There are many different reasons why individuals abuse animals. Animal
cruelty covers a wide range of actions (or lack of action), so one blanket
answer simply isn't possible. Each type of abuse has displayed certain patterns
of behavior that we can use to help understand more about why people commit the
crimes we encounter today.
Animal cruelty is often broken down into two main categories:
active and passive, also referred to as
commission and omission, respectively.
Passive Cruelty (Acts of Omission)
Passive cruelty is typified by cases of neglect, where the crime is a lack of
action rather than the action itself - however do not let the terminology fool
you. Severe animal
neglect can cause incredible pain and suffering to an animal.
Examples of neglect are starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations,
allowing a collar to grow into an animal's skin, inadequate shelter in extreme
weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when an animal needs
medical attention.
In many cases of neglect where an investigator feels that the cruelty
occurred as a result of ignorance, they may attempt to educate the pet owner and
then revisit the situation to check for improvements. In more severe cases
however, exigent circumstances may require that the animal is removed from the
site immediately and taken in for urgent medical care.
Active Cruelty (Acts of Commission)
Active
cruelty implies malicious intent, where a person has deliberately and
intentionally caused harm to an animal, and is sometimes referred to as NAI
(Non-Accidental Injury). Acts of intentional cruelty are often some of the most
disturbing and should be considered signs of serious psychological problems.
This type of behavior is often associated with sociopathic behavior and should
be taken very seriously.
Animal abuse in violent homes can take many forms and can occur for many
reasons. Many times a parent or domestic partner who is abusive may kill, or
threaten to kill, the household pets to intimidate family members into sexual
abuse, to remain silent about previous or current abuse, or simply to
psychologically torture the the victims, flexing their "power".
