Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is the infliction of suffering or harm upon non-human
animals, for purposes other than self-defense. More narrowly, it can be
harm for specific gain, such as killing animals for food or for their
fur, although opinions differ with respect to the method of slaughter.
Diverging viewpoints are held by jurisdictions throughout the world.
Broadly speaking, there are two approaches to the issue. The animal welfare
position holds that there is nothing inherently wrong with using
animals for human purposes, such as food, clothing, entertainment, and
research, but that it should be done in a humane way that minimizes
unnecessary pain and suffering. Animal rights
theorists criticize this position, arguing that the words "unnecessary"
and "humane" are subject to widely differing interpretations, and that
the only way to ensure protection for animals is to end their status as
property, and to ensure that they are never used as commodities.
Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent needless cruelty
to animals, rather than killing for other aims such as food, or they
concern species not eaten as food in the country involved, such as those
regarded as pets.
