The current punishment for animal abuse is a jail and/or a fine. It's not worth it. Next time you want to abuse your pet, please think of this. Hopefully this is a suitable deterrence.

Active animal abuse
Active cruelty implies malicious intent, as when a person has deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal, and is sometimes referred to as NAI (Non-Accidental Injury). Acts of intentional animal cruelty may be indicators of serious psychological problems. There is an intrinsic link between battered pets and battered women and children. The likelihood that women's shelter personnel will encounter women and children who have been threatened by batterers using animal abuse as a weapon is high. This is because more families in America have pets than have children. Secondly, the majority of pet owners are themselves parents with children. Thirdly, 64.1% of households with children under age 6, and 74.8% of households with children over age 6 also have pets. Lastly, as many as 71% of pet-owning women seeking shelter at safe houses have reported that their partner had threatened and/or actually hurt or killed one or more of their pets; 32% of these women reported that one or more of their children had also hurt or killed pets. Battered women report that they are prevented from leaving their abusers because they fear what will happen to the animals in their absence. Animal abuse sometimes is used as a form of intimidation in domestic disputes.

Passive animal abuse
In many cases of neglect in which an investigator believes that the cruelty occurred out of ignorance, the investigator may attempt to educate the pet owner, and then revisit the situation. In more severe cases, exigent circumstances may require that the animal be removed for veterinary care.

Hi guys, we are from Catholic High and doing a project on the Prevention of Animal Abuse. We hope that readers is able to learn more about Animal abuse after reading our blog. In singapore, the SPCA gets about 800 animals every month, more than one animal every hour of the day, on average. This is a really large amount of animals they took in for such a small country like Singapore. Further, if you look at the matter globally, a website meant for pet abuse has at least 20 new entries a day, proving that animal abuse happens everywhere, and has become a serious problem. For example, in Britain, half of the households own a pet, and every year, 2000 owners are convicted of abusing their pets. In Singapore, there are also many cases too, with the most recent one being the serial cat killer in the western part of Singapore. To be continued.....
