Because animals cannot report abuse and can do little to fight back, they’re often used as “practice” victims by those who tend towards violence.

Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty against animals often go on to commit violent acts against their fellow humans. As long as the perpetrator of this crime is at large, other animals – including humans – might also be in danger.
