Answer 3

There are several types of torture...... One type is to do something to another living animal (yes that includes people) which subjects or causes physical pain... i.e. striking (hitting), causing lacerations, breaking of bones or joints, removing some part of whomever the torturer is torturing. If you feel the need to be able to visually see this (and honestly, no one in their right minds would!!). There are several movies that you can watch. I will not provide that information as those who would go to them already know what they are.

Next would be psychological or mental, which can be far more devastating and have far long effects while not normally causing physical harm. I will not go into detail on the types of mental or psychological types of torture as that could possible teach or assist in aiding someone in causing harm to any living being! I will only say that many people AND ANIMALS (if you have ever seen any animal cower, become intensely afraid from a tone whether it be voice or other types of noise, objects or a person or a different person but may either be the same sex or look similar to the person (as humans are the ONLY animals on this planet that will cause either physical or psychological (mental) torture of another living creature, thus the comment of same sex or looking similar to the person comment!
