Animal Cruelty
By: Mallory House
What is Animal Cruelty ?
Animal Cruelty is hurting an animal, or purposefully not caring about the animal(s)
The types of people who usually do this are people who have a mental disorder, or are troubled criminals.
Statistics show that...
64.5% of animals being abuse are dogs.
18% of animals being abused are cats
25% involved other animals: Horses, Chickens, Cows, Turkeys, etc...
People who abuse animals are more likely to go to jail for homicide, or in a mental institution for having a severly troubled mind.
Dogs
This dog was a bait dog. On the left, is a picture of the dog before surgery and love. On the right is after surgery and in the process of being loved.
Cats
This cat was duck taped all around his body except for the head. The owner of the cat probably thought it was funny. Or wanted him/ her to not move. Either way, it's sick and cruel.
Other
This is a monkey being killed by a shot. Most likely for medicene. More than 125,000 monkeys primates are used for testing drugs, cosemetics things like that.
Animal Protection Services
There are probably more than these two animal protection services, but these are usually the main ones. The Humane Society, and the ASPCA. You can volunteer and help. The closest ASPCA that I know of is in Fairfield Township past the Vineyard Church on Princeton Road by the retirement home. Animals that you can adopt are usually animals that have been abused, left behind and forgotten, brought in because they can not take care of the animal anymore, or they are found running away and they keep them if not claimed. The Humane Society also does the same. But they focus more on abused animals and animals that are left behind.
This cat was shot with an arrow, the arrow went through it's head.
The owner of this dog put fireworks in the dogs mouth. It blew up in his mouth and caused severe mouth damage.
