Animal Cruelty Statistics
Animal Cruelty Statistics
- Each year, 10,000 bull dogs die in bullfighting.
- Women in abusive relationships often don't leave their abuser because they worry what will happen to their pet if they leave.
- 13% of animal abuse involves domestic violence.
- 70% of animal abusers also have records of other crimes.
- 3 to 4 million cats and dogs (young, healthy and adoptable) are euthanized every year in shelters.
- Animals that aren't euthanized are often sent to no-kill shelters where the animals are caged for days, weeks, months or years and the animals risk becoming insane and dying of loneliness.
- Millions of day-old male chicks are killed in a high capacity macerator because they are worthless to the egg industry.

- More than 15 million warm blooded animals are used in research world wide.
- Scientists estimate that 100 species of animals go extinct every day.
Definition of Animal Cruelty

The infliction of physical pain, suffering or death upon an animal, when not necessary for purposes of training or discipline or (in the case of death) to procure food or to release the animal from incurable suffering, but done wantonly, for mere sport, for the indulgence of a cruel and vindictive temper, or with reckless indifference to its pain.
