine (or more is its a serious case)
5 year prison sentence
Up to a life time ban on keeping animals
im so sorry but it has not gone down one bit im sorry to say that i love them to
go to numa taler caner on face book to stop it.

Colgate has discontinued the practice of testing its products on animals. It is now using other means to test the efficacy of its products much to the relief of animal rights activists.

As of December 2012, KENTUCKY---6 years in a rowDemand Kentucky Crack Down on Animal AbuseFor the sixth straight year, Kentucky has been declared the worst state for animal abuse. Despite the efforts of several state legislators and the Humane Society of the United States, Kentucky's animal abuse problem comes largely as a failure to increase the penalties for animal abusers. Call upon the governor of Kentucky to ensure that something is done immediately to keep these animals safe.
To solve crimes that have been done in the past.
Some do, However most animal abuse is done by people that are too shallow minded to realise that animals have feelings as well as them selves.
Well, we have many organizations that are working to stop animal abuse. Some people go to jail, and some get a warning depending on how bad the abuse was. Most people go to jail AND pay a fine. More and more people are making donations to organizations like ASPCA, HSUS, PETA, and more... Those donations help win the fight of animal cruelty, neglect, and abuse.
Abuse is starvation, abandonment, puppy mills, dog fighting, hunting unless it's done humanely, scientific testing for things we don't need basicaly.
Yes, if it's done intentionally! Of course animal cruelty is against the law! Also, where animal abuse isn't illegal, it's still unethical. Don't do it.
i think it depends, and I'm pretty sure you go to jail. in my opinion you should have whatever you've done to the animal done to you. because that's just sick and wrong. so don't even think about doing it!! PETA for life!!
anything done to a person that they did not agree to is considered abuse.
as far as research to child abuse, counselling is done to find the mental effects abuse has to a childs future. and analyzing different cases of abuse is done to adjust criminal charges to ensure every form of abuse is punishable by the law.
No. Drug abuse history has never been linked to Crohns disease. Children as young as 3 can develop Crohns disease. Crohns is not something you have done to yourself.
