Animal Cruelty is a nationwide problem that is
rapidly growing in today’s society. Animals are being beaten and starved
everyday and millions of helpless animals die each year because of
irresponsible owners. There are many forms of animal cruelty. The most common
forms of animal cruelty are scientific research, abandonment, and mistreatment.
The shocking number of cruelty cases reported daily on television, on the
internet and in newspapers is only a small part of something larger. In
media-reported animal cruelty cases, dogs are the most common victims of animal
cruelty. Pit bulls are the most commonly abused animal. According to “The
Humane Society of The United States” in the year 2007 only 1,880 cases of
animal cruelty were reported. 64.5 percent were dogs 25 percent of dogs were
some sort of pitbull breed. 18 percent were cats and 25 percent involved other
animals. According to the “Daily Mail” in the year 2014 RSPCA investigated
160,00 cases after receiving complaints in which one in eight involved
violence.As the years go by the numbers of animal cruelty keep increasing.
