Animal Cruelty

Animal cruelty synonyms are animal abuse and animal neglect.

Forms

Two categories fall down from animal cruelty: active and passive. The passive cruelty can be exemplified in cases of neglect, cruelty is being demonstrated as a lack of action rather than the action itself. Oftentimes passive animal cruelty is accidental, born of ignorance. When investigator analyze a case of neglections and believes that this type of case occurred du to ignorance, the investigator may attempt to educate the pet owner, then revisit the situation. The active cruelty is the one were we see the action itself of an active abuse to an animal.

Most common victims

The animals whose suffer most from abuse are dogs, cats, horses and livestock. There are many undercover investigations that revealed animal abuse in factory farms industry, unfortunately it has been demonstrated that many abuse comes from there. Only the most cruelty cases are reported due to a weak protection afforded to livestock under state cruelty laws , and few are ever prosecuted.
