What is your thought on anmial abuse?

My thought on animal abuse is that it is wrong. It is cruel and morally wrong. Some people treat their pets like family, that is fine, but then there are people who beat their pets for the smallest thing or even for fun. That would be the same thing as child abuse. Do people think it is ok to starve or beat a child? No, so i believe that it is not ok to beat/abuse an animal.
