=Our narrative=

==Every year, thousands of animals are getting abused and, although there are people trying to prevent this issue the message is still not getting through to the abusers. The main type of abuse that is happening to animals is that they are being dragged across the floor and crushed. There are many types of abuse that is happening to animals and these are some of them: throwing the animal. Biting the animal, hitting the animal and stepping on the animal and starving the animal. The abusers sometimes make videos of these vile actions. These videos are called crush videos.== ==Animals mainly get abused in the early hours of the morning when no one is around so no one can see them doing these illegal actions. Abuse is happening to animals because the person might have anger management problems and need to take it out on someone or something and they see a poor, defenseless animal and take it out on it. It is either that or they plainly just don’t like the animal. It is mainly males that abuse animals but in Asia it is mostly the women. Dogs are the most commonly abused animals but all kinds of animals are abused ranging from mice to elephants.== ==A huge 88 percent of the animals being abused actually die from it. From our research we found out that it Is Americans who abuse animals the most. We hope that this narrative has made you think twice about abusing animals and has shown you what happens to animals that have been abused.==

ANIMALS DON’T DESERVE IT.
