What is Animal Abuse?

First, we'll explain a little bit about what exactly animal abuse is. There are actually many different ways that an animal can be abused, and any animal can be abused.

Cruelty to animals is the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals, other than humans, for purposes other than self-defense.

That is the definition of animal abuse. This covers many different things, such as:

• Animal Testing
• Animal Hoarding
• Dog Fighting
• Puppy Mills
• Horse (and dog) Races;
• Abandonment
• Slaughter
• And many other things!
