__** ANSWERS **__
Normal, everyday people some reasons they do it are like when they are stressed or angry because something happened or the animal hasnt listened but no exscuse gives them the right to harm an animal because animals have rights and feelings to. (Samadhi And Evvies Answer) Animal cruelty happens when either somebody is angry or stressed out or because the animal has disobeyed the owner it also occurs when people have no passion for animals. It also happens in animal testing factories where innocent animals are strapped down to a table or a chair and are injected with our eyeliner , shampoo, bodywash , mascara and other products is that fair ? I think not. They have to live in tiny cages and are feed so little. And never get any T.L.C how cruel is that. I dont think that you would like being in that situation? (Samadhi) Well alot of organisations such as the S.P.C.A,W.S.P.A,Green Peace and other protesters that are very pashionate about animals and also just normal people who love thier animals! (Evvie) __Neglect__ Not feeding and ignoring your animals. __Physical__ Hitting or Kicking your animals. __Verbal__ Yelling or swearing at your animals. Some other things that involve animal cruelty are. . . Dog Fights, Animal Testing, Bull Fights (ext) (Our Groups Answers) **What countries are worse?** Lots of countries do animal cruelty but some of them are really bad ! Canada, because of there new sport called "Seal Whacking " China, becuse of the way they treat animals, such as having wild birds for pets and keeping them in tiny cages. U.S.A, because the way they treat and look after animals such as dog fights. Europe, because of there testing , just in Europe 38,000 animals just die from cosmetic animal testing.
