Animal video crushing is where a well-dressed woman with high heels or bare feet smash small animals to death while the video is playing. The people who watch the crushing videos are usually sexually aroused by the videos. The cases for this type of cruelty usually hard to prove and the person in the video crushing the animal, usually only get zero to six months of prison, but more likely only probation.

This can often lead them to further violence in their adult lives.

Jeffrey Dahmer parents are also note that he like to kill and torture animals, which started innocently enough with a bowl of tadpoles in the third

All three petitions were denied, they moved the cases to the New York state appellate courts.
Mistreating animals as if one does not care for them is the same as mistreating humans. By mistreating poor doubtless animals it affects them and can sometimes lead into suffering stress. If humans are able to protect each other from harm, then why cannot animals do the same thing by having rights? This question is usefully asked for those who try to protect the rights of animals. In the article Of Primates and Personhood the author Ed Yong, a science journalist, contends, “I feel we should extend rights to a wide range of nonhuman animals… ‘all creatures that can feel pain should have a basic moral status’”
Animal Cruelty “One cannot look deeply into the eyes of an animal and not see the same depth, complexity and feeling we humans lay exclusive claims to,” stated Nan Sea Love. Just like what Nan Sea Love said, what is in animals is the same that is in humans, it does not mean it is okay to harm animals. So I ask you, people of Elk County, to prevent animal abuse in our cities. Animal cruelty needs to be explained, prevented, and donations need to be made to local human societies.
Every day, there are hundreds of incidents where animals are abused, tortured, and taken advantage of by humans. Animals are bred for the sole purpose of profit in many cases, such as animal testing and use of animal goods. While those who eat animals should not be frowned upon, one should put in effort to purchasing animal goods that were humanely raised, and one should not support the buying of products produced by animals shoved into cages so small that it cannot turn around or even live comfortably. One recent example of this cruelty could be found within the Hermes fashion company, where baby alligators are slaughtered for the sole purpose of making a watchband to fulfill the vanity of humans. Humans are given authority over animals, but this does not allow anyone the power to abuse animals for the purposes of fulfilling vanity and making

These creatures were exposed to category of mistreatment by certain citizens in the village. The Gates brothers usually practice acts of violence to animal. They hunt animals and later kill them.
We don’t care if an innocent animal is mistreated or killed because we have no obligation to be just to them. We however have many laws against abuse and murder in humans. What’s the difference? Do you sign a contract the moment you are born or agree to something to where you say that you won’t murder or abuse innocent people? Do you agree to not murder someone when you first met them?
These captured animals may have tags on one ear, have a piece of an ear cut off or dyed, and are kept tied up and abused (US, Public Health Service 192). Moreover, it is known that when pet animals bite a child, or become violent, they are put down, or are sent to a pound, which is equivalent to taking away their freedom. These animals therefore get removed from the general public, just in the same way that criminals became slaves and were kept together, separated from society (More 30). Hence, More believed that when humans gave into their violent tendencies, they should be treated like animals, but if they followed the rules of society and did not commit crimes, they were allowed the privileges that humans do, like freedom, and maintained the intelligence that made us better than animals
