Let's Stop Dog Abuse


There are different opinions as to whether it is considered abuse when it comes to using dogs and animals for furs, medical research and testing. Many people consider this a moral issue.

There are different types of cruelty, there is abuse that is done willingly and knowingly, a deliberate act. Then there is neglect, where the animal is not deliberately hurt or abused but because of lack of care, considered a form of abuse.

In some cases people who are cruel to animals will also practice the same types of cruelty on other people.

In some countries dogs are used for food and sacrifices, there are different morals that can come into play here when it comes to determining what is cruel and what is not.
