Comparing Animal Abuse To Domestic Violence

I am going to compare animal abuse to domestic violence. Animal abuse is very similar to domestic violence. Animal abuse is when you are inflicting physical pain and suffering or death upon an animal. Domestic violence is when violent or aggressive behavior is in the home of others, typically a spouse or partner. One difference with domestic violence is when you are abused as a child, it can be possible to grow up as abusive. When you don't have a spouse or partner and you have an animal, you can possibly take it out on the animal or pet. Some people may take it out on their pet and don’t realize what they are doing is wrong. People who abuse animals are most likely to harm an animal as well. People who are abusing the animal think they can

protect and help the animal, but truthfully, they don't know that they are really harming the animal almost killing it. Children who had grew up in abusive households, represent one-fifth of domestic animal cruelty cases. However, they do have similarities. One similarity is that when people are abusing children, it is releasing anger and aggression.

As children grow older, they start showing signs of domestic behavior. When they start to abuse animals or a pet, it is also showing signs that they are releasing anger and aggression. Most people take their anger out on something or someone that do not deserve to be abused. Another similarity with these two types of abuse is when an animal or human being is living in filth. Most children and pets can be abused by being in a filthy home, locked in a basement, or not being able to leave a specific room. In most cases, animals are usually found tied up or locked in a basement a long with children. Children can also be neglected by being starved and being locked in a specific room and not being able to go outside. Another similarity with these two types abuse is when the animal and human being can become more aggressive throughout life. Some animals who are being abused may turn aggressive and may have to be euthanized or in other words, put down. People throughout life who become aggressive and abusive, can usually kill an animal or human being and can also be killed with the death penalty. For example, on July 2015, a Texas man was charged with first degree murder and animal cruelty for beating his boyfriend fatally and strangling his boyfriends

dog. A witness claimed that he heard screaming, crashing and the victim's young Yorkshire Terrier crying out loud in pain after the murderer threatened to kill it. The only difference between the two abuses, is that one grows up as a victim to abuse, and the other abuse happens because of the victim being in a terrifying environment. I believe that this topic had many differences and similarities.
