I also think people should be arested and they cant use new products on anamals such as lipstick and other things . i also think it should be allegel to test anamals . we should help the anamals by giving them a SAFE home so BAD people done HURT them ! please help anamals !!!!!!!!!!!! :) And give them some justace !!!!! :)

I have watched a lot of shows about abused animals and that's sad. I have a horse that was abused and she is doing great. She has arthritis in one lag but she is the best horse ever. When I was walking to my bus stop she followed me and my sister to the gate. She is my uncle's horse but she loves to be the center of attention. But animal abuse is the most worst thing a person could ever. I think there should be a law for animal abuse and they should be in jail for many, many years. That is how bad I think animal abuse is. So people thinks that animal abuse is wrong help your community stop animal abuse.

This all shows how poor our law enforcement people are at enforcing animal abuse laws. Probably at least several things you listed are illegal, but no one in law enforcement cares enough to enforce them. Horse slaughter is almost always animal abuse. The way horses are treated at most slaughter plants is definitely abuse and inspectors may just check for the minimum care standards or just to see if the horse can stand. In "The Bond" (by Wayne Pacelle president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States) cows were allowed to be slaughtered as long as they could stand so they would do ANYTHING literally to get them to stand until inspection was over. Once they got in the slaughter area, they were stunned but not killed and then hung by 1leg, several times the HSUS investigator saw cows moving their heads or blinking while a worker would just continue sawing whatever body part they needed. Horses at slaughter houses were probably treated no different than the cows. PLEASE people help give animals their voice. I would recommend reading "The Bond" by Wayne Pacelle or checking out humaneteen.org or .com -Christina Rishel

HOW could someone hurt such innocent animals! There so cute and did nothing. I have seen those commercials of how animals get abused and its shows what they look like when it happens. Its so sad. ALL of these animals who get abused and scared and think, "I don't want this to happen. I can't trust anyone else." SO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND TAKE CARE OF THEM AND HELP THEM. STOP PEOPLE FROM DOING WHATS WRONG. I think that people shouldn't get animals if they're going to end up hurting them cause that's not right and its sad. I love animals and could do nothing like that. People who do that should be In some kind of trouble cause animal are family and friends.. NOT ENEMIES!!!

DON'T YOU KNOW PEOPLE THAT ABUSE ANIMALS IF YOU KEEP ABUSING THESE POOR ANIMALS THERES NOT GOING TO BE ANY ! You can really hurt or even KILL, these INNOCENT animals!

That's very dumb people would kill animals. I just don't understand why people would try to kill an animal!!!!!! People are very dumb for that- I just don't understand.
If you wanted an animal you wouldn't want to kill them, it's JUST DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Animals are so cute! We all love them. People need to be trapped up in jail for abusing animals, they should be sentenced for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is really sad. I feel people should get arrested for abusing animals. They are stupid for animals abuse . One day I saw a horse being abuse and it was so skinny too. I called animal control but to my surprise they didn't do anything about it. They just gave a warring to them even though the big dog was in a very small cage . That was so sad to see.

It is really sad that people have to be stupid and cruel when abusing animals because they think it's either fun and entertaining. Its kind of like WOW you really need to abuse an animal for your own entertainment?! I cant even believe some sick person could do this to a helpless Innocent animal. If people are going to abuse animals, why do they even have them, I mean if they are really going to get that mad at the animal why not just get rid of it. Some people think that animals can just survive anything so they can just put them in the worst conditions. This article is really sad but really opens your eyes on what is really happening to abused animals. Do they honestly think it's funny to put animals in pain and torture. Watching them suffer. How can people even live with themselves? I know for a fact that my dogs have never got hit at our house! If i ever hit or beat my dog, I would feel awful instantly. So I am not really sure how people even can watch their animals suffer from this.

How could somebody hurt a pressious little animal. They are to cute. What did the animals do to these people. The people that hurt animals must be physocitic. Michael Vick is an example and he should be in jail longer. He made animals suffer and now he should be suffering.
