| | Cruelty to animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cruelty to animals refers to treatment which causes unacceptable suffering or harm to animals. | | | In Mexico, animal cruelty laws are very lax or completely nonexistent; however, physical damage to animals can be punished as vandalism or property damage, while killing an animal in an intentional manner can be also punished as property destruction. | | | Some consider only suffering inflicted for sadistic reasons to be cruelty to animals, whereas others include the suffering inflicted for other reasons, such as producing fur or meat, or in the animal-testing and vivisection industries. |

| | I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs...[They] are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty. | | | Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the distinguishing vices of low and base minds. | | | My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cruelty To Animals |
| | But it is indisputable that, when properly understood and fairly judged, Catholic doctrine -- though it does not concede rights to the brute creation -- denounces cruelty to animals as vigorously and as logically as do those moralists who make our duty in this respect the correlative of a right in the animals. | | | Some other texts which are frequently quoted as instances are not so much to recommend kind treatment of animals as to insist upon duties of neighbourly goodwill. | | | The prohibition against seething the kid in its mother's milk, a process in which there is no cruelty at all, and the one against taking a mother-bird with her young, seem to have a religious rather than a humanitarian significance. |

| | The Crisis of Pet Overpopulation |
| | However, there are other equally tragic problems that result from pet overpopulation: the transformation of some animal shelters into "warehouses," the acceptance of cruelty to animals as a way of life in our society, and the stress that caring shelter workers suffer when they are forced to euthanize one animal after another. | | | Abandoned and stray companion animals who survive in the streets and alleys of cities and suburbs pose a health threat to humans and other animals. | | | Homeless companion animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and anger citizens who have no understanding of their misery or their needs. |
