Each day more then 72,000 puppies and kittens will be born in the United States alone. Of those, only five in 50 will find permanent, loving homes. Others will be given away or put out on the street. The majority of these will be destroyed. This is a sad but true fact.
Animal abuse is just one the problems facing the United States.
Animal abuse has been recorded since the earliest times. Since the definition of abuse has not been clearly stated, it is hard for one to know what it exactly boils down to. One of the types of animal abuse is companion animal abuse. This is when someone does something to one of their pets, maliciously, intentionally, and irresponsibly. But it could also be when someone hurts their pets unintentionally, ignorantly and painfully.
