Many of the murderers in today's world started out on animals. Animal abuse has been going on for hundreds of years. One of the main types of animal abuse is neglect . This means to do something to an animal that would hurt their health or well-being. Neglect is a very big problem in the United States.
People leave their animals tied up or left in a cage the whole day.
Although the animal may have the necessities to live, it does not have the love or companionship it needs. Adult animals are usually more neglected than young ones. The reason for this is a person will go into a pet store and buy a kitten or puppy because they are cute. They are not actually ready for an animal. They are then neglected.
