Types of Abuse (part 1)

I’m not quite sure how to start this post to be completely honest…I know I want to write out a detailed list in order of most commonly talked about types of animal abuse and how I would explain it to someone who has no idea of what they might be.
Please remember everyone has different opinions and I am in no way, shape or form saying my opinions are the only ones and especially not trying to offend anyone else’s opinions.

The first and most heard of abuse would be physical abuse, there are many different way this can occur when someone intentionally causes physical pain to an animal whether it’s done with an object or not. Of course all abuse is painful to the animals but I think this can be one of the hardest types to talk about because it can cause permanent damage or worse…

The second most talked about would probably be testing done on animals; this is a heavily debatable topic. It seems to me that the amount of people that agree this process is around but not quite as high as the amount of people who disagree completely. This is a horrible type of abuse; way too many animals have gone blind, had infections and all sorts of illnesses that shouldn’t have happened. Cosmetics, medications and procedures are all done on innocent animals that spend their lives in cages, scared and alone. On the plus side more and more companies are against these kinds of tests and are releasing the animals to sanctuaries.

 I’ve always dreamt of being a vet and one day in the car my mom was telling me how one of her friend’s children applied to veterinary school, the school accepted the application and requested an interview. During the interview they asked “Do you agree with testing on animals? ” thinking “no I do not” would be the right answer and a truthful one on her part that’s what she answered, she was later informed that she did not pass the interview.


I just realized that my post is getting pretty long and I don’t want to bore you so I will continue this subject in my next post. I hope you liked this and will be back for the rest of the post. Thank you for reading and I’ll talk to you next time!
