  1. Animal abuse is a terrible thing. I don't understand why people have to harm something. Starving an animal to death is just wrong. And people who have sexual intercourse with an animal is just ridiculous people need to start treating animals with respect.

  3. I don't get why people hurt animals. Sometime if I watch shows on Animal Planet like Miami Animal Police and see how badly animals get treated I could cry sometimes. I have a dog and I would never want anything to happen to him. If a person is just going to hurt their animal, DON'T GET ONE!
