I think animal abuse is horrible. I understand if an dangerous animal is trying to harm you or someone you love you have a right to defend yourself. But just hurting a defenseless animal for whatever reason is disgraceful, its like hurting a baby, a helpless creature.
Now I have a question. My parents had a dog that recently died. He was at the age where it was time but he has been in pain for the past 2-3 years. He had a hard time getting up, going to the bathroom, pretty much anything hurt him. I wanted my parents to put him down when he started getting really bad. But they just couldn't do it. Is this considered animal abuse?
