5. What is animal Cruelty It is commonly believed that people who abuse animals are either showing signs of a predisposition to violence or have been victims of violence themselves. It may be a warning sign of even more serious problems to come. It is often recommended that those who abuse animals should be placed into counseling or receive psychological help. There are very strong connections between animal abuse and human violence. Animals that are victimized by animal abuse many times begin to suffer from behavioral problems as well.

6. Puppy Mills Puppy mills are breeding facilities that produce purebred puppies in large numbers. Often the puppies are sold directly to the public via the Internet, newspaper ads, or at the mill itself. In other cases they are sold to brokers and pet shops across the country. For the unwitting consumer, this situation frequently means buying a puppy facing an array of immediate veterinary problems or harboring genetic diseases that surface years later. The puppies don't have any papers. It's probably the worst place in the world for animals.
