Another very serious type of abuse is physical abuse. This means to physically hurt the animal in any way. When pets are bad people seem to think they can throw them across the room or hit them. No animal deserves that kind of treatment. People who think they can treat their pet as a stuffed animal or toy or wrong.
Owners often think animals are able to take abuse because they are strong or tough looking.
This is the stupidest thing to think. Animals have feelings just like people and cannot take the abuse just like people. One of the most unnoticed kinds of abuse is scientific research. This in fact, is very much so the same kind of abuse as all of the other types. It is estimated that three laboratory animals die every second.
