Animal abuse involves certain types of dog abusers and animal torturers, individuals who have begun to take on a viciousness and hatred toward animals and eventually humans. It is this group we are focusing on through our article of animal abuser information. On one side are animal activists who care for the animals and wish to protect those that are abused, the other side of the pendulum is full of horror–fueled by abusive backgrounds and lack of proper care for those who are mentally and psychologically damaged.

Many animal abusers do not intentionally abuse their animals. Lacking adequate information and actually thinking they are helping the animals, they become overcrowded and cannot handle all the animals they take home or they lack information or proper resources to properly care for the ones they have. Many have emergencies come up and do not have the proper finances to feed or medically care for their animals.

Another level of abusers are the ones who intentionally and persistently abuse small animals and children. Most start out when they are young, and as they become older will become more vicious and turn this hatred and abuse toward the wives and children, in addition to animals in the home. This article is about them, the least common of animal abusers — yet the most violent and dangerous. These animal abusers are more powerful than the animals they abuse in size and strength.  Dogs, puppies, kittens and other animals can be easily overwhelmed by these individuals, choosing do them harm through harsh use of physical and abusive of control and power.

Many even harm inanimate objects if live subjects cannot be found to abuse. or if they have not yet reached that level psychologically yet to harm living creatures. These animal abusers have mental problems that are severe and psychologically damaging. To live a normal life, they need mental help or they will continue on their path until more serious damage is done to both animals and humans … eventually resulting in death.

Only by making the laws harsh enough to punish them will the number of abused animals decrease. It should be mandatory that animal abusers need counseling and psychological help … mainly because of the abuse when they were young and their need to live normally.
