Animal Abuse

Cruelty to animals or animal abuse is the infliction of suffering or harm upon non-human animals , for purposes other than self-defense . More narrowly , it can be harm for specific gain , such as killing animals for food or for their fur . Diverging viewpoints are held by jurisdictions throughout the world .

Many jurisdictions around the world have enacted statutes which forbid cruelty to some animals but these vary by country and in some cases by the use or practice .

Most people do not have the heart of insanity because the animals are often punished on the basis of satisfaction . For example , they beat and torture the animal because of the water usage they have wasted . Pets such as dog were also became the victim especially when they bark at people surrounds them . Some times , they would kill the animal till death just to satisfy their needs . 

Broadly speaking , there are two approaches to the issue . The animal welfare position holds that there is nothing inherently wrong with using animals for human purposes , such as food , clothing , entertainment , and research , but that is should be done in a humane way that minimizes unnecessary pain and suffering . Animal rights theorists criticize this position , arguing that the words "unnecessary" and "humane" are subject to widely differing interpretations , and that the only way to ensure protection for animals is to end their status as property , and to ensure that they are never used as commodities . Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent needless cruelty to animals , rather than killing for other aims such as food , or they concern species not eaten as food in the country involved , such as those regarded as pets .
