Animal cruelty - types

Few months back i posted a true incidence with a female dog; how a poker was removed surgically from dog's uterus.
Even just a thought of that incidence make me restless, how a human can be co cruel to these innocent animals.
There can be different reasons why individuals abuse animals. Each type of abuse has displayed certain patterns of behavior that we can use to help understand more about why people commit the crimes we encounter today.
Animal cruelty is often divided into two main categories: active or comission and passive or omission.


Active Cruelty - where a person has deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal, and is also referred to as NAI (Non-Accidental Injury). These acts are most disturbing and should be considered signs of serious psychological problems. Animal abuse in violent homes can take many forms and can occur for many reasons. Many times a person who is abusive may kill, or threaten to kill, the household pets to intimidate family members into sexual abuse, to remain silent about previous or current abuse.
Passive Cruelty - it is a case of neglect, where the crime is a lack of action rather than the action itself. Severe animal neglect can cause incredible pain and suffering to an animal.
Examples are starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when an animal is sick.

Dog adoption from a shelter - two ways benefits

Most shelters are known as “kill shelters,” as elderly dogs, chronically ill dogs, dogs with serious behavioral problems or dogs in the shelter for a long period of time without a home are at risk of euthanasia. So adopting a dog from a shelter may save a dog from euthanasia.
80 percent of shelter dogs are in the shelter due to a change in living situation (i.e. a move to a small apartment ), a change in family situation (i.e. a new baby), or their owner has died or is too ill to care for them any longer.
“When you adopt a puppy, you have no idea what that dog will evolve into when he matures. You have no idea what bad habits he’ll have, how big he’ll get, what his temperament will be like, if he’ll get along with the children or if he’s incompatible with other dogs. With an adult dog, you know exactly what you’re getting into.”

Animal shelters and other rescue organizations provide information on new dog’s personality, temperament, habits and qualities on training, common behavior problems, feeding, general care etc. Breeders and pet stores generally do not offer such support.
Shelter dogs are large and small, and there are pure-breeds and mixes. New dogs arrive at shelters and at rescue organizations every day, so checking back on a weekly basis, or check the shelter or organization’s website for the latest profiles on adoptable pets.
Dog owners who adopt dog from a shelter or rescue organization also have the benefit of taking home a pet that’s been already spayed or neutered. Usually all rescue organizations and shelters neuter or spay all cats and dogs before they’re placed. I always encourage owners to meet the animals – that’s the best way to find your pet. Looks can attract you to a dog initially, but it’s not going to work if your personalities aren’t compatible. So meet the dogs to find the best suitable dog for you.
