Breeds Of Animals Affected By Abuse

Different breeds of animals require different handling.

Abuse first off, is something that can affect any animal or pet and has no preference as to what breed it picks to affect. Any breed is susceptible and can be a victim of abuse and or, neglect. Abuse is not just limited to a physical action; it can also be emotionally inflicted as well.

Many people have no care or concern of animals in any sense of the word. Unfortunately, animal cruelty and abuse happens and it is heartbreaking to see animals neglected or abused while in the care of another human being.

Now, in our discussion of breeds affected by abuse or animal cruelty or just plain neglect, there are breeds that seem to be more widely affected by abuse or neglect. Animals with a dominant tendency are often the victims of abuse just because they are often high energy in personality and require more maintenance and attention. New pet owners need to consider these tendencies prior to bringing a new pet into their lives.

Some animals are normally and genetically inclined to have bouts or displays of being protective, incessant barking, or just appearing to be to rambunctious when at play. Some owners mistake this for behavioral dysfunction and tire of the animal. Their acts of discipline of the animal resorts to physical contact and not in a good way either!

When people decide to take on ownership of an animal, they do not realize that this means that the animal’s food, shelter, medical needs, and love need to be a permanent decision and should not change when the animal stops to respond or behave, as they would have liked them to. Owning a pet or animal is much more than that, and if people would take into consideration all of the things involved, and make an educated and smart decision in their owning of a pet, abuse could be well on its way to being stamped out.

In addition, abuse and neglect occurs when an owner has chosen a certain breed or animal for a specific reason such as, using the pet for just breeding purposes, or using them to fight one another for their profit and gain. This is a whole other gray area in the plight of many to stand up and fight for animals that cannot speak for themselves, let alone defend themselves from the owners and the situations the owners bring them to.

The love of an animal and of course providing them food and shelter are not all that will sustain an animal. There is so much more that goes into their care and needs. If you are not sure of just what it takes to care for a specific animal or animal breed, and you are seriously contemplating getting one that you are not sure how to take care of. Your local animal shelter or many animal refuge caretakers can educate you in this area, and are all too happy to assist. Play it smart, when making a decision as to what breed or animal you will want for a pet
