One day Richard asked his parents about him, and what they thought. They told Richard to sit down that they needed to explain something to him. They said “there are people out there in our world that do things to others just to hurt them. They do it because they are sick or maybe enjoy it. Some just do it because that is all they know.

The definition of abuse is “to use ill; to maltreat; to misuse; to use with bad motives or to wrong purposes; as, to abuse rights or privileges” (Webster, N/A).

Minors, under the age of 18, were 31% likely to abuse animals. Also, animal abuse is 21% more likely in families that involve family violence” (Andrea, 1999).
