Top Ten Reasons Why Animal Abuse Is Horrible and Must Stop

Exactly! Animals sometimes attack humans because they can't tell if you're a foe or a nice person. Humans shoot them for fur coats, ivory, and, worst of all, blubber! Animals don't know better! They're animals! ANIMALS! They can't speak human languages to tell us they're being abused. Child abuse is horrible, but animal abuse is even worse! At least children can tell others. Animals cannot! I love nature and animals so much! I am starting my career in three animal-related jobs.

Animal abuse needs to die. It's wrong, and I feel that it is just as bad as terrorism. So I will never, ever do it because of these reasons.

Attention to all animal abusers: How would you like it if someone treated you that way? Not very good. So animal abusers, stop abusing the animals.

Especially the breeds that are very misunderstood, such as pit bulls.

Dogs are my all-time favorite animal, and I don't want them to get hurt.

Killing a dog is like going up to a person and slitting their throat.

Chicken fighting, pit bull fighting, circuses! All make me sick! This is why I am working for the ASPCA and the WWF, and also as a marine biologist for mammals. I freaking love animals, and seeing them being killed and abused makes me sick to my stomach. It worries me that everyone will eventually become one of them.

This one is the worst! A woman shot her puppy, then took a picture and uploaded it on Facebook. In the picture, she was smiling! Like what!

Why the hell would anyone want to hurt an animal for fun? I just want to go up to those people who abuse animals and rip out their lungs and watch them die.

While pedophilia and child abuse are terrible, atrocious crimes, the criminals at least get the punishment they deserve. How often do you see zoophiles and animal abusers get arrested? Only a few. Personally, I think all animal abusers should be executed at worst and have a life sentence without parole at best.

It's truly a sin. Animals do not know any better, and they should NOT have to go through the pain and cruelty that animal abuse consists of.

The way an animal acts is based on how it is treated. For example, if an animal is abused, most of the time it will defend itself, which I do not blame them for. But if an animal is treated well, it will respect and normally obey its owner.

I HATE animal abuse! Animals have feelings like human beings and deserve better love, equal rights, and respect. I LOVE animals because God is a loving God who has made animals in their own unique way.

Just use good doggie, bad doggie treats, like in Modern Family.

Nate, that depends on the animal.

Yes, but it also hurts and often kills them.

It's rude to abuse someone or an animal!

People who abuse animals for fun have no respect for life. They may find it enjoyable torturing poor, innocent creatures, but just wait till they are put in the animal's place. Then they'll be thinking differently.

Killing an animal is just as brutal as killing one of your own kind.

God did not make animals to be abused. They were made just like us.

I hate watching these commercials and hearing, "So and so did this to their animal." It's horrible. Once a woman threw her dog out the window. That's just sad and sick.

I hate those commercials. I really don't like seeing beat-up dogs on television.

It is absolutely heartbreaking when you see the pics online.

If you want to kill an animal, at least don't make it slow and painful. Even though it is not acceptable, don't make them suffer!

Seems that way to me. And it makes me really pissed. Therefore, I want revenge on those bastards by doing to them what they did to those creatures. Hell, I'd love to have animals get revenge on those creeps who make me misanthropic.

I agree. People are sick. Animals are like children. They need you to care for them, not hurt them.

I will never understand why people do this. It needs to be stopped soon. So many animals have died and suffered for human mistakes.

Back in the day, horses and even elephants were used for wars! How horrible is that?!

In fact, we are the biggest monsters on the planet for hurting animals!

It's true, we are just tailless monkeys that somehow invent stuff that boosts our survival.

We're just fully advanced animals, that is.

There is a reason they're called domestic animals. It's because they are tame. You shouldn't just throw the animals into the wild. They need love and companionship.

Some want to be free, some want a good home with us, and food and cuddles like my cats.

When you think about it, animals aren't that different from us. They breathe, get tired, and get hungry, like us. They feel pain and can be tricked, like us. They have homes and children, like us. They know what to do and what not to do, like us. So if you use logic and research, you'll know that animals are equal to us.

Humans and animals are both highly intelligent in their own ways. Just like us, animals have thoughts and feelings, can communicate with one another, and many even form their own social circles.

Why abuse them? What have they done to us?

Even if an animal did do something to you, it's probably because they were scared or traumatized from past events. I am not a vet, but I do a lot of research on animal cruelty, and that's what I have learned so far.

Just like domestic abuse, mental abuse, and child abuse, any other type of abuse is illegal. So is animal abuse because it is abuse towards a living thing.

There are better ways to use time than for abusing animals.

While child/domestic abuse is absolutely sickening, at least someone being abused can tell another person that they're being abused. Animals can't do that.

Animals are pure of heart. No matter what they do, they are innocent. They do what they do to survive, but no matter what, people will fear them, and that's not fair at all because they are just like us.

All I can say is that if your pet is being "evil," it's probably because they learned it from you.

Most animals in Australia won't kill you unless you threaten them!

Honestly, yes. They get headaches, periods, and angry, and all the sentiments you get. So don't get angry when a dog doesn't want to be petted, etc.

Exactly. But sadly, someone told me that they don't have feelings when he and I were in sixth grade. What a liar he is.

It's so true! While you're watching a funny cat video, some people choke their cats to make them say things or force them to do things that may harm them. The same goes for most animal videos.

These videos of cats falling in the bathtub seem to be forced rather than actually falling themselves.

Cole and Marmalade's cat logic video = funny. Cats being pushed into toilets = not funny.

I'm talking about ANY animal. No animal deserves to be beaten almost to the point it's going to die. Animals deserve love and not hate.

I watched people hurt cows, cats, and dogs. It makes me want to kill humans the most when they abuse CATS. I'm crazy about cats, and seeing people use their fur makes me sick! And for any animal, just please. Stop animal abuse.

So true. Animals bring happiness and joy to people's lives, and they love us. Why can't animal abusers just do the same?

This is a horrible way of testing! If you test on a human, it might not kill them, but testing on a small, weaker animal like a rat will cause them extreme pain and maybe even death. It's horrible!

Not only that but why don't you test things on a person instead, I mean both a rat and a human are equally living things. Am I right, or am I right?

Test on people who are willing to do it not animals who don't have a choice!

Of course, they can't actually say sorry with their mouths, but they can express it. Once, my dog bit my foot, and I was upset. He could tell I was upset, so he started being all friendly with me in an attempt to apologize.
